Factorise 42 by division method

Factorization by Division method - in this method of factorization, the number is divide by the smallest prime number which divides the given number exactly. Then the quotient is again divided by the smallest or next smallest prime number and the process continues till the quotient gets undividable

$\dfrac{42}{2} = 21\\\\\dfrac{21}{3} = 7\\\\\dfrac{7}{1} = 7$

2 × 3 × 7 = 42

Therefore, the factors of 42 are 2 × 3 × 7
