Factors Of 163
A number that can divide another number evenly without leaving any remainder is called a factor. Factors are useful in many real-life situations, such as construction, where it is used to determine the dimensions of materials to avoid waste. Next, let's discuss the factors of 163.
What are the Factors of 163?
Prime numbers can have just two factors, which are 1 and the number itself. Composite numbers have more than two factors. Now, let us learn more about the factors of 163.
Negative factors of 163: -1 and -163
Prime factor of 163: 163
Prime factorization of 163: 163
The sum of factors of 163: 1 + 163 = 164
How to Find the Factors of 163?
For finding factors, school kids use different methods for easy calculation. A few commonly used methods are as follows:
- Use of Multiplication Method
- Use of Division Method
- Use of Prime Factors and Prime Factorization.
So, here we discuss a detailed explanation of the following methods:
Finding Factors Using Multiplication Method
So in the multiplication method, we will try to find out what numbers will multiply together, and give us the value 163. We will check the factors step by step:
Step 1: Start to multiply with numbers, which gives the value of 163.
Start with 1, and continue to multiply with other numbers.
1 × 163= 163
Step 2: After the calculation, we get these numbers, the factors of 163.
Step 3: The positive factor pairs of 163 found through multiplication are (-1, -163) Step 4: The negative factor pairs of 163 are (-1, -163)
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Using this method we will break down the given number till our remainder is zero. Let us go through the step-by-step process to find the factors of 163:
Step 1: Divide 163 by smaller numbers and see if there is any remainder. E.g., 163/1 = 163.
Step 2: We will continue in the same way and check for other numbers as well. For 163, the factors are 1 and 163. Because 163 can be divided evenly by 1 and 163.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
The prime factors of 163 are 1 and 163. The prime factors can be found using the methods given below:
Prime Factorization
Factor Tree
By Using Prime Factorization: When using this method, the number is divided by its prime numbers until it is factored completely by l
163 has a prime number, which can be divisible by 1 and the number itself.
163 ÷ 1 =163
The prime factorization of 163 is : 163.
Finally, using the prime factorization method, the prime factor of 163 is 163.
Using Factor Tree:
A factor tree is a visual representation of breaking a number into its prime factors. It is an easy and simple way to present the factors.
Step 1: 163 divided by 1 gives us the answer 163.
Step 2: Since 163 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further.
The prime factorization of 163 is written below :
163 = 1 × 163.
Factor Pairs Of 163
Every number has either a positive or negative factor. Let us look at those sets of factors.
Positive pair Factors: (1, 163)
Negative pair Factors: (-1, -163)
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them While Solving Factors Of 163
Children tend to make mistakes while finding the factors of a number. Let us look at how to avoid those mistakes.
Mistake 1
Confusing Factors with Multiples
The factors can divide a number exactly, whereas multiples are the product of multiplying the number by whole numbers. For example for 12, the factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. And the multiples are 12, 24, and 36, etc… To avoid this confusion, always understand the concept separately.
Factors Of 163 Examples
Problem 1
You have a pack of 160 pencils and want to share them equally among your two friends. How many pencils will each friend get?
Each friend will get 80 pencils.
Explanation
To divide 160 pencils equally among two friends, divide the total number of pencils by 2 (total number of friends).
Total number of pencils = 160
Number of friends = 2
160÷ 2 = 80
Therefore, Each friend will receive 80 pencils.
Problem 2
Liam has 163 pens and wants to distribute them equally among friends, without any leftovers. What are his options?
The options are 1 and 163.
Explanation
Here, Liam has two possible solutions :
He can give 1 pen to each of his 163 friends.
He can give all 163 pens to a single friend.
Problem 3
What is the GCF of 163 and 165?
Common factors of 163 and 165 = 1
Explanation
The GCF is the greatest common factor of both numbers 163 and 165, which is 1. The following steps help to calculate the GCF;
Factors of 163 and 165.
Factors of 163 = 1 and 163
Factors of 165 = 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 33, 55, and 165.
Common factors of 163 and 165 = 1.
