What are the Factors of 1898?
The numbers that divide 1898 evenly are known as factors of 1898. A factor of 1898 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 1898 are 1, 2, 13, 26, 73, 146, 949, and 1898. Negative factors of 1898: -1, -2, -13, -26, -73, -146, -949, and -1898. Prime factors of 1898: 2, 13, and 73. Prime factorization of 1898: 2 × 13 × 73. The sum of factors of 1898: 1 + 2 + 13 + 26 + 73 + 146 + 949 + 1898 = 3108
How to Find Factors of 1898?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods: Finding factors using multiplication Finding factors using 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 1898. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1898 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 1898 by 1, 1898 × 1 = 1898. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1898 after multiplying 2 × 949 = 1898 13 × 146 = 1898 26 × 73 = 1898 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1898 are: (1, 1898), (2, 949), (13, 146), (26, 73). All these factor pairs result in 1898. 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 results as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 1898 by 1, 1898 ÷ 1 = 1898. Step 2: Continue dividing 1898 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 1898 ÷ 1 = 1898 1898 ÷ 2 = 949 1898 ÷ 13 = 146 1898 ÷ 26 = 73 Therefore, the factors of 1898 are: 1, 2, 13, 26, 73, 146, 949, 1898.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
The factors can be found by dividing it with 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 1898 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1. 1898 ÷ 2 = 949 949 ÷ 13 = 73 73 ÷ 73 = 1 The prime factors of 1898 are 2, 13, and 73. The prime factorization of 1898 is: 2 × 13 × 73.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 1898 is divided by 2 to get 949. Step 2: Now divide 949 by 13 to get 73. Step 3: Divide 73 by 73 to get 1. Here, 73 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1898 is: 2 × 13 × 73. 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 1898: (1, 1898), (2, 949), (13, 146), (26, 73). Negative factor pairs of 1898: (-1, -1898), (-2, -949), (-13, -146), (-26, -73).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1898
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 1898, 1 and 1898 are also factors.
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 1898 consist of -1, -2, -13, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fractions also as factors. Only whole numbers can be factors. For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor, because 1898/1.5 = 1265.333, and it 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 1898 are prime numbers. For example, 2, 13, and 73 are the prime factors of 1898, but it has other factors like 26, 146.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up writing wrong factors. For example, not breaking 1898 as 2 × 13 × 73 and missing all the key factors.
Factors of 1898 Examples
Problem 1
There are 6 groups and 1898 apples. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 316 apples each.
Explanation
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples with the number of groups. 1898/6 = 316.333 Since we can't have a fraction of an apple, 316 apples can be equally distributed.
Problem 2
A rectangular garden has a length of 26 meters and a total area of 1898 square meters. Find the width?
73 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 1898 = 26 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 26 to the left side. 1898/26 = width Width = 73.
Problem 3
There are 73 tables and 1898 chairs. How many chairs will be at each table?
Each table will have 26 chairs.
Explanation
To find the chairs at each table, divide the total chairs by the number of tables. 1898/73 = 26
Problem 4
A hall can seat 949 people and has 13 sections. How many people are there in each section?
There are 73 people in each section.
Explanation
Dividing the total number of people by the total sections, we will get the number of people in each section. 949/13 = 73
Problem 5
1898 books need to be distributed equally among 146 students. How many books will each student receive?
Each student will receive 13 books.
Explanation
Divide the total number of books by the number of students. 1898/146 = 13
