Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 29791. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 29791 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 29791 by 1, 29791 × 1 = 29791.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 29791 after multiplying

17 × 1753 = 29791

31 × 961 = 29791

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 29791 are: (1, 29791), (17, 1753), (31, 961). All these factor pairs result in 29791. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 29791 by 1, 29791 ÷ 1 = 29791.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 29791 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

29791 ÷ 1 = 29791

29791 ÷ 17 = 1753

29791 ÷ 31 = 961

 

Therefore, the factors of 29791 are: 1, 17, 31, 527, 169, 29791.

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 29791 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

29791 ÷ 17 = 1753

1753 ÷ 17 = 103

103 ÷ 31 = 3.

 

32258 The prime factors of 29791 are 17 and 31.

 

The prime factorization of 29791 is: 17² × 31.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 29791 is divided by 17 to get 1753.

 

Step 2: Now divide 1753 by 17 to get 103.

 

Step 3: Then divide 103 by 31 to get 3.32258.

 

So, the prime factorization of 29791 is: 17² × 31.

 

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 29791: (1, 29791), (17, 1753), (31, 961)

 

Negative factor pairs of 29791: (-1, -29791), (-17, -1753), (-31, -961).

Factors of 29791 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 17 friends and 29791 candies. How will they divide them equally?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

They will get 1753 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of friends.

29791/17 = 1753

Problem 2

A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 31 meters and the total area is 29791 square meters. Find the width?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

961 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the field, we use the formula,

Area = length × width

29791 = 31 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 31 to the left side.

29791/31 = width

Width = 961.
