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.
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
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 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).
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.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers.
We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
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.
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).
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 43 marbles and 1 jar. How will they divide them equally?
All 43 marbles will go into the 1 jar.
To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles by the number of jars. 43/1 = 43
A garden is circular, the radius of the garden is 1 meter, and the circumference is 43 meters. What is the diameter?
43 meters.
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
There are 43 pieces of candy and 1 bowl. How many candies will be in each bowl?
All 43 candies will be in the bowl.
To find the candies in each bowl, divide the total candies by the number of bowls.
43/1 = 43
In a team, there are 43 players, and they all belong to one group. How many are in each subgroup?
There are 43 players in the group.
Dividing the players by the total groups, we get the number of players in each group.
43/1 = 43
43 books need to be placed on 1 shelf. How many books will go on the shelf?
All 43 books will go on the shelf.
Divide total books by shelves.
43/1 = 43
