s of 234 are these: {2, 3, 13}.
-234. It has a half-life of 246,000 years, the third-longest of a uranium isotope following U-238
and U-235
. In nature, U-234 is the product of the decay of U-238
. U-238 decays by the emission of an alpha particle, becoming the short-lived isotope thorium
-234. This quickly decays by successive emission of two beta particles to become U-234.

The prime factor
Prime factor
In number theory, the prime factors of a positive integer are the prime numbers that divide that integer exactly, without leaving a remainder. The process of finding these numbers is called integer factorization, or prime factorization. A prime factor can be visualized by understanding Euclid's...
