Factors of 347

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 347, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 347?

The numbers that divide 347 evenly are known as factors of 347.

 

A factor of 347 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

Since 347 is a prime number, its only factors are 1 and 347.

 

Negative factors of 347: -1 and -347.

 

Prime factors of 347: 347 (since it is a prime number itself).

 

Prime factorization of 347: 347.

 

The sum of factors of 347: 1 + 347 = 348factors of 347

How to Find Factors of 347?

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 347. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 347 is the multiplication method. Since 347 is a prime number, the only multiplication that results in 347 is:

 

Step 1: Multiply 347 by 1, 347 × 1 = 347.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 347 is: (1, 347).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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

 

Step 1: Divide 347 by 1, 347 ÷ 1 = 347.

 

Step 2: Check for numbers until 347 to see if they divide without remainder.

 

Since 347 is a prime number, the only whole number factors are 1 and 347.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 347 is a prime number, it cannot be further factorized into other prime numbers.

 

The prime factors of 347 are 347 itself.

 

The prime factorization of 347 is: 347.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

 

However, since 347 is a prime number, it does not break down further.

 

The factor tree for 347 is simply 347 itself, as it cannot be divided by any other prime number.

 

So, the prime factorization of 347 is: 347.

 

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 pair of 347: (1, 347).

 

Negative factor pair of 347: (-1, -347).

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 347, 1 and 347 are the only factors.
