Factors of 244

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 244, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 244?

The numbers that divide 244 evenly are known as factors of 244.

 

A factor of 244 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 244 are 1, 2, 4, 61, 122, and 244.

 

Negative factors of 244: -1, -2, -4, -61, -122, and -244

 

Prime factors of 244: 2 and 61.

 

Prime factorization of 244: 2² × 61.

 

The sum of factors of 244: 1 + 2 + 4 + 61 + 122 + 244 = 434

How to Find Factors of 244?

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 244. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 244 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 244 by 1, 244 × 1 = 244.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 244 after multiplying

 

2 × 122 = 244

4 × 61 = 244

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 244 are: (1, 244), (2, 122), and (4, 61).

 

All these factor pairs result in 244. 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 the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 244 by 1, 244 ÷ 1 = 244.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 244 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

244 ÷ 1 = 244

244 ÷ 2 = 122

244 ÷ 4 = 61

 

Therefore, the factors of 244 are: 1, 2, 4, 61, 122, and 244.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 244 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

244 ÷ 2 = 122

122 ÷ 2 = 61

61 ÷ 61 = 1

 

The prime factors of 244 are 2 and 61.

 

The prime factorization of 244 is: 2² × 61.

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, 244 is divided by 2 to get 122.

 

Step 2: Now divide 122 by 2 to get 61. Here, 61 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 244 is: 2² × 61.

 

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 244: (1, 244), (2, 122), and (4, 61).

 

Negative factor pairs of 244: (-1, -244), (-2, -122), and (-4, -61).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 244

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and ways to avoid them.

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 number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 244, 1 and 244 are also factors.

Factors of 244 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 4 teams and 244 apples. How will they divide them equally?

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

They will get 61 apples each.

Explanation

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

 

244/4 = 61

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 2 meters and a total area of 244 square meters. Find the width.

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

122 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,  Area = length × width  

 

244 = 2 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 2 to the left side.

 

244/2 = width

 

Width = 122.

Problem 3

There are 122 boxes and 244 candies. How many candies will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 2 candies.

Explanation

To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the boxes.  

 

244/122 = 2
