Prime factorization of 1292: 2² × 17 × 19.
The sum of factors of 1292: 1 + 2 + 4 + 17 + 19 + 34 + 38 + 68 + 323 + 646 + 1292 = 2444
How to Find Factors of 1292?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
- Finding factors using multiplication
- Finding factors using 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 1292. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1292 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1292 by 1, 1292 × 1 = 1292.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1292 after multiplying
2 × 646 = 1292
4 × 323 = 1292
17 × 76 = 1292
19 × 68 = 1292
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1292 are: (1, 1292), (2, 646), (4, 323), (17, 76), and (19, 68).
All these factor pairs result in 1292.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers with the 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 1292 by 1, 1292 ÷ 1 = 1292.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1292 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1292 ÷ 1 = 1292
1292 ÷ 2 = 646
1292 ÷ 4 = 323
1292 ÷ 17 = 76
1292 ÷ 19 = 68
Therefore, the factors of 1292 are: 1, 2, 4, 17, 19, 34, 38, 68, 323, 646, 1292.
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 1292 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1292 ÷ 2 = 646
646 ÷ 2 = 323
323 ÷ 17 = 19
19 ÷ 19 = 1
The prime factors of 1292 are 2, 17, and 19.
The prime factorization of 1292 is: 2² × 17 × 19.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1292 is divided by 2 to get 646.
Step 2: Now divide 646 by 2 to get 323.
Step 3: Then divide 323 by 17 to get 19.
Step 4: Divide 19 by 19 to get 1. Here, 19 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1292 is: 2² × 17 × 19.
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 pairs of 1292: (1, 1292), (2, 646), (4, 323), (17, 76), and (19, 68).
Negative factor pairs of 1292: (-1, -1292), (-2, -646), (-4, -323), (-17, -76), and (-19, -68).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1292
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 is a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1292, 1 and 1292 are also factors.
Factors of 1292 Examples
Problem 1
There are 323 chairs and 4 rows. How will they arrange them equally in each row?
They will have 80.75 chairs in each row, which is not possible. They need to adjust accordingly.
Explanation
To arrange the chairs equally, we need to divide the total chairs by the number of rows.
323/4 = 80.75
Problem 2
A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 19 meters and the total area is 1292 square meters. Find the width?
68 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1292 = 19 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 19 to the left side.
1292/19 = width
Width = 68.
Problem 3
There are 646 apples and 2 baskets. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 323 apples.
Explanation
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the number of baskets.
646/2 = 323
Problem 4
In a class, there are 1292 students, and 17 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 76 students in each group.
Explanation
Dividing the students with the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1292/17 = 76
Problem 5
1292 books need to be arranged in 19 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 68 books.
Explanation
Divide total books by shelves.
1292/19 = 68
