Prime Factorization Worksheets

Using these factor tree worksheets will help your child to:

• practice prime factorization of a range of numbers;
• solve problems involving prime factorization;
• use and understand exponential notation.

These sheets are aimed at students from 6th grade and upwards.

We also have a link to our Prime Factorization Calculator which will quickly and easily show you all the prime factors of any number.

To find out more about prime factorization, including how it works and to look at some worked examples, take a look at our prime factorization support page.

All the worksheets have answers provided. The answers are given with the factors in ascending order.

The sheets get gradually harder in each section.

We have split the sheets into 3 different sections:

• Our first section involves straightforward prime factorization of different numbers.
• Our next group of sheets involves solving prime factorization riddles.
• Our final group of sheets involves finding all possibilities in our prime factorization challenges.

• The two sheets just has straightforward prime factorization of a range of numbers.
• The third sheet is harder, and involves using exponential notation and looking at prime factorization from different starting points

These sheets involve solving prime factorization riddles.

There are 2 riddles on each sheet and 8 possible answers.

By correctly working out the clues in each riddle, all the incorrect answers are eliminated leaving just one correct answer.

Our prime factorization challenges are a great way to stretch more able students.

The challenges involve finding all possible numbers that have certain features involving prime factors.

This short video walkthrough shows several problems from our Prime Factorization Worksheet 3 being solved and has been produced by the West Explains Best math channel.

If you would like some support in solving the problems on this page, check out the video!

We have worksheets to help you understand more about factors and multiples.

They are aimed at a 4th/5th grade level.

Our prime factorization calculator will help you factor any number into a product of its prime factors.

It will show the answer in exponential form as well as standard form.

You can use this calculator to check that your prime factors in your factor trees are correct.

Using factor trees is a great visual way to understand prime factorization.

The worksheets on the link below are at an easier level to the sheets on this page and help children learn all about factor trees and prime factors.

As well as our calculator, we also have a range of greatest common factor worksheets.

These sheets have been designed for 6th and 7th grade students.

They will help students learn and practice finding the greatest common factor of numbers up to 100.

We have a range of worksheets on how to find the least common multiple of two or three numbers.

The sheets vary in difficulty, and are suitable for 6th grade and up.

The Sieve of Erastosthenes is a method for finding what is a prime numbers between 2 and any given number.

Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician (as well as being a poet, an astronomer and musician) who lived from about 276BC to 194BC.

If you want to find out more about his sieve for finding primes, and print out some Sieve of Eratosthenes worksheets, use the link below.

Take a look at our Prime Number page which clearly describes what a prime numbers is and what they are not.

There are also many different questions about prime numbers answered, as well as information about the density of primes.

We have a range of charts which can help you determine whether a number between 1 and 10 is a factor of a number.

Here you will find a range of printable mental math 6th grade quizzes for your child to enjoy.

Each worksheet tests the children on a range of math topics from number facts and mental arithmetic to geometry, fraction and measures questions.

A great way to revise topics, or use as a weekly math quiz!
