How to Find the Factors of 973?

To find the factors of 973, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 973 without leaving any remainder.

• 973/139 = 7; therefore, 139 is a factor of 973 and 7 is also a factor of 973.
• 973/973 = 1; therefore, 973 is a factor of 973 and 1 is also a factor of 973.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 973 are 1, 7, 139, 973.

• Factors of 44 - The factors of 44 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
• Factors of 14 - The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, 14
• Factors of 23 - The factors of 23 are 1, 23
• Factors of 50 - The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The number 973 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 973. The first step is to divide the number 973 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 7. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 973 ÷ 7 = 139

Further dividing 139 by 7 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 139 by the next smallest prime factor. We stop ultimately if the next prime factor doesn't exist or when we can't divide any further.

So, the prime factorization of 973 can be written as 7¹ × 139¹ where 7, 139 are prime.

Pair factors of 973 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 973. The factors of 973 in pairs are:

• 1 × 973 = (1, 973)
• 7 × 139 = (7, 139)

Negative pair factors of 973 are:

• -1 × -973 = (-1, -973)
• -7 × -139 = (-7, -139)

NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.
