Factors of 73

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Factors are the numbers that divide another number equally, without leaving any remainder. When you multiply two numbers to find another number, the two which are multiplied are factors. You can think of factors as the building blocks that will help you make numbers.

What are the factors of 73?

Factors are the numbers that help us divide things equally without any leftovers. 73 is a prime number as it has only two factors, i.e., 1 and 73. Let’s learn about the Factors of 73.

How to Find the Factors of 73

Factors help us divide numbers equally, making calculations faster and easier. We can find factors from the following methods:
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

In this method, we find pairs of numbers, which we multiply to get the desired number.


Example: 1×73=73, which means that 1 and 73 are the factors of 73.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors by Division Method

We divide 73 by numbers starting from 1 and see which number gives the remainder of 0.


73 ÷ 1=73


73 ÷  73=1


So the factors are 1 and 73.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The breaking down of numbers as prime factors is called prime factorization. The factors of 73 are:


73=1x73
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor tree

A factor tree shows how a number can be parted down into prime factors.73 is a prime number, so it has only one number, which is 73.

Problem 1

If x+1=73, find x.

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

x+1=73


Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides to solve for x:


x=73−1


x=72


By isolating x, we find that x=72. 
 

Explanation

The value of x is 72.

Problem 2

Find the LCM of 73 and 2.

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

Step 1: Check if there are any common factors between 73 and 2.


Since 73 is a prime number and does not share any factors with 2, the LCM is the product of the two numbers.


Step 2: Calculate the LCM:


LCM(73,2)=73×2


LCM=146
 

Explanation

The LCM of 73 and 2 is 146 because 73 is prime and does not share any factors with 2, so their LCM is simply their product.

Problem 3

Solve the system: x+y=74 x−y=72

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

Add both equations:


2x=146


x=73


Subtract the second equation from the first:


2y=2


y=1


So, the solution is x=73, y=1.
 

Explanation

 By adding and subtracting the given equations, we find the value of x and y, and we get, x=73 and y=1.
