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 1379, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1379 evenly are known as factors of 1379.
A factor of 1379 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1379 are 1 and 1379, as it is a prime number.
Negative factors of 1379: -1 and -1379.
Since 1379 is a prime number, it has no other prime factors besides itself.
The sum of factors of 1379: 1 + 1379 = 1380
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 1379. Since 1379 is a prime number, the only multiplication that results in 1379 is:
Step 1: Multiply 1379 by 1, 1379 × 1 = 1379.
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1379 are: (1, 1379).
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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1379 by 1, 1379 ÷ 1 = 1379.
Step 2: Check if 1379 can be divided evenly by any other numbers besides 1 and itself.
Since 1379 is a prime number, no other division results in a whole number, confirming its factors are 1 and 1379.
Since 1379 is a prime number, its only prime factors are itself and 1.
There is no need for further factorization.
The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors.
For 1379: Since 1379 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further into other prime factors.
The factor tree for 1379 would simply show 1379 itself.
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 1379: (1, 1379).
Negative factor pairs of 1379: (-1, -1379).
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 1379 marbles and 1 jar. How will they store the marbles?
All 1379 marbles will go into the 1 jar.
Since there is only 1 jar, all the marbles will go into it.
1379/1 = 1379
A race has 1379 participants and only 1 winner. How many participants will not win?
1378 participants will not win.
To find the number of participants who will not win: 1379 (total participants) - 1 (winner) = 1378
There are 1379 chairs and 1 table. How many chairs per table?
All 1379 chairs are for the 1 table.
Each table has 1379 chairs, as there is only one table.
1379/1 = 1379
In a conference, there is 1 speaker and an audience of 1379 people. How many people in total are there?
There are 1380 people in total.
Adding the speaker to the audience gives us the total number of people:
1379 (audience) + 1 (speaker) = 1380
1379 pages need to be filled in 1 book. How many pages will go in each book?
All 1379 pages will go into the 1 book.
Since there is only one book, all pages will be in that book.
1379/1 = 1379
