1. Steps to find factors of 10001 using Division Method

Example: Find factors of 10001

  • Divide 10001 by 1: 10001 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 10001 by 73: 10001 ÷ 73 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 10001 by 137: 10001 ÷ 137 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 10001 by 10001: 10001 ÷ 10001 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 10001 are 1, 73, 137, and 10001

2. Steps to find factors of 10001 using Prime Factorization

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.

There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 10001 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 10001 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
  • Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 10001, which is 73. Divide 10001 by 73 to obtain the quotient (137).
    10001 ÷ 73 = 137
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (137).
    137 ÷ 137 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 10001 is, 10001 = 73 x 137.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 10001 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 10001 is, 10001 = 73 x 137.

3. Find factors of 10001 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 10001 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 10001 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 10001 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 10001 1 x 10001 = 10001
73 and 137 73 x 137 = 10001

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 10001. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 10001 would be ( -1 , -10001 ) , ( -73 , -137 ) .

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 73, 137, 10001 are exact divisors of 10001.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 10001 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 10001.
