Números Primos
Números primos são os números divisiveis somente por 1 e eles
mesmos.
19 é um número primo porque eu somente posso dividí–lo por 1 e 19.
Portanto, os fatores primos de 19 são 1 e 19 porque 1 x 19 = 19
Os números primos até 100 estão no próximo slide.

Factor Tree
One way to find prime factors, especially for smaller numbers, and
numbers recognised from times tables, is to draw a tree diagram.
1. Start with your number:
48 2. Recognise 8 x 6
3. Split 8 and 6 into their factors.
8 6 4. 2 and 3 are prime factors, but 4 is not.
5. Split 4 into 2 more factors.
6. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48 or
4 2 3 2
2 2

Divide by Prime Number
Another method, which can work well with larger numbers is to
divide by the prime numbers from smaller to larger in turn.
