What are the Factors of 463?

The number that divides 463 evenly is known as a factor of 463.

 

A factor of 463 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 463 are 1 and 463, because 463 is a prime number.

 

Negative factors of 463: -1 and -463.

 

Prime factors of 463: 463.

 

Prime factorization of 463: 463.

 

The sum of factors of 463: 1 + 463 = 464

How to Find Factors of 463?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using the division method

     
  • Prime factors and prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 463. Since 463 is a prime number, it only has trivial multiplication factors:

 

Step 1: Multiply 463 by 1, 463 × 1 = 463.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 463 are: (1, 463).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number by whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Since 463 is a prime number, it only divides evenly by 1 and itself:

 

Step 1: Divide 463 by 1, 463 ÷ 1 = 463.

 

Step 2: Try dividing 463 by other numbers, but they will not divide evenly.

 

Therefore, the factors of 463 are: 1 and 463.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing 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, because 463 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further.

The prime factor of 463 is 463 itself.

The prime factorization of 463 is: 463.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 463 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further using a factor tree. The prime factorization of 463 is: 463.

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 463: (1, 463).


Negative factor pairs of 463: (-1, -463).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 463

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

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

People might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 463, 1 and 463 are also factors.
