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 1792, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1792 evenly are known as factors of 1792.
A factor of 1792 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1792 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 56, 112, 224, 448, 896, and 1792.
Negative factors of 1792: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -32, -56, -112, -224, -448, -896, and -1792.
Prime factors of 1792: 2 and 7.
Prime factorization of 1792: 2^8 × 7.
The sum of factors of 1792: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 56 + 112 + 224 + 448 + 896 + 1792 = 3591
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 1792. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1792 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 1792 by 1, 1792 × 1 = 1792. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1792 after multiplying 2 × 896 = 1792 4 × 448 = 1792 8 × 224 = 1792 16 × 112 = 1792 32 × 56 = 1792 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1792 are: (1, 1792), (2, 896), (4, 448), (8, 224), (16, 112), (32, 56). 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 1792 by 1, 1792 ÷ 1 = 1792.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1792 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1792 ÷ 1 = 1792
1792 ÷ 2 = 896
1792 ÷ 4 = 448
1792 ÷ 8 = 224
1792 ÷ 16 = 112
1792 ÷ 32 = 56
Therefore, the factors of 1792 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 56, 112, 224, 448, 896, 1792.
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 1792 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1792 ÷ 2 = 896
896 ÷ 2 = 448
448 ÷ 2 = 224
224 ÷ 2 = 112
112 ÷ 2 = 56
56 ÷ 2 = 28
28 ÷ 2 = 14
14 ÷ 2 = 7
7 ÷ 7 = 1
The prime factors of 1792 are 2 and 7.
The prime factorization of 1792 is: 2^8 × 7.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1792 is divided by 2 to get 896.
Step 2: Now divide 896 by 2 to get 448.
Step 3: Then divide 448 by 2 to get 224.
Step 4: Divide 224 by 2 to get 112.
Step 5: Divide 112 by 2 to get 56.
Step 6: Divide 56 by 2 to get 28.
Step 7: Divide 28 by 2 to get 14.
Step 8: Divide 14 by 2 to get 7.
Here, 7 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1792 is: 2^8 × 7.
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 1792: (1, 1792), (2, 896), (4, 448), (8, 224), (16, 112), and (32, 56).
Negative factor pairs of 1792: (-1, -1792), (-2, -896), (-4, -448), (-8, -224), (-16, -112), and (-32, -56).
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 56 marbles and 1792 candies. How will they distribute them equally?
They will get 32 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of marbles.
1792/56 = 32
A rectangular garden has a length of 112 meters and a total area of 1792 square meters. Find the width.
16 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1792 = 112 × width
To find the value of width,we need to shift 112 to the left side.
1792/112 = width
Width = 16.
There are 112 baskets and 1792 apples. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 16 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
1792/112 = 16
In a class, there are 1792 students, and 56 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 32 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1792/56 = 32
1792 chairs need to be arranged in 112 rows. How many chairs will go in each row?
Each row will have 16 chairs.
Divide total chairs by rows.
1792/112 = 16
