Prime Numbers PDF

This document provides information about prime numbers and factorization for a 5th grade mathematics class. It defines prime and composite numbers, and describes two methods - factor trees and tables - for finding the prime factors of a given number. The objectives are to recognize prime and composite numbers, express numbers as products of prime factors, and develop critical thinking skills. Examples are provided to illustrate identifying prime numbers, prime factorization using factor trees and tables, and the prime factors of 12.

MATHEMATICS

Class 5 A/B
Teacher: Amna Fayyaz
PRIME NUMBERS
„ Students will be able to:
„ Recognize prime numbers and composite numbers
„ List all the prime factors of a given number
„ Find prime factors of numbers using the factor tree method
„ Find prime factors of numbers using the table method

OBJECTIVES
„ Identifying prime & composite numbers
„Expressing a number as a product of its
prime factors
„Critical thinking

SKILLS TO BE FOCUSED
ON:
„ Factors are the numbers that are multiplied together to find
other numbers.
„ For example, 6 × 5 = 30. In this example, 6 and 5 are
the factors of 30.
„ 1, 2, 3, 10, 15 and 30 would also be factors of 30.
„ 1 is factor of each number.
„ The number itself is also a factor of it.
„ Factors of any number can not be bigger than the number
itself.

FACTORS
„Allnumbers having exactly two factors –
one and the number itself. Such numbers
are called prime numbers.

PRIME NUMBERS
All numbers having more than two factors
are called composite numbers

COMPOSITE NUMBERS
Ø The only even prime number is 2 .All other even numbers can
divided by 2 so they are composite numbers

Ø If the sum of a numbers digit is multiple of 3 , that number can be


divided by 3 so that will be a composite number.
Ø Any number greater than 5 that ends with 5 or 0 can be divided
by 5 so all these numbers will be composite numbers.
Ø 0 and 1 neither considered as prime numbers, nor as composite
numbers.

HOW TO IDENTIFY A PRIME NUMBER?


„“Prime Factorization" is finding which prime
numbers multiply together to make the
original number.

PRIME FACTORIZATION
„ It is best to start working from the smallest prime
number, which is 2, so let's check: 12 ÷ 2 = 6, Yes, it
divided exactly by 2. We have taken the first step! But
6 is not a prime number, so we need to go further.
Let's try 2 again: 6 ÷ 2 = 3. Yes, that worked also. And
3 is a prime number, so we have the answer: 12 = 2 ×
2 × 3. As you can see, every factor is a prime number,

WHAT ARE THE PRIME FACTORS OF 12 ?


„There are two methods:
„Factor Tree method
„Table Method

METHOD FOR PRIME FACTORIZATION


12 Prime Factors of 12 are :
12 = 2 × 2 × 3

2 6

2 3

FACTOR TREE METHOD


2 108
Prime factorization of
2 54
108 = 2x2x3x3x3
3 27
3 9
3 3
1

TABLE METHOD

FOR MORE INFORMATION


„ Remember to:
„ identify
prime numbers as numbers which are divisible by one and
the number itself
„ identify
composite numbers as numbers that can be divided by
many numbers
„ identify the number one to be neither prime nor composite
„ use the factor tree method to calculate factors properly
„ use the table method to calculate factors properly
