How to Find Factors of 1493?

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 1493. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1493 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1493 by 1, 1493 × 1 = 1493.

 

There are no other pairs of numbers that multiply to give 1493.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1493 are: (1, 1493).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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

 

Step 1: Divide 1493 by 1, 1493 ÷ 1 = 1493.

 

Step 2: Check if 1493 can be divided by any other number without remainder.

 

Since 1493 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further without leaving a remainder.

 

Therefore, the factors of 1493 are: 1 and 1493.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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 factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, since 1493 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further into other prime factors.

 

Hence, 1493 is its own prime factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 1493 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further using a factor tree. So, the prime factorization of 1493 is: 1493.

 

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 pairs of 1493: (1, 1493).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1493: (-1, -1493).

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

 

For example, in factors of 1493, 1 and 1493 is also a factor.
