Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 373, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 373 evenly are known as factors of 373. A factor of 373 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 373 are 1 and 373, as it is a prime number.
Negative factors of 373: -1 and -373.
Prime factors of 373: 373 itself.
The sum of factors of 373: 1 + 373 = 374
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 373. Since 373 is a prime number, the only multiplication that gives 373 is:
Step 1: Multiply 373 by 1, 373 × 1 = 373. Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 373 are: (1, 373).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers 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 373 by 1, 373 ÷ 1 = 373.
Step 2: Check if any number other than 1 and 373 divides the number without a remainder.
Since 373 is a prime number, no other division results in a whole number except 1 and 373.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. Since 373 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further:
The prime factorization of 373 is: 373.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 373 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further using a factor tree.
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 373: (1, 373).
Negative factor pair of 373: (-1, -373).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 373 pages in a book. How can they be divided among 1 reader?
The reader will get all 373 pages.
Since there is only 1 reader, all 373 pages will be given to that reader.
373/1 = 373
A long track is 373 meters. If you run the track once, how many meters have you run?
You have run 373 meters.
Running the track once means covering the entire distance of 373 meters.
A box contains 373 marbles. If you put all of them in one jar, how many marbles will be in the jar?
The jar will contain 373 marbles.
Since all marbles are placed in one jar, the total number in the jar will be 373.
There are 373 students attending an event. If they sit in one large hall, how many students are in the hall?
There are 373 students in the hall.
As all students are in one hall, the total number of students in the hall is 373.
A library has 373 books. If all books are placed on one shelf, how many books are on the shelf?
The shelf contains 373 books.
Since all the books are on one shelf, the total number of books on the shelf is 373.
