Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1300, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1300 evenly are known as factors of 1300.
A factor of 1300 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1300 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 25, 26, 50, 52, 65, 100, 130, 260, 325, 650, and 1300.
Negative factors of 1300: -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -13, -20, -25, -26, -50, -52, -65, -100, -130, -260, -325, -650, and -1300.
Prime factors of 1300: 2, 5, and 13. Prime factorization of 1300: 22 × 52 × 13.
The sum of factors of 1300: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 13 + 20 + 25 + 26 + 50 + 52 + 65 + 100 + 130 + 260 + 325 + 650 + 1300 = 2958
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1300. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1300 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1300 by 1, 1300 × 1 = 1300.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1300 after multiplying
- 2 × 650 = 1300
- 4 × 325 = 1300
- 5 × 260 = 1300
- 10 × 130 = 1300
- 13 × 100 = 1300
- 20 × 65 = 1300
- 25 × 52 = 1300
- 26 × 50 = 1300
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1300 are: (1, 1300), (2, 650), (4, 325), (5, 260), (10, 130), (13, 100), (20, 65), (25, 52), and (26, 50).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1300 by 1, 1300 ÷ 1 = 1300.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1300 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
- 1300 ÷ 1 = 1300
- 1300 ÷ 2 = 650
- 1300 ÷ 4 = 325
- 1300 ÷ 5 = 260
- 1300 ÷ 10 = 130
- 1300 ÷ 13 = 100
- 1300 ÷ 20 = 65
- 1300 ÷ 25 = 52
- 1300 ÷ 26 = 50
Therefore, the factors of 1300 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 25, 26, 50, 52, 65, 100, 130, 260, 325, 650, and 1300.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1300 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
- 1300 ÷ 2 = 650
- 650 ÷ 2 = 325
- 325 ÷ 5 = 65
- 65 ÷ 5 = 13
- 13 ÷ 13 = 1
The prime factors of 1300 are 2, 5, and 13.
The prime factorization of 1300 is: \(22 \times 52 \times 13\).
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -
Step 1: Firstly, 1300 is divided by 2 to get 650.
Step 2: Now divide 650 by 2 to get 325.
Step 3: Then divide 325 by 5 to get 65.
Step 4: Divide 65 by 5 to get 13.
Here, 13 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1300 is: \(22 \times 52 \times 13\).
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 1300: (1, 1300), (2, 650), (4, 325), (5, 260), (10, 130), (13, 100), (20, 65), (25, 52), and (26, 50).
Negative factor pairs of 1300: (-1, -1300), (-2, -650), (-4, -325), (-5, -260), (-10, -130), (-13, -100), (-20, -65), (-25, -52), and (-26, -50).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 13 friends and 1300 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 100 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.
1300/13 = 100
A rectangular garden has a length of 20 meters and a total area of 1300 square meters. Find the width?
65 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1300 = 20 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 20 to the left side.
1300/20 = width
Width = 65.
There are 10 baskets and 1300 apples. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 130 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
1300/10 = 130
In a conference, there are 1300 attendees and 25 groups. How many attendees are there in each group?
There are 52 attendees in each group.
Dividing the attendees by the total groups, we will get the number of attendees in each group.
1300/25 = 52
1300 books need to be arranged in 52 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 25 books.
Divide total books by shelves. 1300/52 = 25
