Prime Factorisation
अभाज्य गुणनखंडन
In Class 10 Mathematics, under the Real Numbers chapter, Prime Factorisation teaches students to express a composite number as a product of prime numbers. Students practise identifying prime factors and writing factorisations using multiplication and exponents. This foundational skill supports the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic and later work with HCF and LCM.

Which option contains only prime factors?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: In final prime factorisation, every factor must be prime. Step 2: 2, 3, 7, and 11 are all prime. Step 3: 6, 21, and 33 are composite, so they cannot remain in final form.
View question detailsWhich option is not a final prime factorisation?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Final prime factorisation must not contain a composite factor. Step 2: 6 is composite, so (6\times5^2) is not final form. Step 3: Change 6 into (2\times3).
View question detailsWhat is the prime factorisation of 256?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Divide 256 repeatedly by 2. Step 2: Eight factors of 2 give (256=2^8). Step 3: 4 and 16 are composite, so do not write them in final prime form.
View question detailsWhat is the prime factorisation of 243?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Divide 243 repeatedly by 3. Step 2: Five factors of 3 give (243=3^5). Step 3: 9 and 27 are composite, so keep prime base 3.
View question detailsWhat is the prime factorisation of 169?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: 169 is a square number. Step 2: (169=13\times13=13^2). Step 3: Since 13 is prime, (13^2) is the correct prime factorisation.
View question detailsWhich is the prime factorisation of 289?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: (289=17\times17). Step 2: Since 17 is prime, (289=17^2). Step 3: In a square number, the same prime appears twice.
View question detailsWhat is the prime factorisation of 512?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Divide 512 repeatedly by 2. Step 2: Nine factors of 2 give (512=2^9). Step 3: 8, 16, and 32 are composite, so write the power of 2 in final prime form.
View question detailsWhich is the prime factorisation of 625?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: (625) can be written as (25\times25). Step 2: (25=5^2), so (625=5^4). Step 3: 25 is composite, so write the power of 5 in final form.
View question detailsWhat is the prime factorisation of 216?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Write (216=8\times27). Step 2: (8=2^3) and (27=3^3), so (216=2^3\times3^3). Step 3: 6, 8, and 27 are composite, so write prime bases in final form.
View question detailsWhat is the prime factorisation of 128?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Divide 128 repeatedly by 2. Step 2: Seven factors of 2 give (128=2^7). Step 3: 4, 8, and 16 are composite, so write (2^7) in final form.
View question detailsWhich is the prime factorisation of 540?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Write (540=54\times10). Step 2: (54=2\times3^3) and (10=2\times5), so (540=2^2\times3^3\times5). Step 3: Break 54 completely into prime form.
View question detailsWhat is the correct prime factorisation of 588?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Write (588=12\times49). Step 2: (12=2^2\times3) and (49=7^2), so (588=2^2\times3\times7^2). Step 3: Convert 12 and 49 into prime powers.
View question detailsWhich is the prime factorisation of 660?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Write (660=66\times10). Step 2: (66=2\times3\times11) and (10=2\times5), so (660=2^2\times3\times5\times11). Step 3: Since 2 appears twice, write (2^2).
View question detailsIf the prime factorisation of a number is (2^2\times3\times11), which number is it?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Calculate (2^2=4). Step 2: (4\times3\times11=132). Step 3: Multiply all factors to get the number from prime factorisation.
View question detailsIf the prime factorisation of a number is (3^2\times5^2), which number is it?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Calculate (3^2=9) and (5^2=25). Step 2: (9\times25=225). Step 3: Simplify powers first and then multiply.
View question detailsWhich number has prime factorisation (2\times3\times5\times7)?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: All prime factors are given. Step 2: (2\times3\times5\times7=210). Step 3: When no power is written, each prime is taken once.
View question detailsWhich number has prime factorisation (2^2\times3^2\times7)?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Calculate (2^2=4) and (3^2=9). Step 2: (4\times9\times7=252). Step 3: Evaluate prime powers and then multiply.
View question detailsIf the prime factorisation of a number is (2^4\times5^2), which number is it?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Calculate (2^4=16) and (5^2=25). Step 2: (16\times25=400). Step 3: Finding powers first makes the calculation easier.
View question detailsWhy is 1 not written as a final prime factor during prime factorisation?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: A prime number has exactly two factors. Step 2: 1 has only one factor, so 1 is not prime. Step 3: Do not write 1 as a final factor in prime factorisation.
