What are the Factors of 93?

Factors of 93 Methods What are the Factors of 93? The following are the different types of factors of 93: • Factors of 93: 1, 3, 31, 93 • Sum of Factors of 93: 128 • Negative Factors of 93: -1, -3, -31, -93 • Prime Factors of 93: 3, 31 • Prime Factorization of 93: 3^1 × 31^1 There are two ways to find the factors of 93: using factor pairs, and using prime factorization. The Factor Pairs of 93 Factor pairs of 93 are any two numbers that, when multiplied together, equal 93. The question to ask is “what two numbers multiplied together equal 93?” Every factor can be paired with another factor, and multiplying the two will result in 93. To find the factor pairs of 93, follow these steps: Step 1: Find the smallest prime number that is larger than 1, and is a factor of 93. For reference, the first prime numbers to check are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. In this case, the smallest factor that’s a prime number larger than 1 is 3. Step 2: Divide 93 by the smallest prime factor, in this case, 3: 93 ÷ 3 = 31 3 and 31 will make a new factor pair. Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2, using 31 as the new focus. Find the smallest prime factor that isn’t 1, and divide 31 by that number. In this case, 31 is the new smallest prime factor: 31 ÷ 31 = 1 Remember that this new factor pair is only for the factors of 31, not 93. So, to finish the factor pair for 93, you’d multiply 3 and 31 before pairing with 1: 3 x 31 = 93 Step 4: Repeat this process until there are no longer any prime factors larger than one to divide by. At the end, you should have the full list of factor pairs. Here are all the factor pairs for 93: (1, 93), (3, 31) So, to list all the factors of 93: 1, 3, 31, 93 The negative factors of 93 would be: -1, -3, -31, -93 Prime Factorization of 93 To find the Prime factorization of 93, we break down all the factors of 93 until we are left with only prime factors. We then express n as a product of multiplying the prime factors together. The process of finding the prime factorization of 93 only has a few differences from the above method of finding the factors of 93. Instead of ensuring we find the right factor pairs, we continue to factor each step until we are left with only the list of smallest prime factors greater than 1. Here are the steps for finding the prime factorization of 93: Step 1: Find the smallest prime number that is larger than 1, and is a factor of 93. For reference, the first prime numbers to check are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. In this case, the smallest factor that’s a prime number larger than 1 is 3. Step 2: Divide 93 by the smallest prime factor, in this case, 3 93 ÷ 3 = 31 3 becomes the first number in our prime factorization. Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2, using 31 as the new focus. Find the smallest prime factor that isn’t 1, and divide 31 by that number. The smallest prime factor you pick for 31 will then be the next prime factor. If you keep repeating this process, there will be a point where there will be no more prime factors left, which leaves you with the prime factors for prime factorization. So, the unique prime factors of 93 are: 3, 31 Find the Factors of Other Numbers Practice your factoring skills by exploring how to factor other numbers, like the ones below: Factors of 112 - The factors of 112 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112 Factors of 110 - The factors of 110 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 55, 110 Factors of 86 - The factors of 86 are 1, 2, 43, 86 Factors of 13 - The factors of 13 are 1, 13
