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 1748, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1748 evenly are known as factors of 1748.
A factor of 1748 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1748 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 19, 28, 38, 76, 133, 266, 349, 532, 698, 1748.
Negative factors of 1748: -1, -2, -4, -7, -14, -19, -28, -38, -76, -133, -266, -349, -532, -698, -1748.
Prime factors of 1748: 2, 7, and 19.
Prime factorization of 1748: 2 × 2 × 7 × 19.
The sum of factors of 1748: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 + 19 + 28 + 38 + 76 + 133 + 266 + 349 + 532 + 698 + 1748 = 3926
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 1748. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1748 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1748 by 1, 1748 × 1 = 1748.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1748 after multiplying
2 × 874 = 1748
4 × 437 = 1748
7 × 249 = 1748
14 × 124 = 1748
19 × 92 = 1748
28 × 62 = 1748
38 × 46 = 1748
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1748 are: (1, 1748), (2, 874), (4, 437), (7, 249), (14, 124), (19, 92), (28, 62), (38, 46).
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 1748 by 1, 1748 ÷ 1 = 1748.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1748 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1748 ÷ 1 = 1748
1748 ÷ 2 = 874
1748 ÷ 4 = 437
1748 ÷ 7 = 249
1748 ÷ 14 = 124
1748 ÷ 19 = 92
1748 ÷ 28 = 62
1748 ÷ 38 = 46
Therefore, the factors of 1748 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 19, 28, 38, 46, 62, 92, 124, 249, 437, 874, 1748.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1748 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1748 ÷ 2 = 874
874 ÷ 2 = 437
437 ÷ 7 = 62.428 (not whole, so divide by next prime)
437 ÷ 19 = 23
23 ÷ 23 = 1
The prime factors of 1748 are 2, 7, and 19.
The prime factorization of 1748 is: 2 × 2 × 7 × 19.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1748 is divided by 2 to get 874.
Step 2: Now divide 874 by 2 to get 437.
Step 3: Divide 437 by 19 to get 23. Here, 23 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1748 is: 2 × 2 × 7 × 19.
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 1748: (1, 1748), (2, 874), (4, 437), (7, 249), (14, 124), (19, 92), (28, 62), (38, 46).
Negative factor pairs of 1748: (-1, -1748), (-2, -874), (-4, -437), (-7, -249), (-14, -124), (-19, -92), (-28, -62), (-38, -46).
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 14 students and 1748 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 124 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of students.
1748/14 = 124
A rectangular garden has a length of 38 meters and a total area of 1748 square meters. What is the width?
46 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1748 = 38 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 38 to the left side.
1748/38 = width
Width = 46.
There are 92 packages and 1748 items. How many items will be in each package?
Each package will have 19 items.
To find the items in each package, divide the total items with the packages.
1748/92 = 19
In a warehouse, there are 1748 boxes, and 7 sections. How many boxes are there in each section?
There are 249 boxes in each section.
Dividing the boxes with the total sections, we will get the number of boxes in each section.
1748/7 = 249
1748 books need to be distributed into 38 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 46 books.
Divide total books with shelves.
1748/38 = 46
