To list: The factors (all) of given integer.

Answer to Problem 18WE

The factors of integer 83 are 1 and 83 or -1 and -83.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given integer is 83

Formula used:

The factors of an integer z are the prime numbers $p_1,p_2,p_3\dots$ , such that $z=p_1,p_2,p_3\dots$ .

Calculations:

The given integer is 83.

In factor form the integer 83 can be written as

  $83=1\times 83$

Integer 83 is prime number. So its factors are 1 and 83 itself.

The factors or prime factors of integer 83 are 1 and 83 or -1 and -83
