Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1918, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1918 evenly are known as factors of 1918.
A factor of 1918 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1918 are 1, 2, 959, and 1918.
Negative factors of 1918: -1, -2, -959, and -1918.
Prime factors of 1918: 2 and 959.
Prime factorization of 1918: 2 × 959.
The sum of factors of 1918: 1 + 2 + 959 + 1918 = 2880
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 1918. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1918 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1918 by 1, 1918 × 1 = 1918.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1918 after multiplying
2 × 959 = 1918
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1918 are: (1, 1918) and (2, 959). All these factor pairs result in 1918. 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 1918 by 1, 1918 ÷ 1 = 1918.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1918 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1918 ÷ 1 = 1918
1918 ÷ 2 = 959
Therefore, the factors of 1918 are: 1, 2, 959, 1918.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1918 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1918 ÷ 2 = 959
959 is a prime number The prime factors of 1918 are 2 and 959.
The prime factorization of 1918 is: 2 × 959.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1918 is divided by 2 to get 959.
Step 2: 959 is already a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1918 is: 2 × 959.
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 1918: (1, 1918) and (2, 959).
Negative factor pairs of 1918: (-1, -1918) and (-2, -959).
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 2 teams and 1918 points. How will they share it equally?
They will get 959 points each.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points with the number of teams.
1918/2 = 959
A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 2 meters and the total area is 1918 square meters. Find the width?
959 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1918 = 2 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 2 to the left side.
1918/2 = width
Width = 959.
There are 1918 apples and 1 basket. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 1918 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples with the baskets.
1918/1 = 1918
In a class, there are 1918 students, and 959 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 2 students in each group.
Dividing the students with the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1918/959 = 2
1918 books need to be organized in 1 library. How many books will go on each shelf if there is only one shelf?
All 1918 books will go on the single shelf.
Divide total books with shelves.
1918/1 = 1918
