Factors of 1289
Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1289, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1289?
The numbers that divide 1289 evenly are known as factors of 1289.
A factor of 1289 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1289 are 1 and 1289, as 1289 is a prime number.
Negative factors of 1289: -1 and -1289.
Prime factors of 1289: 1289.
Prime factorization of 1289: 1289 (as it is prime, it is only divisible by itself and 1).
The sum of factors of 1289: 1 + 1289 = 1290
How to Find Factors of 1289?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
- Finding factors using multiplication
- Finding factors using the division method
- Prime factors and Prime factorization
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1289. Since 1289 is a prime number, it can only be expressed as a multiplication of 1 and itself.
Step 1: Multiply 1289 by 1, 1289 × 1 = 1289.
Therefore, the only positive factor pair of 1289 is: (1, 1289).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:
Step 1: Divide 1289 by 1, 1289 ÷ 1 = 1289.
1289 is only divisible by 1 and itself, so the factors of 1289 are: 1 and 1289.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
- Using prime factorization
- Using factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1289 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
Since 1289 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 1 and itself.
The prime factorization of 1289 is: 1289.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. For 1289, as it is a prime number, the factor tree would simply show: 1289 As 1289 is prime, it cannot be broken down further.
So, the prime factorization of 1289 is: 1289.
Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs.
Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
Positive factor pair of 1289: (1, 1289).
Negative factor pair of 1289: (-1, -1289).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1289
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 as a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1289, 1 and 1289 are also factors.
Factors of 1289 Examples
Problem 1
There are 1289 apples. How can they be divided equally among 1 person?
The person will get 1289 apples.
Explanation
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of people.
1289/1 = 1289
Problem 2
A banner is 1289 meters long and needs to be held by people standing 1 meter apart. How many people are needed?
1289 people.
Explanation
To find the number of people needed, divide the total length by the distance each person stands apart.
1289/1 = 1289
Problem 3
A bakery has 1289 cupcakes and wants to pack them in boxes with 1 cupcake each. How many boxes are needed?
1289 boxes.
Explanation
To find the number of boxes needed, divide the total cupcakes by the number of cupcakes per box.
1289/1 = 1289
Problem 4
A city has 1289 streetlights, and each street can have exactly 1 streetlight. How many streets can be lit?
1289 streets.
Explanation
Dividing the streetlights by the number of lights per street gives the number of streets that can be lit.
1289/1 = 1289
Problem 5
1289 books need to be arranged with 1 book per shelf. How many shelves are needed?
1289 shelves.
Explanation
Divide the total books by the number of books per shelf.
1289/1 = 1289
