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 1745, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1745 evenly are known as factors of 1745.
A factor of 1745 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1745 are 1, 5, 349, and 1745.
Negative factors of 1745: -1, -5, -349, and -1745.
Prime factors of 1745: 5 and 349.
Prime factorization of 1745: 5 × 349.
The sum of factors of 1745: 1 + 5 + 349 + 1745 = 2100
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 1745. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1745 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1745 by 1, 1745 × 1 = 1745.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1745 after multiplying 5 × 349 = 1745
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1745 are: (1, 1745), (5, 349).
All these factor pairs result in 1745.
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 1745 by 1, 1745 ÷ 1 = 1745.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1745 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1745 ÷ 1 = 1745
1745 ÷ 5 = 349
Therefore, the factors of 1745 are: 1, 5, 349, 1745.
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 1745 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1745 ÷ 5 = 349
349 ÷ 349 = 1
The prime factors of 1745 are 5 and 349.
The prime factorization of 1745 is: 5 × 349.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1745 is divided by 5 to get 349.
Step 2: Divide 349 by 349 to get 1. Here, 349 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1745 is: 5 × 349.
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 1745: (1, 1745), (5, 349).
Negative factor pairs of 1745: (-1, -1745), (-5, -349).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A farmer has 5 plots of land and 1745 trees. How many trees will each plot receive if distributed equally?
Each plot will receive 349 trees.
To distribute the trees equally, we need to divide the total number of trees by the number of plots.
1745/5 = 349
A rectangular garden has a length of 349 meters and a total area of 1745 square meters. Find the width.
5 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1745 = 349 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 349 to the left side.
1745/349 = width
Width = 5.
A warehouse has 1745 boxes and needs to be organized into 5 sections. How many boxes will be in each section?
Each section will have 349 boxes.
To find the number of boxes in each section, divide the total number of boxes by the number of sections.
1745/5 = 349
A company has 1745 units of product and needs to pack them into boxes of 349 units each. How many boxes are needed?
5 boxes are needed.
Dividing the total units by the units per box, we will get the number of boxes.
1745/349 = 5
A library has 5 shelves and 1745 books. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 349 books.
Divide the total number of books by the number of shelves.
1745/5 = 349
