Negative factors of 653: -1, -653.

Prime factors of 653: 653 (since it is a prime number).

Prime factorization of 653: Itself, as it is a prime number.

The sum of factors of 653: 1 + 653 = 654

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using division method
3. Prime factors and Prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 653. Identifying numbers that are multiplied to get the number 653 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 653 by 1, 653 × 1 = 653.

Since 653 is a prime number, no other multiplication pairs exist apart from (1, 653). Therefore, the positive factor pair of 653 is: (1, 653). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Dividing the given numbers with 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 653 by 1, 653 ÷ 1 = 653.

Confirm that no other divisions result in a whole number without a remainder. Therefore, the factors of 653 are: 1, 653.

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: Since 653 is a prime number, it does not have any prime factors other than itself. The prime factorization of 653 is simply 653.

The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 653 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. The prime factorization of 653 is simply 653.

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 653: (1, 653).
• Negative factor pair of 653: (-1, -653).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 653 are 1 and 653.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 653 itself is the prime factor of 653.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pair of 653 is (1, 653).

• Prime number: A number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. For example, 653.

• Division method: A method to find factors by dividing the number by integers to see if the quotient is a whole number.
