Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 1050, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1050 evenly are known as factors of 1050.
A factor of 1050 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1050 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 25, 30, 35, 42, 50, 70, 75, 105, 150, 175, 210, 350, 525, and 1050.
Negative factors of 1050: -1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -7, -10, -14, -15, -21, -25, -30, -35, -42, -50, -70, -75, -105, -150, -175, -210, -350, -525, and -1050.
Prime factors of 1050: 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Prime factorization of 1050: 2 × 3 × 5² × 7.
The sum of factors of 1050 is: 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 14 + 15 + 21 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 42 + 50 + 70 + 75 + 105 + 150 + 175 + 210 + 350 + 525 + 1050 = 3724
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 1050. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1050 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1050 by 1, 1050 × 1 = 1050.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1050 after multiplying
2 × 525 = 1050
3 × 350 = 1050
5 × 210 = 1050
6 × 175 = 1050
7 × 150 = 1050
10 × 105 = 1050
14 × 75 = 1050
15 × 70 = 1050
21 × 50 = 1050
25 × 42 = 1050
30 × 35 = 1050
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1050 are: (1, 1050), (2, 525), (3, 350), (5, 210), (6, 175), (7, 150), (10, 105), (14, 75), (15, 70), (21, 50), (25, 42), (30, 35). 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1050 by 1, 1050 ÷ 1 = 1050.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1050 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1050 ÷ 1 = 1050
1050 ÷ 2 = 525
1050 ÷ 3 = 350
1050 ÷ 5 = 210
1050 ÷ 6 = 175
1050 ÷ 7 = 150
1050 ÷ 10 = 105
1050 ÷ 14 = 75
1050 ÷ 15 = 70
1050 ÷ 21 = 50
1050 ÷ 25 = 42
1050 ÷ 30 = 35
Therefore, the factors of 1050 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 25, 30, 35, 42, 50, 70, 75, 105, 150, 175, 210, 350, 525, 1050.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1050 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1050 ÷ 2 = 525
525 ÷ 3 = 175
175 ÷ 5 = 35
35 ÷ 5 = 7
7 ÷ 7 = 1
The prime factors of 1050 are 2, 3, 5, and 7.
The prime factorization of 1050 is: 2 × 3 × 5² × 7.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1050 is divided by 2 to get 525.
Step 2: Now divide 525 by 3 to get 175.
Step 3: Then divide 175 by 5 to get 35.
Step 4: Divide 35 by 5 to get 7. Here, 7 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1050 is: 2 × 3 × 5² × 7.
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 1050: (1, 1050), (2, 525), (3, 350), (5, 210), (6, 175), (7, 150), (10, 105), (14, 75), (15, 70), (21, 50), (25, 42), (30, 35).
Negative factor pairs of 1050: (-1, -1050), (-2, -525), (-3, -350), (-5, -210), (-6, -175), (-7, -150), (-10, -105), (-14, -75), (-15, -70), (-21, -50), (-25, -42), (-30, -35).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 15 friends and 1050 marbles. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 70 marbles each.
To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles by the number of friends.
1050/15 = 70
A rectangular field has a length of 25 meters and a total area of 1050 square meters. Find the width.
42 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula:
Area = length × width
1050 = 25 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 25 to the left side.
1050/25 = width
Width = 42.
There are 35 boxes and 1050 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 30 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the number of boxes.
1050/35 = 30
In a class, there are 1050 students, and 50 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 21 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1050/50 = 21
1050 books need to be arranged on 7 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 150 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
1050/7 = 150
