Prime Factorization
Objective
• To use divisibility rules to check for divisibility and write the prime factorization of numbers in exponential form.
• Why? To help you with prime factoring, simplifying fractions, division.
California State Standards NS 1.4 (Gr. 5): Determine the prime factors of
all numbers through 50 and write the numbers as the product of their prime factors by using exponents to show the multiples (e.g., 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 2³ x 3)
MR 3.3: Develop generalizations of the results obtained and the strategies used and apply them in new problem situations.
Vocabulary• Divisible – A number is divisible by another number if the remainder is
zero after dividing.• 36 ÷ 6 = 6
• Prime Number– A whole number greater than one with only two factors-
itself and one.• 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 57, 59, …
• Composite Number– A whole number greater than one that has more than two
factors• 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, …
• Prime Factorization– Writing a number as the product of its prime factors
• 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
Divisibility Rules! Divisibility Rules
A number is divisible by:
2 If the last digit ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (any even number)
3 If the sums of the digits is divisible by 3 (may be even or odd)
4 If the last two digits are divisible by 4 (only an even number)
5 If the last digit ends in 0 or 5 (any number ending in 5 or 0)
6 If the number is divisible by 2 and 3 (only an even number)
9 If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9 (may be even or odd)
10 If the last digit ends with a 0 (only ends in 0)
How To Prime Factor - #1• Make a ‘Factor Tree’ 40 2 x 20 5 x 4
2 x 2 = 2³ x 5Factor out each number until you get only primesCircle the prime numbers to be organizedPut final answer in exponential form
How to Prime Factor- #2Make a ‘Factor Ladder’
Put the number at the top of a ‘ladder’= box
If it is even, begin ÷ 2 If not, try greater primes like 3,
5, 7, 9Only move on when the current
number you are using doesn’t work anymore
Use the divisibility rules to helpThe numbers on the side of the
ladder are the numbers used for prime factorization.
