What are the Factors of 1586?

The numbers that divide 1586 evenly are known as factors of 1586.

 

A factor of 1586 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1586 are 1, 2, 23, 46, 79, 158, 793, and 1586.

 

Negative factors of 1586: -1, -2, -23, -46, -79, -158, -793, and -1586. Prime factors of 1586: 2, 23, and 79.

 

Prime factorization of 1586: 2 × 23 × 79.

 

The sum of factors of 1586: 1 + 2 + 23 + 46 + 79 + 158 + 793 + 1586 = 2688

How to Find Factors of 1586?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1586. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1586 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1586 by 1, 1586 × 1 = 1586.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1586 after multiplying

 

2 × 793 = 1586

23 × 69 = 1586

46 × 34.5 = 1586

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1586 are: (1, 1586), (2, 793), (23, 69).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1586.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1586 by 1, 1586 ÷ 1 = 1586.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1586 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1586 ÷ 1 = 1586

1586 ÷ 2 = 793

1586 ÷ 23 = 69

1586 ÷ 46 = 34.5

 

Therefore, the factors of 1586 are: 1, 2, 23, 46, 79, 158, 793, 1586.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 1586 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1586 ÷ 2 = 793

793 ÷ 23 = 34.5

 

Therefore, the prime factors of 1586 are 2, 23, and 79.

 

The prime factorization of 1586 is: 2 × 23 × 79.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 1586 is divided by 2 to get 793.

 

Step 2: Now divide 793 by 23 to get 34.5.

Here, 34.5 cannot be further divided into whole numbers by prime numbers without a remainder.

So, the prime factorization of 1586 is: 2 × 23 × 79.

 

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 1586: (1, 1586), (2, 793), (23, 69).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1586: (-1, -1586), (-2, -793), (-23, -69).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every word. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1586, 1 and 1586 is also a factor.

Factors of 1586 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 793 apples and 1586 boxes. How will they distribute them equally?

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

They will get 2 apples each.

Explanation

To distribute the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of boxes.

 

793/1586 = 0.5 (This is incorrect since we must distribute equally and whole numbers are needed)

 

Revised Example: There are 1586 apples and 2 boxes.

 

How will they distribute them equally?

They will get 793 apples each. 1586/2 = 793

Problem 2

A piece of land is rectangular, with a length of 23 meters and a total area of 1586 square meters. Find the width?

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

69 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the piece of land, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

1586 = 23 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 23 to the left side.

 

1586/23 = width

 

Width = 69.

Problem 3

There are 46 workers and 1586 tasks. How many tasks will each worker complete?

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

Each worker will complete 34.5 tasks.

Explanation

To find the tasks each worker will complete, divide the total tasks by the number of workers.

 

1586/46 = 34.5

Problem 4

In a theater, there are 1586 seats, and 2 sections. How many seats are there in each section?

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

There are 793 seats in each section.

Explanation

Dividing the seats by the total sections, we will get the number of seats in each section.

 

1586/2 = 793
