Factors of 43

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 43, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 43?

The numbers that divide 43 evenly are known as factors of 43.

 

A factor of 43 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 43 are 1 and 43.

 

Negative factors of 43: -1 and -43.

 

Prime factors of 43: 43.

 

Prime factorization of 43: 43 (since 43 is a prime number).

 

The sum of factors of 43: 1 + 43 = 44

How to Find Factors of 43?

Factors can be found using different methods.

 

Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using division method
     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 43. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 43 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 43 by 1, 43 × 1 = 43.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 43 after multiplying.

 

Since 43 is a prime number, the only factor pairs are 1 and 43.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor. Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 43 are: (1, 43). 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Divide the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero, and list out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors.

 

Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 43 by 1, 43 ÷ 1 = 43.

 

Step 2: Attempt dividing 43 by numbers other than 1 and 43.

 

Since 43 is prime, no other divisions result in a whole number.

 

Therefore, the factors of 43 are: 1 and 43.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it 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 43 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1. However, since 43 is a prime number, it is already its own prime factor.

 

The prime factorization of 43 is: 43.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 43 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further using a factor tree. It stands alone as its own prime factor. So, the prime factorization of 43 is simply: 43.

 

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 43: (1, 43).

 

Negative factor pairs of 43: (-1, -43).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 43

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 43, 1 and 43 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 43 marbles and 1 jar. How will they divide them equally?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

All 43 marbles will go into the 1 jar.

Explanation

To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles by the number of jars. 43/1 = 43

Problem 2

A garden is circular, the radius of the garden is 1 meter, and the circumference is 43 meters. What is the diameter?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

43 meters.

Explanation

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula,

 

Circumference = π × diameter

 

Assuming π as 1 (for simplicity in this context), we use: 43 = 1 × diameter

 

Diameter = 43

Problem 3

There are 43 pieces of candy and 1 bowl. How many candies will be in each bowl?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

All 43 candies will be in the bowl.

Explanation

To find the candies in each bowl, divide the total candies by the number of bowls.

 

43/1 = 43
