Factors of 373

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 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.

What are the Factors of 373?

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 = 374factors of 373

How to Find Factors of 373?

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 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.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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).

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 the factors for any given number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 373, 1 and 373 are factors.
