Factors Of 176

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

In mathematics, there are lots of numbers that when divided by other numbers leave no remainder, these numbers are called factors. We use it in our vehicles mileage and money handling. Now, we’ll learn what factors are and factors of 176 let us now see.

Factors Of 176

We can tell if a number has more than 2 factors just by seeing if a number is a prime number or not. As none of the even numbers except 2 are prime numbers, we can tell that 176 has more than 2 factors. Let us find what the factors are.


Negative factors of 176: -1, -2, -4, -8, -11, -16, -22, -44, -88, and -176.


Prime factors of 176: The prime factors of 176 are 2 and 11.


Prime factorization of 176: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 11. 


The sum of factors of 176: 1 + 2 +4 + 8 + 11 + 16 + 22 + 44 + 88 + 176 = 372

How to find the factors of 176

Children use multiple ways to find factors of a number. Let us look at some ways we can use to find the factors of 176.

 

  • Multiplication Method

 

  • Division Method

 

  • Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

Finding The Factors Of 176 Using Multiplication

In the multiplication method, we find pairs of numbers where the product will be 169. In this process, possible steps will be - 


Step 1: Find all those numbers whose product will be 176.


Step 2: These numbers will be called the factors of 176.


Step 3: Students have to write these pairs of numbers for this method.


List of numbers whose product is 176


176×1= 176


88×2= 176


44×4= 176


22×8= 176


16×11= 176

Factors of 176 by multiplication method
So the pair of numbers whose product is 176 are (1,176), (88,2), (44,4), (22,8)  and (16,11).

Finding Factors Using Division Method

For the division method, the process of division will go on until the remainder becomes zero.



Step 1: For the division method, always try the smallest number to start with. It is advisable to start dividing the number by 1, then both the number and 1 will be its factors. Example: 176÷1 = 176.


Step 2: Then check with the next number to see whether the number is divided completely without any remainder. Both divisor and quotient are the factors. Example: 176÷2= 88 and so on.

Prime Factorization And Prime Factors

Prime factorization is the process where the number will be a product of prime factors or prime numbers.


Prime Factors Of 176: The prime factors of 176 are 2 and 11. We find the prime factors of 176 by two ways.


Prime Factorization:  Here we will divide the numbers by the smallest prime number. Till we completely divide the given number. For 176, the steps are like this:


176/2= 88


88/2= 44


44/2= 22


22/2= 11


11/11= 1


As 11 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 11. Hence, The prime factorization of the number 176 is

2×2×2×2×11.

Factor Tree

 This is a very easy method because in many ways it’s almost the same as a prime factorization. We will break down huge numbers in this case to get what we call a factor tree.


Step 1: 176 divided by 2 gives us the answer being 88.


Step 2: 88 divided by 2 gives us 44.


Step 3: 44 divided by 2 gives us 22.


Step 4: 22 divided by 2 gives us 11.


Step 5: This can’t be divided any further.

Factor Pairs

There are positive and negative factor pairs for a given number. Let us look at these factor pairs.


Positive Factor Pairs: (1,176), (88,2), (44,4), (22,8)  and (16,11).


Negative Factor Pairs: (-1,-176), (-88,-2), (-44,-4), (-22,-8)  and (-16,-11).

Problem 1

If 176 students are divided equally into 8 groups, how many students are in each group?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 There are 22 students in each group.
 

Explanation

 If you divide 176 by 8, you get 22. This means there will be 22 students in each group. So, each group has 22 students.

Problem 2

Scale, a rectangle with dimensions 176 by 8. What is the new area if each side is doubled?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The new area is 176×8×2×2= 5632.
 

Explanation

When you double the length of each side of a shape, the area becomes four times bigger because the area depends on both the length and width.

Problem 3

A rectangular box has dimensions of 176 cm by 22 cm. What is the perimeter of the base?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 The perimeter is 2(176+22)=396 cm.

Explanation

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add the length and width, then multiply the result by 2. This gives the total distance around the shape.

Problem 4

A budget of $176 needs to be divided equally into 4 categories. How much is allocated to each category?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 Each category gets $44.
 

Explanation

When you divide 176 by 4, each category gets 44. This means if you split 176 into 4 equal parts, each part is 44.

Problem 5

A company has a budget of $176 for office supplies. If each item costs $8, how many items can be purchased?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The company can purchase 22 items.
 

Explanation

To find how many items can be bought, divide the total budget (176) by the cost of one item (8). 176 ÷ 8 = 22 items
