Factors of 2023

Q: Is 2023 a prime number?

Prime numbers are the one which has only two factors 1 and itself. But 2023 has factors more than only 1 and 2023. The factors are: 1,7,17,119,289,2023. Thus, it is proved that 2023 is a composite number.

Q: Does 23 have 2 factors?

Check out factors of 23 by the above methods explained, hence, we can see that 23 has 1 and 23 as its only factors. Thus, 23 has only two factors.

Q: Is 23 a multiple of 3?

Let us check if 23 is a multiple of 3. We can test this by dividing 23 by 3, and see if it leaves a remainder other than 0. On dividing 23 by 3, we get a remainder 2. Hence, 23 is not a multiple of 3.

Factors of any number are the dividers or multipliers that can divide the number fully and can be multiplied together to produce the given product, 2023. Do you know, factors form the basic approach to solve some general mathematical procedures? This article will give you the insights of factors of 2023.

What are the Factors of 2023?

The factors of 2023 or the numbers which divide 2023 exactly are:

1,7,17,119,289, and 2023.

Negative factors of 2023: -1,-7,-17,-119,-289,-2023.

Prime factors of 2023: 7,17

Prime factorization of 2023: 7×17²

The sum of factors of 2023: 1+7+17+119+289+2023= 2456

How to Find the Factors of 2023

For finding factors of 2023, we will be learning these below-mentioned methods:

Methods to Find the Factors of 2023

Multiplication Method
Division Method
Prime Factor and Prime Factorization
Factor Tree

Finding Factors using Multiplication

This particular method often finds the pair of factors which, on multiplication together, produces 2023. Let us find the pairs which, on multiplication, yields 2023.

1×2023=2023
7×289=2023
17×119=2023

So, factors of 2023 are: 1,7,17,119,289, and 2023.

Finding Factors using Division Method

The division method finds the factors that evenly divides the given number 2023. In this process, we have to divide 2023 by all possible natural numbers less than 2023 and check.

1,7,17,119,289, and 2023 are the only factors that the number 2023 has. So to verify the factors of 2023 using the division method, we just need to divide 2023 by each factor.

2023/1 =2023
2023/7=289
2023/17=119
2023/119=17
2023/289=7
2023/2023=1

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 2023 into a product of its prime integers.

Prime Factors of 2023: 7,17.

Prime Factorization of 2023: 7×17²

Factor tree

The number 2023 is written on top and two branches are extended.

Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 2023.

Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number).

The first two branches of the factor tree of 2023 are 7 and 289, then proceeding to 289, we get 17 in both the branches. So, now the factor tree for 2023 is achieved.

Factor Pairs

Positive pair factors: (1,2023), (7,289), (17,119).
Negative pair factors: (-1,-2023), (-7,-289), (-17,-119)
