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.
Factors are the numbers that help us divide things equally without any leftovers. Factors of 193 are 1 and 193, as 193 is a prime number. The number has both positive and negative integers that divide 193 without leaving any remainder.
Factors help us divide numbers equally, making calculations faster and easier. Given below are the methods used to find factors:
In this method, we take two numbers and find the product of those two numbers to get the required number.
Example:
1×193=193, which means that 1 and 193 are the factors of 193.
We divide 193 by numbers starting from 1 and see which number gives the remainder of 0.
193 1=193
193 193=1
So the factors are 1 and 193.
The breaking down of numbers as prime factors is called prime factorization. As 193 is a prime number, it can have only two factors. So, it cannot be divided into smaller parts.
A factor tree shows how a number can be parted down into prime factors.193 is broken down into two factors, 1 and 193.
The factors of a number will have both the positive and negative numbers:
Positive :(1,193)
Negative:(-1,-193)
