How to Find Factors of 1928?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
- Finding factors using multiplication
- Finding factors using the division method
- Prime factors and Prime factorization
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1928. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1928 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1928 by 1, 1928 × 1 = 1928.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1928 after multiplying
2 × 964 = 1928
4 × 482 = 1928
7 × 276 = 1928
14 × 138 = 1928
19 × 101 = 1928
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1928 are: (1, 1928), (2, 964), (4, 482), (7, 276), (14, 138), (19, 101). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
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 1928 by 1, 1928 ÷ 1 = 1928.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1928 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1928 ÷ 1 = 1928
1928 ÷ 2 = 964
1928 ÷ 4 = 482
1928 ÷ 7 = 276
1928 ÷ 14 = 138
1928 ÷ 19 = 101
Therefore, the factors of 1928 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 19, 28, 38, 76, 133, 266, 361, 532, 722, 1444, 1928.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
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
- Using factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1928 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1928 ÷ 2 = 964
964 ÷ 2 = 482
482 ÷ 2 = 241
241 ÷ 7 = 34
34 ÷ 2 = 17
17 ÷ 17 = 1
The prime factors of 1928 are 2, 7, and 19.
The prime factorization of 1928 is: 22 × 7 × 19.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1928 is divided by 2 to get 964.
Step 2: Now divide 964 by 2 to get 482.
Step 3: Then divide 482 by 2 to get 241.
Step 4: Divide 241 by 7 to get 34.
Step 5: Divide 34 by 2 to get 17. Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1928 is: 22 × 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 1928: (1, 1928), (2, 964), (4, 482), (7, 276), (14, 138), (19, 101).
Negative factor pairs of 1928: (-1, -1928), (-2, -964), (-4, -482), (-7, -276), (-14, -138), (-19, -101).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1928
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1928, 1 and 1928 is also a factor.
Mistake 2
Missing Negative Factors
We have used only to mention positive factors every time. There are also negative factors, always check whether you have mentioned negative factors.
For example, the factors of 1928 consist of -1, -2, -4, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fraction also as a factor. Only whole numbers can be a factor.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor is incorrect because 1928/1.5 is not a whole number.
Mistake 4
Confusing Factors With Prime Numbers
Remember that factors can be any whole numbers, not only just primes.
For example, thinking all the factors of 1928 are prime numbers. For example, 2, 7, and 19 are the prime factors of 1928, but it has other factors like 4, 14.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up writing wrong factors.
For example, not breaking 1928 as 22 × 7 × 19 and missing all the key factors.
Factors of 1928 Examples
Problem 1
There are 14 buses and 1928 passengers. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 138 passengers each.
Explanation
To divide the passengers equally, we need to divide the total passengers by the number of buses.
1928/14 = 138
Problem 2
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 76 meters, and the total area is 1928 square meters. Find the width?
25.368 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1928 = 76 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 76 to the left side.
1928/76 = width
Width ≈ 25.368.
Problem 3
There are 38 rooms and 1928 chairs. How many chairs will be in each room?
Each room will have 50 chairs.
Explanation
To find the chairs in each room, divide the total chairs by the rooms.
1928/38 ≈ 50.74.
Since you can't have more than 50 full chairs in each room, each room will have 50 chairs.
Problem 4
In a stadium, there are 1928 seats, and 7 sections. How many seats are there in each section?
There are 276 seats in each section.
Explanation
Dividing the seats by the total sections, we will get the number of seats in each section.
1928/7 = 276
Problem 5
1928 books need to be arranged in 19 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 101 books.
Explanation
Divide total books by shelves.
1928/19 = 101
