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 9050, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 9050 evenly are known as factors of 9050.
A factor of 9050 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 9050 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 181, 362, 905, 1810, 4525, and 9050.
Negative factors of 9050: -1, -2, -5, -10, -181, -362, -905, -1810, -4525, and -9050.
Prime factors of 9050: 2, 5, and 181.
Prime factorization of 9050: 2 × 52 × 181.
The sum of factors of 9050: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 181 + 362 + 905 + 1810 + 4525 + 9050 = 14851
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 9050. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 9050 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 9050 by 1, 9050 × 1 = 9050.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 9050 after multiplying
2 × 4525 = 9050
5 × 1810 = 9050
10 × 905 = 9050
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 9050 are: (1, 9050), (2, 4525), (5, 1810), (10, 905).
All these factor pairs result in 9050.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with 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 9050 by 1, 9050 ÷ 1 = 9050.
Step 2: Continue dividing 9050 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
9050 ÷ 1 = 9050
9050 ÷ 2 = 4525
9050 ÷ 5 = 1810
9050 ÷ 10 = 905
Therefore, the factors of 9050 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 181, 362, 905, 1810, 4525, 9050.
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 9050 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
9050 ÷ 2 = 4525
4525 ÷ 5 = 905
905 ÷ 5 = 181
181 ÷ 181 = 1
The prime factors of 9050 are 2, 5, and 181.
The prime factorization of 9050 is: 2 × 52 × 181.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 9050 is divided by 2 to get 4525.
Step 2: Now divide 4525 by 5 to get 905.
Step 3: Then divide 905 by 5 to get 181.
Step 4: Divide 181 by 181 to get 1.
Here, 181 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 9050 is: 2 × 5^2 × 181.
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 9050: (1, 9050), (2, 4525), (5, 1810), and (10, 905).
Negative factor pairs of 9050: (-1, -9050), (-2, -4525), (-5, -1810), and (-10, -905).
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 10 teams and 9050 medals. How will they distribute the medals equally?
They will get 905 medals each.
To divide the medals equally, we need to divide the total medals by the number of teams.
9050/10 = 905
A stadium has a length of 181 meters and the total area is 9050 square meters. Find the width?
50 meters.
To find the width of the stadium, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
9050 = 181 × width
To find the value of the width, we need to shift 181 to the left side.
9050/181 = width
Width = 50.
There are 362 chairs and each row has an equal number of chairs. How many rows are there if there are 9050 chairs in total?
There are 25 rows.
To find the number of rows, divide the total chairs by chairs per row.
9050/362 = 25
A concert has 4525 tickets and 2 sections. How many tickets are in each section?
There are 2262.5 tickets in each section.
Dividing the tickets by the total sections, we will get the number of tickets in each section.
9050/2 = 4525
9050 books need to be arranged in 5 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 1810 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
9050/5 = 1810
