What is a prime factorization of 54

How many squares are in this puzzle? Finding that answer is too tedious for me to pursue. There is 1 square that is bigger than all the rest, 169 of the smallest size squares, and some different number between 1 and 169 for each size square in between. Also, I think the clues seem to form three little squares, and one of the clues, 16, happens to be a perfect square. It’s a trick question, and most people don’t like trick questions!

Solving the actual puzzle will actually be less work and more fun. The actual puzzle challenges you to write the numbers 1 through 12 in the top row and again in the first column so that the answers you write and the clues inside the puzzle work together as a multiplication table. Use logic to find the unique solution to the puzzle.

Here we have a collection of all the information you may need about the Prime Factors of 54. We will give you the definition of Prime Factors of 54, show you how to find the Prime Factors of 54 (Prime Factorization of 54) by creating a Prime Factor Tree of 54, tell you how many Prime Factors of 54 there are, and we will show you the Product of Prime Factors of 54.

Prime Factors of 54 definition

First note that prime numbers are all positive integers that can only be evenly divided by 1 and itself. Prime Factors of 54 are all the prime numbers that when multiplied together equal 54.
How to find the Prime Factors of 54 The process of finding the Prime Factors of 54 is called Prime Factorization of 54. To get the Prime Factors of 54, you divide 54 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 54. See illustration below.

What is a prime factorization of 54

All the prime numbers that are used to divide in the Prime Factor Tree are the Prime Factors of 54. Here is the math to illustrate: 54 ÷ 2 = 2727 ÷ 3 = 99 ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3 = 1 Again, all the prime numbers you used to divide above are the Prime Factors of 54. Thus, the Prime Factors of 54 are: 2, 3, 3, 3.
How many Prime Factors of 54? When we count the number of prime numbers above, we find that 54 has a total of 4 Prime Factors.

Product of Prime Factors of 54

The Prime Factors of 54 are unique to 54. When you multiply all the Prime Factors of 54 together it will result in 54. This is called the Product of Prime Factors of 54. The Product of Prime Factors of 54 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 54

Factors of 54 are the list of integers that can be evenly divided into 54. There are overall 8 factors of 54 among which 54 is the biggest factor and its positive factors are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27 and 54. The Pair Factors of 54 are (1, 54), (2, 27), (3, 18), and (6, 9) and its Prime Factors are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54.

  • Factors of 54: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27 and 54
  • Negative Factors of 54: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -18, -27 and -54
  • Prime Factors of 54: 2, 3
  • Prime Factorization of 54: 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 33
  • Sum of Factors of 54: 120

Before we move ahead, let’s recall a little about factors. A factor is a number that divides the given number without any remainder. The factors of 54 are pairs of those numbers whose products results in 54

What is a prime factorization of 54

To calculate the factors of any number, here in this case 54, we need to find all the numbers that would divide 54 without leaving any remainder. We start with the number 1, then check for numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc up to 54 respectively. The number 1 and the number itself would always be a factor of the given number.

We express 54 as a product of its prime factors in the prime factorization method as well as we divide 54 with its divisors in the division method. Let us see which numbers divide 54 exactly without a  remainder. The divisors, as well as the quotients, are the factors of 54

  • 54 ÷ 1 = 54, therefore, 1 and 24 is a factor of 54
  • 54 ÷ 2 = 27, therefore, 2 is a factor of 54
  • 54 ÷ 3 = 18, therefore, 3 is a factor of 54
  • 54 ÷ 6 = 9, therefore, 6 is a factor of 54

Hence, the factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27 and 54

To understand the concept of finding factors by prime factorization better, let us take a few more examples.

  • Factors of 51- The factors of 51 are 1, 3, 17, 51.
  • Factors of 52 - The factors of 52 are 1, 2, 13, 52.
  • Factors of 55 - The factors of 55 are 1, 5, 11, 55.
  • Factors of 56 - The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 56  
  • Factors of 48 - The factors of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

Important Notes

  • While finding factors of any number, we consider only whole numbers and integers.
  • Decimal numbers and fractions are not considered as factors of a number.
  • All even numbers will definitely have 2 as its factor.

Factors of 54 by prime factorization are given by using the following steps. In the first step write the pair of factors, which on multiplication gives the required number. 54 can be factored as a product of 6 and 9.  In the second step See the factors, whether each one of them is prime or not. 6 is not a prime number and can be dissociated as a product of 2 by 3. 9 is not a prime number and can be dissociated as a product of 3 by the square of 3 in step three, as per the criteria, 54 can be written as 54 = 6 × 9 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3. It can also be written as 54 = 2 × 33.
Observe below the prime factorization of 54

What is a prime factorization of 54

Pair factors are pairs of those numbers which when multiplied, give the product as the required number.

Factors of 54 in pairs can be written as:

Factors Pair factors
1 × 54 = 54 1, 54 
2 × 27 = 54 2, 27
3 × 18 = 54  3, 18 
6 × 9  = 54  6, 9
9 × 6 = 54  9, 6 
18 × 3 = 54  18, 3 
27 × 2 = 54  27, 2 
54 × 1 = 54 54, 1 

The above given factors are positive pair factors. 

It is possible to have negative pair factors as well because the product of two negative numbers also gives a positive number.

Let's have a look at negative pair factors. 

Factors Pair factors
-1 × -54 = 54 (-1, -54) 
-2 × -27 = 54 (-2, -27)
-3 × -18 = 54 ( -3, -18) 
-6 × -9  = 54  (-6, -9)
-9 × -6 = 54 ( -9, -6) 
-18 × -3 = 54  (18, -3 )   
-27 × -2 = 54 ( -27, -2 ) 
-54 × -1 = 54  (-54, -1 )

  1. Example 1: James, Judy, and Christina pluck 54 oranges and distribute them among themselves equally. How many oranges will each of them get? 

    Solution:

    54 oranges are to be divided among James, Judy, and Christina equally. So for this, we need to divide the number 54 by 3 54 ÷ 3=18

    Hence each child will get 18 oranges.

  • Example 2: Help Ruth in finding the following factors of 54.

    a. Half of 54?
    b. Two-third of 54?

    Solution

    a. 54 ÷ 2=27 b. 54 × 2 ÷ 3 = 36 But 36 is not a factor of 54

    So, no factor of 54 is two-third of 54

  • Example 3: Give one-factor pair of 54 which contains both composite numbers.

    Solution

    The possible factor pairs of 54 are (1, 54), (2, 27), (3, 18), (6, 9) 1, 2, and 3 are not composite.

    So, out of all these pairs, only (6, 9) has both the factors as composite numbers.

    What is the Sum of the Factors of 54?

    Sum of all factors of 54 = (21 + 1 - 1)/(2 - 1) × (33 + 1 - 1)/(3 - 1) = 120

    What Numbers Are the Prime Factors of 54?

    The prime factors of 54 are 2, 3.

    How Many Factors of 34 are also Common to the Factors of 54?

    Since, the factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54 and the factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, 34.
    Hence, [1, 2] are the common factors of 54 and 34.
