What are the Factors of 1973?

The numbers that divide 1973 evenly are known as factors of 1973.

 

A factor of 1973 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1973 are 1 and 1973 because 1973 is a prime number.

 

Negative factors of 1973: -1, -1973.

 

Prime factors of 1973: 1973.

 

Prime factorization of 1973: 1973 (as it is a prime number itself).

 

The sum of factors of 1973: 1 + 1973 = 1974

How to Find Factors of 1973?

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 1973. Since 1973 is a prime number, it only has two factor pairs: (1, 1973).

 

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1973 is: (1, 1973).

 

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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 1973 by 1, 1973 ÷ 1 = 1973.

 

Step 2: Check other numbers to see if they divide 1973 without a remainder.

 

Since 1973 is a prime number, it can only be divided evenly by 1 and itself.

 

Therefore, the factors of 1973 are: 1 and 1973.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. Since 1973 is a prime number, its only prime factor is itself. We can confirm this by attempting to divide 1973 by smaller prime numbers (such as 2, 3, 5, 7, etc.) and noting that none of them divide 1973 without a remainder. Therefore, the prime factorization of 1973 is simply 1973 itself, as it cannot be further broken down into other prime factors.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

A factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into its prime factors. For 1973, the factor tree is simple because 1973 is a prime number. Thus, the factor tree shows that 1973 does not branch further. So, the prime factorization of 1973 is: 1973.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1973

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1973, 1 and 1973 are also factors.
