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 108 students and 10800 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 100 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of students.
10800/108 = 100
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 90 meters, and the total area is 10800 square meters. Find the width?
120 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
10800 = 90 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 90 to the left side.
10800/90 = width
Width = 120.
There are 450 baskets and 10800 apples. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 24 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
10800/450 = 24
In a company, there are 360 employees, and each team has 10800 tasks. How many tasks does each employee handle?
Each employee handles 30 tasks.
Dividing the tasks with the total employees, we will get the number of tasks each employee handles.
10800/360 = 30
10800 books need to be arranged in 60 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf has 180 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
10800/60 = 180
