How to Find The Prime Factors Using Factor Tree
PRIME FACTORISATION Prime factorisation is the process by which a composite number is rewritten as the product of prime factors.Example 1: Find out the prime factorisation of 30. First we will see whether the given number is divisible by a least prime number. Yes, it is, because the digit at its ones place is 0. 30 = 2 × 15 We have, 15 = 3 × 5So, the factors of 30 … [Read more...] about How to Find The Prime Factors Using Factor Tree
What Is Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic We have discussed about Euclid Division Algorithm in the previous post.Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Statement: Every composite number can be decomposed as a product prime numbers in a unique way, except for the order in which the prime numbers occur. For example: (i) 30 = 2 × 3 × 5, 30 = 3 × 2 × 5, 30 = 2 × 5 × 3 and so on. (ii) … [Read more...] about What Is Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
How To Find The HCF And LCM Using Prime Factorisation Method
Find The HCF And LCM using Prime Factorisation Method Relation between two numbers and their HCF and LCM Consider two numbers 18 and 24. Prime factorisation of 18 = 2 × 3 × 3 Prime factorisation of 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 So, HCF = 2 × 3 = 6 LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 72 Product of HCF and LCM = 6 × 72 = 432 Product of given numbers = 18 × 24 = 432 The product of LCM and … [Read more...] about How To Find The HCF And LCM Using Prime Factorisation Method
