"Prime Factors" is the tenth episode of Star Trek: Voyager. This television episode is a science fiction story, set in the 24th century of the Star Trek universe about a spacecraft stranded on the other side of the Galaxy that must make its way back to Earth. The ship is led by Captain Kathryn Janeway who must manage a ragtag crew of Starfleet, Maquis, and aliens; the show aired on UPN between 1995 and 2001.

This teleplay was written by Greg Elliot and Michael Perricone, from a story written by David R. George III and Eric A. Stillwell, and directed by Les Landau.[1] This episode first aired on the United Paramount Network (UPN) on March 20, 1995.[1]

Voyager picks up a distress call and makes contact with a new world and its inhabitants.[2] In addition to major scenes with cast regulars such as Captain Janeway and Ensign Harry Kim, the crew encounters a variety of aliens with Ronald Guttman as Gath, Yvonne Suhor as Eudana, and Andrew Hill Newman as Jaret.[2] Voyager's crew including Martha Hackett as Seska and Josh Clark as Lieutenant Joe Carey also have some screentime.[2]
