Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 1429, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1429 evenly are known as factors of 1429.
A factor of 1429 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1429 are 1, 1429.
Negative factors of 1429: -1, -1429.
Since 1429 is a prime number, it has no prime factors other than itself.
The sum of factors of 1429: 1 + 1429 = 1430
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1429. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1429 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1429 by 1, 1429 × 1 = 1429.
Since 1429 is a prime number, it has no other multiplication pairs.
Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1429 is: (1, 1429).
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 the simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1429 by 1, 1429 ÷ 1 = 1429.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1429 by numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1429 ÷ 1 = 1429
1429 ÷ 1429 = 1
Therefore, the factors of 1429 are: 1, 1429.
Since 1429 is a prime number, it does not have any prime factors other than itself.
The concept of prime factorization does not apply to prime numbers.
The factor tree is a graphical representation often used to break down numbers into their prime factors.
However, as 1429 is a prime number, the factor tree for 1429 would only show itself and 1.
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 1429: (1, 1429).
Negative factor pairs of 1429: (-1, -1429).
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 1429 apples and 1 basket. How will they fit the apples?
All 1429 apples will fit in the basket.
Since there is only 1 basket, all the apples will go into that one basket.
A building has 1429 bricks. If each row uses one brick, how many rows will be there?
There will be 1429 rows.
To find the number of rows, divide the total bricks by the number of bricks per row.
1429/1 = 1429
There are 1429 pages in a book. If a student reads 1 page a day, how many days will it take to finish the book?
It will take 1429 days.
To find how many days it will take, divide the total pages by the pages read per day.
1429/1 = 1429
A concert has 1429 seats, and each ticket grants one person a seat. How many people can attend?
1429 people can attend.
Each ticket grants one seat, so the total number of people who can attend is equal to the number of seats.
1429/1 = 1429
1429 tiles need to be laid on a single line. How many tiles will be in the line?
There will be 1429 tiles in the line.
All tiles need to be laid in a single line, so the number of tiles in the line will be equal to the total number of tiles.
1429/1 = 1429
