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 1392, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1392 evenly are known as factors of 1392.
A factor of 1392 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1392 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 29, 48, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 464, 696, and 1392.
Negative factors of 1392: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, -16, -24, -29, -48, -58, -87, -116, -174, -232, -348, -464, -696, and -1392.
Prime factors of 1392: 2, 3, and 29.
Prime factorization of 1392: 24 × 3 × 29.
The sum of factors of 1392: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 24 + 29 + 48 + 58 + 87 + 116 + 174 + 232 + 348 + 464 + 696 + 1392 = 3720
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 1392. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1392 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1392 by 1, 1392 × 1 = 1392.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1392 after multiplying
2 × 696 = 1392
3 × 464 = 1392
4 × 348 = 1392
6 × 232 = 1392
8 × 174 = 1392
12 × 116 = 1392
16 × 87 = 1392
24 × 58 = 1392
29 × 48 = 1392
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1392 are: (1, 1392), (2, 696), (3, 464), (4, 348), (6, 232), (8, 174), (12, 116), (16, 87), (24, 58), and (29, 48).
All these factor pairs result in 1392.
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 the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1392 by 1, 1392 ÷ 1 = 1392.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1392 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1392 ÷ 1 = 1392
1392 ÷ 2 = 696
1392 ÷ 3 = 464
1392 ÷ 4 = 348
1392 ÷ 6 = 232
1392 ÷ 8 = 174
1392 ÷ 12 = 116
1392 ÷ 16 = 87
1392 ÷ 24 = 58
1392 ÷ 29 = 48
Therefore, the factors of 1392 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 29, 48, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 464, 696, and 1392.
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 1392 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1392 ÷ 2 = 696
696 ÷ 2 = 348
348 ÷ 2 = 174
174 ÷ 2 = 87
87 ÷ 3 = 29
29 ÷ 29 = 1
The prime factors of 1392 are 2, 3, and 29.
The prime factorization of 1392 is: 24 × 3 × 29.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1392 is divided by 2 to get 696.
Step 2: Now divide 696 by 2 to get 348.
Step 3: Then divide 348 by 2 to get 174.
Step 4: Divide 174 by 2 to get 87.
Step 5: Divide 87 by 3 to get 29. Here, 29 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1392 is: 24 × 3 × 29.
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 1392: (1, 1392), (2, 696), (3, 464), (4, 348), (6, 232), (8, 174), (12, 116), (16, 87), (24, 58), and (29, 48).
Negative factor pairs of 1392: (-1, -1392), (-2, -696), (-3, -464), (-4, -348), (-6, -232), (-8, -174), (-12, -116), (-16, -87), (-24, -58), and (-29, -48).
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 12 friends and 1392 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 116 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.
1392/12 = 116
A rectangular garden has a length of 48 meters and a total area of 1392 square meters. Find the width.
29 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1392 = 48 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 48 to the left side.
1392/48 = width
Width = 29.
There are 29 baskets and 1392 apples. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 48 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
1392/29 = 48
In a class, there are 1392 students, and 6 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 232 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1392/6 = 232
1392 books need to be arranged in 87 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 16 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
1392/87 = 16
