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

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1573. Since 1573 is a prime number, the only multiplication method to get it is:

Step 1: Multiply 1573 by 1, 1573 × 1 = 1573.

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1573 is: (1, 1573). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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

Step 1: Divide 1573 by 1, 1573 ÷ 1 = 1573.

Since 1573 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 1 and 1573.

The factors can be found by dividing 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, prime factors of 1573 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

Since 1573 is a prime number, the prime factorization of 1573 is: 1573.

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 1573 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. So, the prime factorization of 1573 is: 1573.

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 1573: (1, 1573).

• Negative factor pair of 1573: (-1, -1573).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1573 are 1 and 1573.

• Prime numbers: Numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. For example, 1573 is a prime number.

• Negative factors: When the factors are negative, for example, the negative factors of 1573 are -1 and -1573.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pair of 1573 is (1, 1573).

• Prime factorization: The process of determining the prime numbers that multiply together to give a certain original number. For 1573, it is already a prime number.
