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 1806, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1806 evenly are known as factors of 1806.
A factor of 1806 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1806 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 54, 69, 78, 117, 138, 234, 261, 391, 522, 783, and 1806.
Negative factors of 1806: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -13, -18, -26, -39, -54, -69, -78, -117, -138, -234, -261, -391, -522, -783, and -1806.
Prime factors of 1806: 2, 3, and 13.
Prime factorization of 1806: 2 × 3^2 × 13^2.
The sum of factors of 1806: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 13 + 18 + 26 + 39 + 54 + 69 + 78 + 117 + 138 + 234 + 261 + 391 + 522 + 783 + 1806 = 4572
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 1806. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1806 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1806 by 1, 1806 × 1 = 1806.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1806 after multiplying
2 × 903 = 1806
3 × 602 = 1806
6 × 301 = 1806
9 × 201 = 1806
13 × 139 = 1806
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1806 are: (1, 1806), (2, 903), (3, 602), (6, 301), (9, 201), (13, 139).
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 1806 by 1, 1806 ÷ 1 = 1806.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1806 by numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1806 ÷ 1 = 1806
1806 ÷ 2 = 903
1806 ÷ 3 = 602
1806 ÷ 6 = 301
1806 ÷ 9 = 201
1806 ÷ 13 = 139
Therefore, the factors of 1806 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 54, 69, 78, 117, 138, 234, 261, 391, 522, 783, and 1806.
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 1806 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1806 ÷ 2 = 903
903 ÷ 3 = 301
301 ÷ 13 = 23
23 ÷ 23 = 1
The prime factors of 1806 are 2, 3, and 13.
The prime factorization of 1806 is: 2 × 3^2 × 13^2.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1806 is divided by 2 to get 903.
Step 2: Now divide 903 by 3 to get 301.
Step 3: Then divide 301 by 13 to get 23.
Here, 23 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1806 is: 2 × 3^2 × 13^2.
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 1806: (1, 1806), (2, 903), (3, 602), (6, 301), (9, 201), (13, 139).
Negative factor pairs of 1806: (-1, -1806), (-2, -903), (-3, -602), (-6, -301), (-9, -201), (-13, -139).
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 1806 sports equipment pieces. How will they distribute them equally?
They will get 301 pieces each.
To divide the equipment equally, we need to divide the total pieces by the number of teams.
1806/6 = 301
A farm is rectangular, with the length of the farm being 18 meters and the total area being 1806 square meters. Find the width?
The width is 100.333 meters.
To find the width of the farm, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1806 = 18 × width
To find the value of width, divide 1806 by 18.
1806/18 = 100.333
There are 9 boxes and 1806 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?
Each box will have 201 marbles.
To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles by the number of boxes.
1806/9 = 201
In an event, there are 13 stations and 1806 participants. How many participants are there at each station?
There are 139 participants at each station.
Dividing the participants by the total stations, we will get the number of participants at each station.
1806/13 = 139
1806 tulip bulbs need to be planted in 3 gardens. How many bulbs will go in each garden?
Each garden will have 602 bulbs.
Divide the total bulbs by the number of gardens.
1806/3 = 602
