Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 2028, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 2028 evenly are known as factors of 2028.
A factor of 2028 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 2028 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156, 169, 338, 507, 676, 1014, and 2028.
Negative factors of 2028: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12, -13, -26, -39, -52, -78, -156, -169, -338, -507, -676, -1014, and -2028.
Prime factors of 2028: 2, 3, and 13.
Prime factorization of 2028: 2² × 3 × 13².
The sum of factors of 2028: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 + 13 + 26 + 39 + 52 + 78 + 156 + 169 + 338 + 507 + 676 + 1014 + 2028 = 5074
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 2028. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 2028 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 2028 by 1, 2028 × 1 = 2028.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 2028 after multiplying
2 × 1014 = 2028
3 × 676 = 2028
4 × 507 = 2028
6 × 338 = 2028
12 × 169 = 2028
13 × 156 = 2028
26 × 78 = 2028
39 × 52 = 2028
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 2028 are: (1, 2028), (2, 1014), (3, 676), (4, 507), (6, 338), (12, 169), (13, 156), (26, 78), (39, 52).
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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 2028 by 1, 2028 ÷ 1 = 2028.
Step 2: Continue dividing 2028 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
2028 ÷ 1 = 2028
2028 ÷ 2 = 1014
2028 ÷ 3 = 676
2028 ÷ 4 = 507
2028 ÷ 6 = 338
2028 ÷ 12 = 169
2028 ÷ 13 = 156
2028 ÷ 26 = 78
2028 ÷ 39 = 52
Therefore, the factors of 2028 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156, 169, 338, 507, 676, 1014, 2028.
The factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 2028 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
2028 ÷ 2 = 1014
1014 ÷ 2 = 507
507 ÷ 3 = 169
169 ÷ 13 = 13
13 ÷ 13 = 1
The prime factors of 2028 are 2, 3, and 13.
The prime factorization of 2028 is: 2² × 3 × 13².
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 2028 is divided by 2 to get 1014.
Step 2: Now divide 1014 by 2 to get 507.
Step 3: Then divide 507 by 3 to get 169.
Step 4: Divide 169 by 13 to get 13. Here, 13 is the smallest prime number, which cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 2028 is: 2² × 3 × 13².
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 2028: (1, 2028), (2, 1014), (3, 676), (4, 507), (6, 338), (12, 169), (13, 156), (26, 78), (39, 52).
Negative factor pairs of 2028: (-1, -2028), (-2, -1014), (-3, -676), (-4, -507), (-6, -338), (-12, -169), (-13, -156), (-26, -78), (-39, -52).
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 169 students and 2028 candies. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 12 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of students.
2028 ÷ 169 = 12
A rectangular garden has a length of 39 meters and a total area of 2028 square meters. Find the width.
52 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
2028 = 39 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 39 to the left side.
2028 ÷ 39 = width
Width = 52.
There are 52 crates and 2028 apples. How many apples will be in each crate?
Each crate will have 39 apples.
To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples by the crates.
2028 ÷ 52 = 39
In a library, there are 2028 books and 78 shelves. How many books are there on each shelf?
There are 26 books on each shelf.
Dividing the books by the total shelves, we will get the number of books on each shelf.
2028 ÷ 78 = 26
2028 pieces of art need to be displayed in 4 galleries. How many pieces will go in each gallery?
Each gallery will have 507 pieces of art.
Divide the total pieces by the number of galleries.
2028 ÷ 4 = 507
