What are the Factors of 953?

The numbers that divide 953 evenly are known as factors of 953.

 

A factor of 953 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 953 are 1, 953.

 

Negative factors of 953: -1, -953.

 

Prime factors of 953: 953 (since 953 is a prime number).

 

Prime factorization of 953: 953.

 

The sum of factors of 953: 1 + 953 = 954

How to Find Factors of 953?

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 953. Since 953 is a prime number, it only has the multiplication pair:

 

Step 1: Multiply 953 by 1, 953 × 1 = 953.

 

Therefore, the factor pair of 953 is: (1, 953).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number 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 the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 953 by 1, 953 ÷ 1 = 953.

 

Step 2: Check for divisibility by other numbers.

 

Since 953 is prime, no other numbers divide it evenly.

 

Therefore, the factors of 953 are: 1, 953.

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: As 953 is a prime number, it only has itself as a prime factor.

 

The prime factorization of 953 is: 953.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors.

 

Since 953 is already a prime number, the factor tree is simple: 953 is a prime number and cannot be broken down further.

 

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 953: (1, 953).

 

Negative factor pair of 953: (-1, -953).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 953

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

For example, in factors of 953, 1 and 953 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 953 apples shared among 953 people. How many apples does each person get?

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

Each person gets 1 apple.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of people.

953/953 = 1

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 953 meters and an area of 953 square meters. What is the width?

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

1 meter.

Explanation

To find the width of the plot, we use the formula,

Area = length × width

953 = 953 × width

To find the value of width, divide the area by the length.

953/953 = width

Width = 1.

Problem 3

A marathon has 953 participants, and each participant gets a medal. How many medals are distributed?

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

953 medals are distributed.

Explanation

The number of medals distributed equals the number of participants.

Therefore, 953 medals are distributed.

Problem 4

A library has 953 books, and they are to be distributed equally among 953 students. How many books does each student get?

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

Each student gets 1 book.

Explanation

To find the number of books each student gets, divide the total books by the number of students.

953/953 = 1

Problem 5

953 identical chairs are arranged in 1 row. How many chairs are in each row?

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

There are 953 chairs in each row.

Explanation

As there is only 1 row, the number of chairs in each row is the total number of chairs.

Therefore, 953 chairs are in each row.
