Factors of 301

Let's find the factors of 301 ! We are finding all numbers that go into 301 evenly when we look for the factors of a number.
 

We can apply various methods to find the factors of a number. Use one you can understand simply. 

Look for two numbers, the multiplication of which yields 301.

The pairs formed are considered as factors of 301. 

301 is a composite number

The factor pairs of 301 are;

Positive factor pairs — (1,301) (7,43) 

Negative factor pairs — (-1,-301) (-43,-13)
 

• Start by dividing 301 with the smallest number 1, and look at the remainders.

• Should satisfy the condition → Quotient×Remainder = 301 

• The factors of 301 are 1,7,43,301 and -1,-7,-43,-301.
   

Prime factors of 301: 7,43

The prime factorization of 301= 7×43

Factors of 301 are 1,7,43,301 and -1,-7,-43,-301.
 

We make branches in the factor tree method that extends from the number to express it as the product of its factors. 

The branches extend as → 301= 7×43 — the factorization ends here, the number 43 is prime. 
 

• Factors: numbers that divide the given number without remainder prime factorization: breaking numbers down into their prime factors.

• Prime factors: Numbers with two factors 

• Composite number: numbers with multiple factors (more than two)
