Factors of 73

Factors are the numbers that help us divide things equally without any leftovers. 73 is a prime number as it has only two factors, i.e., 1 and 73. Let’s learn about the Factors of 73.
 

Factors help us divide numbers equally, making calculations faster and easier. We can find factors from the following methods:
 

In this method, we find pairs of numbers, which we multiply to get the desired number.

Example: 1×73=73, which means that 1 and 73 are the factors of 73.
 

We divide 73 by numbers starting from 1 and see which number gives the remainder of 0.

73 ÷ 1=73

73 ÷  73=1

So the factors are 1 and 73.
 

The breaking down of numbers as prime factors is called prime factorization. The factors of 73 are:

73=1x73
 

A factor tree shows how a number can be parted down into prime factors.73 is a prime number, so it has only one number, which is 73.
 

Positive and negative pairs:

A factor includes both positive numbers and negative numbers, Given below are the factors of 73:

Positive :(1,73)

Negative:(-1,-73)
 

• Prime Factorization: It is a process of splitting down a number into its factors. For example: 6= 3x 2.

• Divisibility: A number is said to be divisible by a certain number, when we divide a number it should give a whole number and not a decimal.

• Even number: A number that when divided by 2 gives a whole number.
