Factors of 83

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 items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 83, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 83?

The numbers that divide 83 evenly are known as factors of 83. A factor of 83 is a number that divides the number without remainder. Since 83 is a prime number, its only factors are 1 and 83. Negative factors of 83: -1 and -83. Prime factors of 83: 83 (since it is a prime number). The sum of factors of 83: 1 + 83 = 84

How to Find Factors of 83?

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 83. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 83 is the multiplication method. Since 83 is a prime number, the only multiplication that works is: Step 1: Multiply 83 by 1, 83 × 1 = 83. Therefore, the positive factor pair of 83 is: (1, 83). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 83 by 1, 83 ÷ 1 = 83. Step 2: Since 83 is a prime number, it is not divisible by any other numbers except itself and 1. Therefore, the factors of 83 are: 1 and 83.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. Since 83 is a prime number, its prime factor is itself. Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 83 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 83 ÷ 83 = 1 The prime factor of 83 is 83. The prime factorization of 83 is: 83.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 83 is a prime number, the factor tree is simple: Step 1: 83 is already a prime number, so it cannot be divided further. The prime factorization of 83 is: 83. 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 83: (1, 83). Negative factor pair of 83: (-1, -83).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 83

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 83, 1 and 83 are also factors.
