One of the methods to check the Prime Factor of a number is trial division. Trial division consists of very easy and basic algorithms, though it is an extremely slow process. In this method, we have to check each number by dividing the composite number in question by the integer and deciding if, and how many times, the number can divide the number equally. Show To get the prime factorisation of 88, we have to start with dividing it by primes 88 ÷ 44 = 2 44 ÷ 22 = 2 22 ÷ 11 = 2 11 ÷ 1 = 11 So here he prime factorisation of 88 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 = 23 x 111 We can check it in a prime factorisation calculator also. The algorithm used in the calculator and trial division may differ but the result is always the same.

Prime Factors of 88 definition First note that prime numbers are all positive integers that can only be evenly divided by 1 and itself. Prime Factors of 88 are all the prime numbers that when multiplied together equal 88.How to find the Prime Factors of 88 The process of finding the Prime Factors of 88 is called Prime Factorization of 88. To get the Prime Factors of 88, you divide 88 by the smallest prime number possible. Then you take the result from that and divide that by the smallest prime number. Repeat this process until you end up with 1. This Prime Factorization process creates what we call the Prime Factor Tree of 88. See illustration below. All the prime numbers that are used to divide in the Prime Factor Tree are the Prime Factors of 88. Here is the math to illustrate: 88 ÷ 2 = 4444 ÷ 2 = 2222 ÷ 2 = 1111 ÷ 11 = 1 Again, all the prime numbers you used to divide above are the Prime Factors of 88. Thus, the Prime Factors of 88 are: 2, 2, 2, 11. How many Prime Factors of 88? When we count the number of prime numbers above, we find that 88 has a total of 4 Prime Factors. Product of Prime Factors of 88 The Prime Factors of 88 are unique to 88. When you multiply all the Prime Factors of 88 together it will result in 88. This is called the Product of Prime Factors of 88. The Product of Prime Factors of 88 is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 = 88Prime Factor Calculator Do you need the Prime Factors for a particular number? You can submit a number below to find the Prime Factors of that number with detailed explanations like we did with Prime Factors of 88 above.Prime Factors of 89
Factors of 88 are the numbers which when multiplied in pairs give the product as 88. These factors can be negative as well. The number 88 is an even composite number. In this lesson, we will calculate the factors of 88, prime factors of 88, and factors of 88 in pairs along with solved examples for a better understanding.
What are the Factors of 88?Factors of a number are the numbers that divide the given number exactly without any remainder. For example,
Different methods like prime factorization and the division method can be used to calculate the factors of 88. In prime factorization, we express 88 as a product of its prime factors and in the division method, we see what numbers divide 88 exactly without a remainder. Important Notes:

Prime factorization means expressing a given number in terms of the product of its prime factors. We can use the division method or factor tree to do this. 1. Prime Factorization by DivisionThe number 88 is divided by the smallest prime number which divides 88 exactly, i.e. it leaves a remainder 0. The quotient is then divided by the smallest or second smallest prime number and the process continues till the quotient becomes indivisible. Let us divide 88 by the prime number 2 88 ÷ 2=44 Now we need to divide the quotient 44 by the next least prime number. Since 44 is an even number, it is divisible by 2 44 ÷ 2=22 22 will again be divisible by 2 22 ÷ 2=11 11 is a prime number and hence not further divisible. Prime factorization of 88 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 Therefore, the prime factors of 88 are 2 and 11 2. Prime Factorization by Factor TreeThe other way of prime factorization is taking 88 as the root and creating branches by dividing it by the smallest prime number. This method is similar to the division method above. The difference lies in presenting the factorization. Collect all the numbers in circles and write 88 as the product of these numbers. Hence, 88 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 Factors of 88 in PairsThe factor pairs of a number are the two numbers which, when multiplied, give the required number. Factor pairs of 88 are:
So, the factor pairs of 88 are : (1,88), (2,44), (4,22), (8,11)
But we will focus on the positive factors in this article.
Example 2: Jessy loves cupcakes. She eats 2 cupcakes every day. In how many days will she eat 88 cupcakes? Solution: Total number of cupcakes = 88 To find the number of days she will take to finish 88 cupcakes, we will divide 88 by 2 88 ÷ 2=44 We can also solve the problem by using the information that (2, 44) are pair factors of 88. So, having known that 2 as one of the 88, the other factor is 44 Hence, in 44 days she will eat 88 cupcakes.
Example 3: Sam wants to find if the numbers 78, 88, and 99 have any common factor other than 1. Can you help him do it? Solution Factors of 78 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39 and 78 Factors of 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44 and 88 Factors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33 and 99 So, there is no number other than 1 common to all. Hence, 78, 88, and 99 don't have any common factor other than 1 go to slidego to slidego to slide
