Factors of 283

2. Steps to find factors of 283 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 283 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 283 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 283, which is 283. Divide 283 by 283 to obtain the quotient (1).
  283 ÷ 283 = 1
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1).

So, the prime factorization of 283 is, 283 = 283.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 283 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 283 is, 283 = 283.

3. Find factors of 283 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 283 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 283 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 283 in pairs:

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 283. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 283 would be ( -1 , -283 ) , .

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of factors

• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 283 x 0 = 0.
• Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
• Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 283 are exact divisors of 283.
• Factors of 283 are 1, 283. Each factor divides 283 without leaving a remainder.
