What are the Factors of 1603?

The numbers that divide 1603 evenly are known as factors of 1603.

 

A factor of 1603 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1603 are 1 and 1603.

 

Negative factors of 1603: -1 and -1603.

 

Prime factors of 1603: 1603 is a prime number itself.

 

Prime factorization of 1603: 1603 is a prime number, so it cannot be broken down into other factors.

How to Find Factors of 1603?

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 1603.

Since 1603 is a prime number, the only multiplication that results in 1603 is 1 × 1603.

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1603 is: (1, 1603).

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 a simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 1603 by 1, 1603 ÷ 1 = 1603.

 

Step 2: Check if 1603 can be divided evenly by any other number up to its square root.

Since 1603 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 1 and itself.

Therefore, the factors of 1603 are: 1 and 1603.

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: In this process, since 1603 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further into other prime factors.

The prime factorization of 1603 is simply 1603.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

However, since 1603 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further using a factor tree.

Therefore, the prime factorization of 1603 is simply 1603.

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

People might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1603, 1 and 1603 are factors.

Problem 1

In a library of 1603 books, how many different ways can the books be divided evenly?

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

There are only two ways; each book by itself or all books together.

Explanation

1603 is a prime number, so it only has two factors: 1 and 1603. Thus, it can be divided evenly either by 1 or by 1603.

Problem 2

A concert has 1603 tickets. If they are to be distributed evenly among participants, how many participants can there be?

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

There can only be 1 or 1603 participants.

Explanation

Because 1603 is a prime number, it can only be divided evenly by 1 or itself.

Problem 3

A garden with 1603 flowers needs to be arranged in rows. How many rows can be formed if all rows must have an equal number of flowers?

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

You can form either 1 row or 1603 rows.

Explanation

Since 1603 is a prime number, the number of equal rows that can be formed is either 1 or 1603.
