How to Find Factors of 32768?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using division method

     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 32768. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 32768 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 32768 by 1, 32768 × 1 = 32768.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 32768 after multiplying:

2 × 16384 = 32768

4 × 8192 = 32768

8 × 4096 = 32768

16 × 2048 = 32768

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 32768 are: (1, 32768), (2, 16384), (4, 8192), (8, 4096), (16, 2048), and so forth. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 32768 by 1, 32768 ÷ 1 = 32768.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 32768 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

32768 ÷ 1 = 32768

32768 ÷ 2 = 16384

32768 ÷ 4 = 8192

32768 ÷ 8 = 4096

32768 ÷ 16 = 2048

 

Therefore, the factors of 32768 include: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and others up to 32768.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using factor tree
     

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 32768 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

32768 ÷ 2 = 16384

16384 ÷ 2 = 8192

8192 ÷ 2 = 4096

4096 ÷ 2 = 2048

2048 ÷ 2 = 1024

1024 ÷ 2 = 512

512 ÷ 2 = 256

256 ÷ 2 = 128

128 ÷ 2 = 64

64 ÷ 2 = 32

32 ÷ 2 = 16

16 ÷ 2 = 8

8 ÷ 2 = 4

4 ÷ 2 = 2

2 ÷ 2 = 1

 

The prime factor of 32768 is 2.

 

The prime factorization of 32768 is: 2^15.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show:

 

Step 1: Firstly, 32768 is divided by 2 to get 16384.

 

Step 2: Now divide 16384 by 2 to get 8192.

 

Step 3: Then divide 8192 by 2 to get 4096.

 

Step 4: Continue this process until you reach 1.

 

The prime factorization of 32768 is: 215.

 

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 32768: (1, 32768), (2, 16384), (4, 8192), and so forth.

 

Negative factor pairs of 32768: (-1, -32768), (-2, -16384), (-4, -8192), and so forth.

Problem 1

There are 32 teams participating in a tournament with 32768 participants. How many participants are in each team?

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

There will be 1024 participants in each team.

Explanation

To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.

32768/32 = 1024

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 16 meters and a total area of 32768 square meters. Find the width.

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

The width is 2048 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the plot, we use the formula,

Area = length × width

32768 = 16 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 16 to the left side.

32768/16 = width

Width = 2048.
