Table listing the factors of 601

This breakdown helps in understanding the various factors of 601, whether they are positive or negative, as well as how prime factorization works for this number.

Factors of a number can be found by multiple methods, and they can be used to find the factors of 601.

Methods to find the factors of 601:

1. Multiplication Method
2. Division Method
3. Prime Factor and Prime Factorization
4. Factor Tree
    

The multiplication method finds the pair of factors that give 601 as their product.

Step 1: Find the pair of numbers whose product is 601.

Step 2: The factors are those numbers, when multiplied, give 601.

Step 3: Make a list of numbers whose product will be 601.

A list of numbers whose products are 601 is given below:

1 × 601 = 601

Thus, the factors of 601 are 1 and 601.
 

The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are given below:

Step 1: Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor.

Example: 601 ÷ 1 = 601

Step 2: Move to the next integer. The factors of the number include the number that is used to divide and the number of times the particular number is divided.

Thus, the factors of 601 are 1 and 601

Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. A number when it is simplified using the factors of that number and is expressed in the form of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number.

Prime Factors of 601: Number 601 has only one prime factor.

Prime factors of 601: 601

To find the prime factors of 601, we can divide 601 with the prime number 601.

Step 1: Divide 601 with the prime number 601

601 ÷ 601 = 1

Prime Factorization of 601: Prime Factorization breaks down the prime factors of 601

Expressed as 1 x 601

The prime factorization is visually represented using the factor tree. It helps to understand the process easily. In this factor tree, each branch splits into prime factors.

Since 601 is a prime number, its factor tree has just one branch with 601.

This tree shows the breakdown of 601 into its prime factors: 1 x 601.

Positive and Negative Factor Pairs of 601

Factors of 601 can be written in both positive pairs and negative pairs. They are like team members. Their product will be equal to the number given.

Positive Factor Pairs: (1, 601)

Negative Factor Pairs: (-1, -601)
 

• Factor: A number that divides another number completely without leaving a remainder. For example, the factors of 601 are 1 and 601.
• Prime Factorization: The process of expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. The prime factorization of 601 is 601 itself, as it is a prime number.
• Co-prime: Two numbers are co-prime if their greatest common factor (GCF) is 1. For example, 601 and 1 are co-prime because their GCF is 1.
• Prime Numbers: Numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. 601 is a prime number because its only factors are 1 and 601.
• Multiple: A number that can be obtained by multiplying a given number by an integer. 601 is not a multiple of 5, as it does not end in 0 or 5.
