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 1758, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1758 evenly are known as factors of 1758.
A factor of 1758 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1758 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 293, 586, 879, and 1758.
Negative factors of 1758: -1, -2, -3, -6, -293, -586, -879, and -1758.
Prime factors of 1758: 2, 3, and 293.
Prime factorization of 1758: 2 × 3 × 293.
The sum of factors of 1758: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 293 + 586 + 879 + 1758 = 3528
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 1758. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1758 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1758 by 1, 1758 × 1 = 1758.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1758 after multiplying
2 × 879 = 1758
3 × 586 = 1758
6 × 293 = 1758
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1758 are: (1, 1758), (2, 879), (3, 586), (6, 293).
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 1758 by 1, 1758 ÷ 1 = 1758.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1758 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1758 ÷ 1 = 1758
1758 ÷ 2 = 879
1758 ÷ 3 = 586
1758 ÷ 6 = 293
Therefore, the factors of 1758 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 293, 586, 879, 1758.
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 1758 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1758 ÷ 2 = 879
879 ÷ 3 = 293
293 ÷ 293 = 1
The prime factors of 1758 are 2, 3, and 293.
The prime factorization of 1758 is: 2 × 3 × 293.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1758 is divided by 2 to get 879.
Step 2: Now divide 879 by 3 to get 293.
Step 3: Here, 293 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1758 is: 2 × 3 × 293.
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 1758: (1, 1758), (2, 879), (3, 586), and (6, 293).
Negative factor pairs of 1758: (-1, -1758), (-2, -879), (-3, -586), and (-6, -293).
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 6 teams and 1758 participants in a tournament. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 293 participants each.
To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.
1758/6 = 293
A rectangular garden has a length of 293 meters and a total area of 1758 square meters. Find the width.
6 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1758 = 293 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 293 to the left side.
1758/293 = width
Width = 6.
There are 3 crates and 1758 apples. How many apples will be in each crate?
Each crate will have 586 apples.
To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples by the crates.
1758/3 = 586
A class has 1758 pages to read, and 2 reading groups. How many pages does each group read?
Each group reads 879 pages.
Dividing the pages by the total groups, we will get the number of pages each group reads.
1758/2 = 879
1758 units of cargo need to be arranged in 293 containers. How many units will go into each container?
Each container will have 6 units.
Divide the total units by the number of containers.
1758/293 = 6
