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 1412, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1412 evenly are known as factors of 1412.
A factor of 1412 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1412 are 1, 2, 4, 353, 706, and 1412.
Negative factors of 1412: -1, -2, -4, -353, -706, and -1412.
Prime factors of 1412: 2 and 353.
Prime factorization of 1412: 2² × 353.
The sum of factors of 1412: 1 + 2 + 4 + 353 + 706 + 1412 = 2478
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 1412. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1412 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1412 by 1, 1412 × 1 = 1412.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1412 after multiplying
2 × 706 = 1412
4 × 353 = 1412
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1412 are: (1, 1412), (2, 706), (4, 353).
All these factor pairs result in 1412. 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 a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1412 by 1, 1412 ÷ 1 = 1412.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1412 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1412 ÷ 1 = 1412
1412 ÷ 2 = 706
1412 ÷ 4 = 353
Therefore, the factors of 1412 are: 1, 2, 4, 353, 706, 1412.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1412 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1412 ÷ 2 = 706
706 ÷ 2 = 353
353 ÷ 353 = 1
The prime factors of 1412 are 2 and 353.
The prime factorization of 1412 is: 2² × 353.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1412 is divided by 2 to get 706.
Step 2: Now divide 706 by 2 to get 353. Here, 353 is the prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1412 is: 2² × 353.
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 1412: (1, 1412), (2, 706), (4, 353).
Negative factor pairs of 1412: (-1, -1412), (-2, -706), (-4, -353).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A baker has 353 loaves of bread and needs to package them into boxes holding 4 loaves each. How many boxes will be needed?
89 boxes will be needed.
To determine the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of loaves by the number of loaves per box.
353 ÷ 4 = 88.25, which rounds up to 89 boxes since partial boxes aren't feasible.
A gardener has a rectangular plot with a length of 706 meters and a total area of 1412 square meters. Find the width?
2 meters.
To find the width of the plot, use the formula,
Area = length × width
1412 = 706 × width
To find the value of width, divide 1412 by 706.
1412 ÷ 706 = width
Width = 2.
There are 4 classrooms and 1412 desks. How many desks will be in each classroom?
Each classroom will have 353 desks.
To find the number of desks in each classroom, divide the total desks by the number of classrooms.
1412 ÷ 4 = 353
A company has 706 employees and needs to form teams of 2. How many teams can be formed?
353 teams can be formed.
Dividing the total number of employees by the team size provides the number of teams.
706 ÷ 2 = 353
A library has 1412 books and wants to distribute them equally on 1 shelf. How many books will go on the shelf?
All 1412 books will go on the shelf.
Divide total books by shelves.
1412 ÷ 1 = 1412
