How to Find Factors of 1543?

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

 

  1. Finding factors using multiplication 
  2. Finding factors using division method 
  3. Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication for a prime number like 1543, we identify that it has only two factor pairs: 1 and itself. Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1543 are: (1, 1543). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number by whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero helps in identifying the factors.

 

For 1543: 

 

1543 ÷ 1 = 1543 

 

1543 ÷ 1543 = 1

 

Therefore, the factors of 1543 are: 1 and 1543.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. For 1543, since it is a prime number, it only has itself as a prime factor. The prime factorization of 1543 is 1543.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

A factor tree is not applicable for 1543 since it is a prime number and does not break down into other prime factors.

 

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 pairs of 1543: (1, 1543) 

 

  • Negative factor pairs of 1543: (-1, -1543)
