What are the Factors of 977?

The numbers that divide 977 evenly are known as factors of 977.

 

A factor of 977 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 977 are 1 and 977.

 

Negative factors of 977: -1 and -977.

 

Prime factors of 977: 977 (as 977 is a prime number).

 

Prime factorization of 977: 977.

 

The sum of factors of 977: 1 + 977 = 978

How to Find Factors of 977?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 977. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 977 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 977 by 1, 977 × 1 = 977. Since 977 is a prime number, no other pairs of numbers multiply to give 977 except (1, 977).

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 977 are: (1, 977).

 

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 977 by 1, 977 ÷ 1 = 977. Since 977 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by any other number without leaving a remainder. Therefore, the factors of 977 are: 1 and 977.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
     
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 977 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. Since 977 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. The prime factorization of 977 is: 977.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 977 is a prime number, it cannot be further divided into smaller prime factors. So, the prime factorization of 977 is simply 977.

 

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 977: (1, 977).

 

Negative factor pairs of 977: (-1, -977).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 977

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 977, 1 and 977 are also factors.
