Negative factors of 191: -1 and -191.

Prime factors of 191: 191.

Prime factorization of 191: 191.

The sum of factors of 191: 1 + 191 = 192

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

1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using division method
3. Prime factors and Prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 191. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 191 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 191 by 1, 191 × 1 = 191.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 191 after multiplying. There are no other pairs of whole numbers, so the positive factor pair of 191 is: (1, 191). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Dividing the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as a whole number as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 191 by 1, 191 ÷ 1 = 191.

Step 2: Continue dividing 191 by other numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

191 ÷ 1 = 191

Since 191 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by other whole numbers without leaving a remainder. Therefore, the factors of 191 are: 1 and 191.

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 a factor tree

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 191 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

Since 191 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. The prime factors of 191 are 191. The prime factorization of 191 is: 191.

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

Step 1: Recognize that 191 is a prime number and cannot be broken down further. Thus, the prime factorization of 191 is: 191.

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 191: (1, 191).
• Negative factor pair of 191: (-1, -191).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 191 are 1 and 191.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 191 is a prime factor of itself.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pair of 191 is (1, 191).

• Prime number: A number that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. For example, 191 is a prime number.

• Division method: A method used to find factors by dividing the number by each integer up to its square root to check for divisibility.
