Finding Factors Using Multiplication Method

The multiplication method finds the pair of factors that give 5400 as their product.
 

Step 1: Find the pair of numbers whose product is 5400.
 

Step 2: The factors are those numbers, when multiplied, give 5400.
 

Step 3: Make a list of numbers whose product will be 5400.

A list of numbers whose products are 5400 is given below:

  • 1 × 5400 = 5400
  • 2 × 2700 = 5400
  • 3 × 1800 = 5400
  • 4 × 1350 = 5400
  • 5 × 1080 = 5400
  • 6 × 900 = 5400
  • 8 × 675 = 5400
  • 9 × 600 = 5400
  • 10 × 540 = 5400
  • 12 × 450 = 5400
  • 15 × 360 = 5400
  • 18 × 300 = 5400
  • 20 × 270 = 5400
  • 25 × 216 = 5400
  • 30 × 180 = 5400
  • 36 × 150 = 5400
  • 45 × 120 = 5400
  • 50 × 108 = 5400
  • 60 × 90 = 5400
  • 75 × 72 = 5400

 

 

Thus, the factors of 5400 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 72, 75, 90, 108, 120, 150, 180, 216, 270, 300, 360, 450, 540, 600, 675, 900, 1080, 1350, 1800, 5400.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are given below:
 

Step 1: Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor. Example: 5400 ÷ 1 = 5400
 

Step 2: Move to the next integer. The factors of the number include the number that is used to divide and the number of times the particular number is divided.

 

 

Thus, the factors of 5400 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 72, 75, 90, 108, 120, 150, 180, 216, 270, 300, 360, 450, 540, 600, 675, 900, 1080, 1350, 1800, 5400.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. A number, when simplified using the factors of that number and expressed in the form of prime factors, is the prime factorization of a number.
 

Prime Factors of 5400:
Number 5400 has the following prime factors:
2, 3, 5
To find the prime factors of 5400, we can divide 5400 with the prime numbers like 2, 3, and 5 from the list of factors of 5400.
 

Step 1: Divide 5400 with the prime number 2
5400 ÷ 2 = 2700
 

Step 2: Divide 2700 with the prime number 2
2700 ÷ 2 = 1350
 

Step 3: Divide 1350 with the prime number 2
1350 ÷ 2 = 675
 

Step 4: Divide 675 with the prime number 3
675 ÷ 3 = 225
 

Step 5: Divide 225 with the prime number 3
225 ÷ 3 = 75
 

Step 6: Divide 75 with the prime number 3
75 ÷ 3 = 25
 

Step 7: Divide 25 with the prime number 5
25 ÷ 5 = 5
 

Step 8: Divide 5 with the prime number 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1

Solved Examples for Factors of 588.

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you check whether 75 and 25 are co-prime with respect to the factors of 5400?

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

 No, 75 and 25 are not co-prime with respect to the factors of 5400.

Explanation

To check whether the two numbers are co-prime, list their factors first.
Once you have listed the factors, identify the common factors and determine the GCF.
If the GCF is greater than 1, then the numbers are not co-prime.
Factors of 75: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75
Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25
Factors of 5400: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 27, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100, 108, 135, 150, 180, 225, 300, 450, 540, 600, 900, 1350, 1800, 5400
Here, the GCF of 75 and 25 is 25, which is greater than 1, so they are not co-prime.
For co-prime, the GCF of numbers should be 1.

Problem 2

Verify whether 75 is a multiple of 7 with respect to the factors of 5400.

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

No, 75 is not a multiple of 7 with respect to the factors of 5400.

Explanation

Multiples of 7 are numbers we get when 7 is multiplied by another number.
Since 7 is not a factor of 5400, no number can be multiplied by 7 to get 75 as the product.

Problem 3

Identify the perfect square from the factors of 5400.

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

The perfect square factor of 5400 is 900, and the root is 30.

Explanation

A perfect square is a number we get when the same number is multiplied twice.
When 30 is multiplied twice (30×30), we get the perfect square 900.
So, 900 is a perfect square among the factors of 5400.

Problem 4

Can you check whether 15 and 30 are co-prime with respect to the factors of 5400?

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

No, 15 and 30 are not co-prime with respect to the factors of 5400.

Explanation

 To check whether the two numbers are co-prime, list their factors first.
Once you have listed the factors, identify the common factors and determine the GCF.
If the GCF is greater than 1, then the numbers are not co-prime.
Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 5400: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 27, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100, 108, 135, 150, 180, 225, 300, 450, 540, 600, 900, 1350, 1800, 5400
Here, the GCF is 15, which is greater than 1, so they are not co-prime.

Problem 5

Verify whether 150 is a factor of 5400.

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

Yes, 150 is a factor of 5400.

Explanation

A number is a factor of another if it divides the number exactly.
150 divides 5400 without leaving a remainder.
Factors of 5400: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 27, 30, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100, 108, 135, 150, 180, 225, 300, 450, 540, 600, 900, 1350, 1800, 5400
Since 150 is listed as a factor, it is indeed a factor of 5400.
