The sum of factors of 3080: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 14 + 20 + 28 + 35 + 40 + 56 + 70 + 77 + 140 + 154 + 220 + 280 + 308 + 385 + 440 + 616 + 770 + 1100 + 1540 + 3080 = 10395
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 3080. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 3080 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 3080 by 1, 3080 × 1 = 3080.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 3080 after multiplying
2 × 1540 = 3080
4 × 770 = 3080
5 × 616 = 3080
7 × 440 = 3080
8 × 385 = 3080
10 × 308 = 3080
14 × 220 = 3080
20 × 154 = 3080
28 × 110 = 3080
35 × 88 = 3080
40 × 77 = 3080
56 × 55 = 3080
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 3080 are: (1, 3080), (2, 1540), (4, 770), (5, 616), (7, 440), (8, 385), (10, 308), (14, 220), (20, 154), (28, 110), (35, 88), (40, 77), and (56, 55). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers by 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 3080 by 1, 3080 ÷ 1 = 3080.
Step 2: Continue dividing 3080 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
3080 ÷ 1 = 3080
3080 ÷ 2 = 1540
3080 ÷ 4 = 770
3080 ÷ 5 = 616
3080 ÷ 7 = 440
3080 ÷ 8 = 385
3080 ÷ 10 = 308
3080 ÷ 14 = 220
3080 ÷ 20 = 154
3080 ÷ 28 = 110
3080 ÷ 35 = 88
3080 ÷ 40 = 77
3080 ÷ 56 = 55
Therefore, the factors of 3080 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 55, 77, 88, 110, 154, 220, 308, 385, 440, 616, 770, 1540, and 3080.
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 3080 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
3080 ÷ 2 = 1540
1540 ÷ 2 = 770
770 ÷ 2 = 385
385 ÷ 5 = 77
77 ÷ 7 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
The prime factors of 3080 are 2, 5, 7, and 11.
The prime factorization of 3080 is: 2³ × 5 × 7 × 11.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -
Step 1: Firstly, 3080 is divided by 2 to get 1540.
Step 2: Now divide 1540 by 2 to get 770.
Step 3: Then divide 770 by 2 to get 385.
Step 4: Divide 385 by 5 to get 77.
Step 5: Divide 77 by 7 to get 11. Here, 11 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 3080 is: 2³ × 5 × 7 × 11.
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 3080: (1, 3080), (2, 1540), (4, 770), (5, 616), (7, 440), (8, 385), (10, 308), (14, 220), (20, 154), (28, 110), (35, 88), (40, 77), and (56, 55).
Negative factor pairs of 3080: (-1, -3080), (-2, -1540), (-4, -770), (-5, -616), (-7, -440), (-8, -385), (-10, -308), (-14, -220), (-20, -154), (-28, -110), (-35, -88), (-40, -77), and (-56, -55).
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 70 students and 3080 candies. How will the candies be divided equally among them?
Each student will get 44 candies.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of students.
3080/70 = 44
A rectangular plot has a length of 77 meters and an area of 3080 square meters. Find the width of the plot.
40 meters.
To find the width of the plot, use the formula,
Area = length × width
3080 = 77 × width
To find the value of width, shift 77 to the left side.
3080/77 = width
Width = 40.
There are 220 chairs to be arranged in rows. If each row has 14 chairs, how many rows are needed?
16 rows are needed.
To find the number of rows, divide the total chairs by the chairs per row.
220/14 = 15.71, rounding to the next whole number, 16 rows are needed.
A teacher wants to divide 3080 sheets of paper equally among 110 students. How many sheets will each student receive?
Each student will receive 28 sheets.
Dividing the sheets by the total number of students gives the sheets per student.
3080/110 = 28
3080 bricks need to be evenly distributed across 56 walls. How many bricks will go on each wall?
Each wall will have 55 bricks.
Divide the total bricks by the number of walls.
3080/56 = 55
