EXAMPLE :30 We know that 13 is a factor of each one of the numbers 65 and 117.
                       So, 13 must be a factor of(l 17 - 65) = 52.                                                                                                       PRACTICE EXERCISE 2 .3
                       Clearly. 13 divides 52 exactly.

                              We know that 20 × 20 = 400.                                                                          PRIME FACTOR A factor of a given number is called a prime factor if this factor is a prime number.
        Rule Examine whether the given number is divisible by any prime number less than 20. if yes then it is not
        prime; otherwise it is prime.                                                                                              EXAMPLE 1: 2 and 3 are prime factors of 12.

        SOLUTION   (i) Testthe divisibilityof263 byeach one of theprimenumbers2,3,5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 .                           tion or complete factorization of the given number.
                               We find that 263 is no t divisible by any of these numbers.
                                So, 263 is a prime number.                                                                         EXAMPLE 2:  Let us factorize 36 in three different ways as given below:
                                                                                                                                                        36 = 2 × 18    36 = 3 × 12   36 = 9 × 4
                       (ii)Test the divisibilityof 323 byeach one of thenumbers2,3,5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.                                                         2 × 9             2 × 6    3 × 3  2 × 2
                                We find that 323 is divisible by 1 7.                                                                                            3 × 3             2 × 3
                              ∴ 323 is no t a prime number.                                                                                             Thus, 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3: 36 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 3; 36 = 3 × 3 × 2 × 2.

                       (iii) Testthe divisibilityof361 byeach one oftheprimenumbers2,3,5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.                       We notice here that in each of the prime factorizations, the factors may be arranged differently but, in fact, they
                                 We find that 361 is divisible by 19 .                                                             are the same.
                                 Hence, 361 is no t a prime number.                                                                Thus, we generalise this result as under.
