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 1426, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1426 evenly are known as factors of 1426.
A factor of 1426 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1426 are 1, 2, 23, 31, 46, 62, 713, and 1426.
Negative factors of 1426: -1, -2, -23, -31, -46, -62, -713, and -1426.
Prime factors of 1426: 2, 23, and 31.
Prime factorization of 1426: 2 × 23 × 31.
The sum of factors of 1426: 1 + 2 + 23 + 31 + 46 + 62 + 713 + 1426 = 2304
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 1426. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1426 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1426 by 1, 1426 × 1 = 1426.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1426 after multiplying
2 × 713 = 1426
23 × 62 = 1426
31 × 46 = 1426
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1426 are: (1, 1426), (2, 713), (23, 62), (31, 46).
All these factor pairs result in 1426.
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 1426 by 1, 1426 ÷ 1 = 1426.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1426 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1426 ÷ 1 = 1426
1426 ÷ 2 = 713
1426 ÷ 23 = 62
1426 ÷ 31 = 46
Therefore, the factors of 1426 are: 1, 2, 23, 31, 46, 62, 713, and 1426.
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 1426 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1426 ÷ 2 = 713
713 ÷ 23 = 31
31 ÷ 31 = 1
The prime factors of 1426 are 2, 23, and 31.
The prime factorization of 1426 is: 2 × 23 × 31.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1426 is divided by 2 to get 713.
Step 2: Now divide 713 by 23 to get 31.
Step 3: Here, 31 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1426 is: 2 × 23 × 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 1426: (1, 1426), (2, 713), (23, 62), and (31, 46).
Negative factor pairs of 1426: (-1, -1426), (-2, -713), (-23, -62), and (-31, -46).
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 31 team members and 713 apples. How will they divide the apples equally?
They will get 23 apples each.
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of team members.
713/31 = 23
A school auditorium has 46 rows, and the total seating capacity is 1426 seats. Find the number of seats per row.
31 seats per row.
To find the number of seats per row, we use the formula,
Total seats = rows × seats per row
1426 = 46 × seats per row
To find the value of seats per row, we need to divide 1426 by 46.
1426/46 = seats per row
Seats per row = 31
There are 2 baskets and 1426 oranges. How many oranges will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 713 oranges.
To find the oranges in each basket, divide the total oranges by the number of baskets.
1426/2 = 713
In a sports event, there are 62 teams, and 1426 participants. How many participants are there in each team?
There are 23 participants in each team.
Dividing the participants by the total number of teams, we will get the number of participants in each team.
1426/62 = 23
1426 books need to be arranged in 23 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 62 books.
Divide total books by the number of shelves.
1426/23 = 62
