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 430, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 430 evenly are known as factors of 430.
A factor of 430 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 430 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 43, 86, 215, and 430.
Negative factors of 430: -1, -2, -5, -10, -43, -86, -215, and -430.
Prime factors of 430: 2, 5, and 43.
Prime factorization of 430: 2 × 5 × 43.
The sum of factors of 430: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 43 + 86 + 215 + 430 = 792
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 430. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 430 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 430 by 1, 430 × 1 = 430.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 430 after multiplying
2 × 215 = 430
5 × 86 = 430
10 × 43 = 430
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 430 are: (1, 430), (2, 215), (5, 86), (10, 43).
All these factor pairs result in 430.
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 430 by 1, 430 ÷ 1 = 430.
Step 2: Continue dividing 430 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
430 ÷ 1 = 430
430 ÷ 2 = 215
430 ÷ 5 = 86
430 ÷ 10 = 43
Therefore, the factors of 430 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 43, 86, 215, 430.
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 430 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
430 ÷ 2 = 215
215 ÷ 5 = 43
43 ÷ 43 = 1
The prime factors of 430 are 2, 5, and 43. The prime factorization of 430 is: 2 × 5 × 43.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 430 is divided by 2 to get 215.
Step 2: Now divide 215 by 5 to get 43.
Step 3: Here, 43 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 430 is: 2 × 5 × 43.
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 430: (1, 430), (2, 215), (5, 86), (10, 43).
Negative factor pairs of 430: (-1, -430), (-2, -215), (-5, -86), (-10, -43).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A farm has 43 rows of plants and a total of 430 plants. How many plants are in each row?
There are 10 plants in each row.
To find the number of plants in each row, divide the total plants by the number of rows.
430/43 = 10
A warehouse has 215 boxes of goods, each containing 2 items. What is the total number of items?
The total number of items is 430.
To find the total number of items, multiply the number of boxes by the number of items per box.
215 × 2 = 430
In a library, there are 5 sections with an equal number of books, totaling 430 books. How many books are in each section?
Each section has 86 books.
To find the number of books in each section, divide the total books by the number of sections.
430/5 = 86
There are 10 gift bags, and each bag contains the same number of candies, totaling 430 candies. How many candies are in each bag?
Each bag has 43 candies.
Divide the total candies by the number of gift bags to find the number of candies in each bag.
430/10 = 43
A company produced 430 units of a product in 2 days. How many units were produced per day?
215 units were produced per day.
Divide the total units by the number of days to find the units produced per day.
430/2 = 215
