What are the Factors of 1631?

The numbers that divide 1631 evenly are known as factors of 1631.

 

A factor of 1631 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1631 are 1, 19, 61, 323, 1631.

 

Negative factors of 1631: -1, -19, -61, -323, -1631.

 

Prime factors of 1631: 19 and 61.

 

Prime factorization of 1631: 19 × 61.

 

The sum of factors of 1631: 1 + 19 + 61 + 323 + 1631 = 2035

How to Find Factors of 1631?

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 1631. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1631 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1631 by 1, 1631 × 1 = 1631.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1631 after multiplying 19 × 61 = 1631 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1631 are: (1, 1631), (19, 61). All these factor pairs result in 1631.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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

 

Step 1: Divide 1631 by 1, 1631 ÷ 1 = 1631.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1631 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1631 ÷ 1 = 1631

1631 ÷ 19 = 61

 

Therefore, the factors of 1631 are: 1, 19, 61, 323, 1631.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
     
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1631 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1631 ÷ 19 = 61

61 ÷ 61 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1631 are 19 and 61.

 

The prime factorization of 1631 is: 19 × 61.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows

 

Step 1: Firstly, 1631 is divided by 19 to get 61.

 

Step 2: Now divide 61 by 61 to get 1. Here, 61 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1631 is: 19 × 61.

 

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 1631: (1, 1631), (19, 61).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1631: (-1, -1631), (-19, -61).

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

 

For example, in factors of 1631, 1 and 1631 are also factors.
