How to Find Factors of 1597?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using division method
     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1597.

Since 1597 is a prime number, it only has itself and 1 as its factors, which is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1597 by 1, 1597 × 1 = 1597.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1597 is: (1, 1597).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor pair as well.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1597 by 1, 1597 ÷ 1 = 1597.

 

Step 2: Since 1597 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by any other number without leaving a remainder.

 

Therefore, the factors of 1597 are: 1 and 1597.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
     
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, since 1597 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 1 and itself.

 

The prime factor of 1597 is 1597.

 

The prime factorization of 1597 is: 1597.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors.

However, since 1597 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. So, the prime factorization of 1597 is: 1597.

 

Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs.

 

Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

 

Positive factor pair of 1597: (1, 1597).

 

Negative factor pair of 1597: (-1, -1597).
