Prime factors of 1000000: 2 and 5.
Prime factorization of 1000000: 26 × 56.
The sum of factors of 1000000: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 16 + 20 + 25 + 32 + 40 + 50 + 64 + 80 + 100 + 125 + 128 + 160 + 200 + 250 + 320 + 400 + 500 + 625 + 640 + 800 + 1000 + 1250 + 1280 + 1600 + 2000 + 2500 + 3125 + 3200 + 4000 + 5000 + 6250 + 6400 + 8000 + 10000 + 12500 + 15625 + 16000 + 20000 + 25000 + 31250 + 40000 + 50000 + 62500 + 100000 + 125000 + 200000 + 250000 + 500000 + 1000000 = 2499991
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 1000000. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1000000 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1000000 by 1, 1000000 × 1 = 1000000.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1000000 after multiplying
2 × 500000 = 1000000
4 × 250000 = 1000000
5 × 200000 = 1000000
8 × 125000 = 1000000
10 × 100000 = 1000000
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1000000 are: (1, 1000000), (2, 500000), (4, 250000), (5, 200000), (8, 125000), (10, 100000), etc. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1000000 by 1, 1000000 ÷ 1 = 1000000.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1000000 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1000000 ÷ 1 = 1000000
1000000 ÷ 2 = 500000
1000000 ÷ 4 = 250000
1000000 ÷ 5 = 200000
1000000 ÷ 8 = 125000
Therefore, the factors of 1000000 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, ..., and 1000000.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1000000 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1000000 ÷ 2 = 500000
500000 ÷ 2 = 250000
250000 ÷ 2 = 125000
125000 ÷ 2 = 62500
62500 ÷ 2 = 31250
31250 ÷ 2 = 15625
15625 ÷ 5 = 3125
3125 ÷ 5 = 625
625 ÷ 5 = 125
125 ÷ 5 = 25
25 ÷ 5 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
The prime factors of 1000000 are 2 and 5. The prime factorization of 1000000 is: 26 × 56.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1000000 is divided by 2 to get 500000.
Step 2: Now divide 500000 by 2 to get 250000.
Step 3: Then divide 250000 by 2 to get 125000.
Step 4: Divide 125000 by 2 to get 62500.
Step 5: Continue this process until you reach the prime number 5, which cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1000000 is: 26 × 56.
