Best of luck! The best you can do now is go over your notes, read through the process on any math you found tricky and refamiliarise yourself with it, doing a couple of examples (probably from some online site like math-aids.com where you can check your answers). Prime factorization is kind of a memory-muscle thing. Once you've done enough of it, you just remember it. I doubt they'll give you numbers big enough to force the use of this method, but I like to be prepared for all eventualities. Usually the factor tree is good enough. To be honest what I do now with a big number is combine the two. So I'll divide until I can spot a value from my tables knowledge, then flick into factor-tree mode and finish it in a couple of seconds. But always circle your primes so you don't accidentally miss any. All the best for your exam tomorrow, I hope it's a walk in the park for you. 😃🤗😎🤩👍💕

For super fast factoring I first notice the 0. So I am taking a 2 and 5 all at once. I also look to grab another 2 or 3 at the same time. In her case I'd first divide by 30 and repeat. Also, checking divisibility by three does not require you have the total. Just skip over the 3,6, and 9 digits. In her example just add 7 and 2. As a matter of fact, while you are doing 3 do 9 at the same time. In that case skip any 9s, but you do need to see that 6 and 3 are nine, and you can group 7 and 2 to be a nine. My first division might have been a 90 in her example.

@LetsDoMath7 жыл бұрын
Hi there! You're welcome. I love this method for prime factorization - it'll whittle down to size the big numbers your teachers might throw at you without you struggling with a factor tree. On my channel, I do have videos for rules of divisibility of 2 , 3 and 5. I didn't make a video for 7, but you saw me refer to the rule for 7 in this film. Being able to spot whether 2, 3 and 5 are factors just by looking at them is an essential math skill. Generally, the numbers you'll get in school will be divisible by smaller primes (2,3,5,7,11). I ALWAYS go for the values I can spot instantly, and that means using smaller primes. 2 is very often a repeated prime, and 3. When you carve into a 3-digit+ number, then you might start to see numbers you know from your tables, like 121 which is from 11x11, both prime. Here are the links to my rules of divisibility films if you want to look at those: Rule for 2 (kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=kgAk6f1zenY&feature=vm) Rule for 3 kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=xdunx3IbkeI&feature=vm Rule for 5 kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=8uzNMMxuXOw&feature=vm The rules for 2 and 5 are both aimed at younger audiences. When you start to use an algorithm for division, then you can access this rule and make sense of it. I want all young kids to learn that you can spot this, then it doesn't seem like some great revelation later on when they are doing prime factorizations, because then, there's a bunch of rules to take on-board. Better to do it a little bit at a time. I hope that helps.

Thank you Mrs @LadyDMcollector for your quick answer, I am GRE candidate brushing up on my math skills, so I need to understand more the rules of divisibility for 11, 13 and up if there is, thanks a lot !
@LetsDoMath7 жыл бұрын
For 11, you can add, then subtract single digits in a number, and if the result is zero, or a multiple of 11, then 11 is a factor. Example: 10395 Break it into alternating positive, negative digits, left to right, then do the math: +1-0+3-9+5 = 0. Yes, 11 is a factor. 10395/11=945 The thing is, with divisibility rules for larger numbers, the rules get cumbersome and are more awkward than just pulling out your calc and trying it. I find them kind of brain-cluttering, the more convoluted they are. I don't generally give them brain-space. If I have to, I will refer to a note on this, but I retain the ones I am likely to use (2,3,5,7) For the GRE exam, are you not allowed a calculator? In the test prep for this, are you seeing questions where you are thrown a large number and required to state whether it is divisible by a particular prime, without a calculator or any working out paper? Do you know how to do short division? That will save you a ton of time on a question like this!
@firlim7 жыл бұрын
We have an on screen calculator and a scratch paper but we are advised to not use them and to do more mental maths because of the limited time for each question. I am at my first prep days and I'm not sure whether or not we'll have those type of question during the test but I am encountering three digits prime factorization questions in my prep book, so I am looking for shortcuts that can help me save time
@LetsDoMath7 жыл бұрын
3 digit prime factorization should be ok. Use whichever method you find easiest to extract primes. For myself, if I spot the value in my tables knowledge, I have an 'in', so I'll do a factor tree. If not, it's repeated short division. I ALWAYS go for the obvious small prime divisors first, and I use them till they are exhausted. Why divide by 13 if you don't have to? Check out the multiples of 13: 26 (div by 2), 39 (div by 3) 52 (div by 2), 65 (5), 78 (2), 91 is the first one you actually have to divide by 13. My advice on prime factorization is to have a crack at some for maybe half an hour, settle on your method and apply it rigorously. And do like I do...ALWAYS use those smallest primes first. I don't advise you to learn divisibility rules for 13, 17 or 19, as I expect you will chop down your number with smaller primes and then when you can't go any further, instead of doing a mathematical dance of convolution (and possibly mistake-making), when you get numbers that don't fit, you USE that on-screen calc and quickly try - is it divisible by 13? 17, 19, 23, 29? Seriously... don't get clutterbrain trying to cram this stuff. Use your noggin and time wisely and go for the fastest approach. Best, Ginny

Fantastic stuff! And if you like, you could go even faster!!! Here's how... Use the division strategy you learned here till you get a division answer (quotient) whose factors you know. For example let's say you end up with an answer to your division problem as 84. That's fabulous, because from your tables knowledge, you know you get 84 from 7 x 12. So the sprint-cut here is to jump out of division and into factor tree mode, right where you are on the page. Show that 84 as being from 7 x12, and 12 is from 2x6, 6 is from 2x3. Circle ALL the primes, just as every other prime factorization you've done. List them off in ascending order, or even better, using exponent notation, and you just aced it in double-quick time! NICE!!!

EXCELLENT! Now in this video, I'm using short division all the way down to 1. But in fact... you can go more swiftly, IF you want. Let's say you get a big number and you've whittled it down to 144. There's no reason to keep using the division method if you don't want. You know 144 is from 12x12, so you could just flick into factor tree mode if you want... and each 12 is from 3x4, and each 4 is from 2x2! Just make sure you DO circle all those primes at the end, and make sure you collect them ALL for your final statement. If you switch, once you hit a number whose factors you know, you can complete the prime factorization in seconds! Now I hope you do something REALLY cool with this knowledge and totally ACE ANY number your teacher gives you for prime factorization using this little flourish to finish off. How slick is THAT!? I'd LOVE to see your teacher's face, when they see your understanding demonstrated on the page like that!!

It was easy only because you choose a number with those prime factors, if a number, say 'x', is composite then it has at least one prime less then the square root of x, (x^1/2), so take for example 30623 if you tried to factor it, even supposing you knew divisibility test for a lot of primes like 13, 17, 19, 23... (i guess no one would learn divisibility for primes bigger than these) you would still not be able to factor the example that i gave you because you had to check all the primes up to 174, (in fact 30623 is actually 113*271) It's okay that you show a way to factor MOST 5 digit numbers, but a side note on why this doesn't always work would've made the video more useful for the viewers
@LetsDoMath6 жыл бұрын
This is an interesting comment. The process worked easily because I created the number by multiplying up my chosen primes, then I just chose my logical order to extract the primes. I think this is a reasonable thing to do, since at up to grade 8, I don't expect ANY teacher would give an example like the one you came up with. Please remember that this channel is about giving students the power and confidence to do the math, not about showing them that it could possibly be super-tricky and you may find it stumps you completely. They've had enough of that experience already, by the time they find me. The hardest school example I'd expect to be given would end up delivering a prime such as 41, or 59 (a prime under 100 in any case) at the end of the division sequence, and students would be expected to spot that as a prime, not know its divisibility rules. I only ever show what I feel is needed in a video to get students revved up to have a crack - none of my videos is about running to a certain time (my kids tell me 10 minutes is the magic KZbin earning length). Only what you need, and enough examples so I think students will get the approach and be ready to roll. Thanks for sending me your note. :o)

I answered this before I saw your comment, but I said basically the same thing. I don't think you'd ever be asked to factor a number like 30623 on a test, but it's good to know how. And it's a MASSIVE amount of work if you're doing it mentally. If you are allowed to use a calculator, it would be very easy because you could divide 30623 by 3, 7, 11, 13, and so on and simply see if the answer comes out even. You would have to have the primes memorized up to 173 in this case. If you didn't, then you'd have to divide by EVERY number ending in 1, 3, 7, or 9 (because those COULD be primes), and it would take longer.

Hello! Excellent Tutorial, but for numbers like 36661, the smallest factor is 61, and we are left with 601, which happens to be a prime, but using your rules would not be effective. Is there any way to look for these numbers?
@LetsDoMath5 жыл бұрын
Hi there, thanks for your note. This is the best method I know for pulling all the primes. I feel that for student use in school it is just what’s needed to work with larger numbers, however it does have limitations as you’ve discovered. This is where the art of the teacher comes in. In my view, teachers should come up with numbers that LOOK demanding, but are actually created through combining smaller primes, and only one prime above 17 and up to 97. The solution should be achievable, using this process. If a teacher is doling out numbers like you had that uses 61 and then leaves you with 601 at the end, the students will experience panic, math-sweats and a feeling of impossibility, followed by failure. What benefit does that have? I make numbers to break apart, by starting with smaller prime combinations, whose rules of divisibility kids can spot, then I tack on a x19 or x41 or something at the end. The point of that last... do they also spot it as prime? I am a very reasonable person. I don’t ask kids to do anything I’m not willing to do too. The number you had at the start... as soon as I hit a block where I couldn’t go any further, I’m not going to swear and struggle through it, I will use a computer and discover a nasty number was given in the first place. I think our job as teachers is to encourage and empower kids through learning, not demonstrate what they can’t do. I hope that helps you see my position on this. In formal exams I believe the values created for larger prime factorization are generated as I have described too. 😃😎😉💕

But you should do whatever feels comfortable to you, and as long as it works, and you and your teacher can understand it, it’s all good. 🤗😎🤩😉

Short division will get you there as I doubt they will give you really big numbers. But for speed, get it to where you recognize a value in your tables knowledge then switch to factor tree because it is quicker. Less marks on the page and more fluidity of the thinking.

@LetsDoMath5 жыл бұрын
Good question. You need to be able to see that a number is divisible by 2, by 3, and by 5. 7 will become obvious as you get the number down in size (you'll see a number in the 7x table). You also need to know your 11x table for the same reason. It's useful to know that 13x13=169. And that should be good for school use. 😃😎😊🤩

@@akshaydeogaonkar7120 This channel really deals in stuff up to the GCSE exam. The primes you mention, 29, 31, 41... those would all be left at the end of a prime factorization. You wouldn't learn multiples of 41... 2x41 is 82, divisible by 2. 2x31=62, 2x29=58. I expect people to take the easiest route to prime factorization, and that means using 2 as far as you can (for even numbers), and 5 if a number ends in a 0. Once a number has been knocked down in size, it becomes easier for students to spot a value from their 3x, 7x or 11x table knowledge. That's how I expect students at this stage to approach a prime factorization problem, using the least amount of memorization possible. I hope that answers your question.

@@LetsDoMath Thank you for your prompt replies... However, let me elaborate to you what my concern is actually... Consider the number 2209... Now, it's not a prime number as being square of 47... So, it has only three divisors i.e. 1, the number itself(2209) and 47... Hence, prime factorisation of 2209 can be expressed as... 2209 = 47 x 47 There is no number less than 47 is a divisor of 2209... In this case, we had to test divisibility for all numbers from 2 to 47 until we got divisor... However, it is too much time-consuming... So, I would love to know if there are any shortcut and optimum methods to factorise numbers like this?
@LetsDoMath5 жыл бұрын
@@akshaydeogaonkar7120 I don't know of a shortcut and guess and check is so time-consuming as you said. So... my honest answer? This question has no place in high school, or on a test of whether people can do a factorization or not. The second part to that is if we really DID have to solve this one, I'd do what any regular person would do, and that is to google 'find the prime factorization', enter my number and discover it that way. That's when you find out the teacher is pulling a superiority stunt. I don't think high school math should be a way for a teacher to prove how much smarter they are than a student. I think questions should provide reasonable opportunity to show whether someone can handle a method and get to a solution. If there is nothing you can spot as a divisor for a number to start a prime factorization then I absolutely think it's a reasonable response to google it. But any number I'd give for a prime factorization question would feature 2,3,5, 7, 11 and maybe ONE other higher prime (anything in the range under 100) to finish off. Given that a question is created with a mix of these primes, there's no reason to resort to Google, because there is always a way in that you can spot, IF you know your rules of division. ;o)

Hi there. Glad this vid helped you. Once you've got your head around this, you can speed up even more! When you hit a quotient that you know from you tables knowledge, you can flick into 'factor tree mode'. For example if I got an answer of 96, I know that's the product of 8x12, so instead of writing out another division - and now those are both compound numbers, not prime, now I switch to the tree and show 8 and 12. 8 is from 2 x4, 4 is from 2x2, and I circle those 3 twos. And on the 12 side, I can say 12 is from 2x6, 6 is from 2x3. Here I circle both 2s and a 3. And I can do all that in seconds, as can you. Much faster than continuing to divide by 2 a bunch of times. Cool!

One more easy trick If you see zeros then cut the number of zeros and add the 2^n*5^n in it's factor. See the below example to understand for ex:- 12500 then two factors will be (2^2)*(5*2) { 2 because there are two zeros} then it becomes 125 which is 5^3 . So all factors will be 2^2 * 5^5
@LetsDoMath4 жыл бұрын
You’re totally on the right lines. If you see a zero at the end, you know 2 and 5 are factors. However it’s always safest with a big number like 12,500 to actually go through the process. When you do the division and explore the number like I’m showing, you discover the prime factorization is 2x2x5x5x5x5x5. 🤗😃🤩💕

@LetsDoMath7 жыл бұрын
I have a set of films on divisibility rules which will help. They were designed to open the door to this understanding to grade 4 kids though, so they might seem a bit 'kiddy'. I think you are going to find that for the prime factorization you will do in school, your numbers will break down by 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. You attack your number through the most obvious divisor at every step of the way, like you saw me do: even number? Use 2. Ends in 5 or 0? Use 5. Can't spot a divisor? Try rule for 3. Quite quickly, as you see, you get to the point where you recognize the dividend in your tables knowledge, then you're good to finish. When 7 is needed there's a decent chance you can use your tables knowledge. The rule for 7 is messy. Look at your number in chunks of multiples of 7 to discover if 7 is a divisor. I have seen grade 6 kids get work that finished on a larger prime (43). I don't think any teacher will give you a problem that features repeated use of one like this though. Did you watch my film Finding Prime Numbers? Doing the sieve of Eratosthenes is a great idea, so you can understand what the primes up to 100 are. Very useful so you are not stuck wondering when you get down to a 2-digit prime at the end. I hope this helps you tons.

It's my pleasure! Once you've done a few like this, you'll be in the swing of the method. Then I want you to think about this as well; you can COMBINE methods! So when your teacher gives you a great big number, like I had here, chop it down to size using short division, then the moment you get to an answer you can solve instantly... for example 96, you just jump into 'factor tree mode'. Show that 96 is from 8 x12. 8 is from 2x4, 4 is from 2x2, and 12 is from 2x6, 6 is from 2 x3. Always remember to circle every prime, then just collect them all. This combined approach lets you finish the job quickly and effectively. Enjoy your mega-math power with this nifty strategy!

Sorry for late reply... This is a stinker. Not an example I would expect a teacher to give. First you divide by 2 and get 1333. You're stuck. So here's what I did: I searched up 'prime factor finder', picked a site and plugged it in. 2x31x43. Who the heck creates THAT number for a student? What's the lesson? The teacher knows more, or the teacher's a total meany-pants who wants the students to feel stuck and not able? My take on this: 2666 is not a number you should give to students in school, unless you want them hitting up the web for an answer. Problems are supposed to offer enough challenge to make you think, not be unmanageable, like this.

Which is the quickest to spot as the obvious divisor for 38115? 3 or 5? Obviously 5. There is zero need to go through the divisibility rule test for 3 at this point when it’s so obviously got 5 as a factor. If a teacher tells you that you have to FIND the factors and divide it up in ascending order of primes (can you understand what I mean here?) then that’s just not right. Why work harder than you have to? When there’s an obvious divisor I always choose that. You put the factors in ascending order at the very end, after all the calculations are done. Make your math life easy and intuitive. It’s easier to see the connections.

For the level I’m thinking of (GCSE and below), knowing the rules for 2,3 and 5 are enough. Students are expected to know their tables solidly so that an element from 7s or 11s is easy enough to spot. I would only expect a single bigger prime to occur, and that will be left at the end. I would not expect to see 17 and 23 occurring in the same prime factorization.
