What are the Factors of 1700?

The numbers that divide 1700 evenly are known as factors of 1700.

 

A factor of 1700 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1700 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 25, 34, 50, 68, 85, 100, 170, 340, 425, 850, and 1700.

 

Negative factors of 1700: -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -17, -20, -25, -34, -50, -68, -85, -100, -170, -340, -425, -850, and -1700.

 

Prime factors of 1700: 2, 5, and 17.

 

Prime factorization of 1700: 2² × 5² × 17.

 

The sum of factors of 1700: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 17 + 20 + 25 + 34 + 50 + 68 + 85 + 100 + 170 + 340 + 425 + 850 + 1700 = 3916

How to Find Factors of 1700?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using division method
     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1700. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1700 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1700 by 1, 1700 × 1 = 1700.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1700 after multiplying

 

2 × 850 = 1700

4 × 425 = 1700

5 × 340 = 1700

10 × 170 = 1700

17 × 100 = 1700

20 × 85 = 1700

25 × 68 = 1700

34 × 50 = 1700

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1700 are: (1, 1700), (2, 850), (4, 425), (5, 340), (10, 170), (17, 100), (20, 85), (25, 68), and (34, 50).

 

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 simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 1700 by 1, 1700 ÷ 1 = 1700.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1700 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1700 ÷ 1 = 1700

1700 ÷ 2 = 850

1700 ÷ 4 = 425

1700 ÷ 5 = 340

1700 ÷ 10 = 170

1700 ÷ 17 = 100

1700 ÷ 20 = 85

1700 ÷ 25 = 68

1700 ÷ 34 = 50

 

Therefore, the factors of 1700 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 25, 34, 50, 68, 85, 100, 170, 340, 425, 850, 1700.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a 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 1700 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1700 ÷ 2 = 850

850 ÷ 2 = 425

425 ÷ 5 = 85

85 ÷ 5 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1700 are 2, 5, and 17.

 

The prime factorization of 1700 is: 2² × 5² × 17.

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, 1700 is divided by 2 to get 850.

 

Step 2: Now divide 850 by 2 to get 425.

 

Step 3: Then divide 425 by 5 to get 85.

 

Step 4: Divide 85 by 5 to get 17. Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1700 is: 2² × 5² × 17.

 

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 1700: (1, 1700), (2, 850), (4, 425), (5, 340), (10, 170), (17, 100), (20, 85), (25, 68), (34, 50).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1700: (-1, -1700), (-2, -850), (-4, -425), (-5, -340), (-10, -170), (-17, -100), (-20, -85), (-25, -68), (-34, -50).

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every word. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1700, 1 and 1700 is also a factor.

Factors of 1700 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 34 students and 1700 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 50 candies each.

Explanation

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

 

1700/34 = 50

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 25 meters and a total area of 1700 square meters. Find the width?

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

68 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1700 = 25 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 25 to the left side.

 

1700/25 = width

 

Width = 68.

Problem 3

There are 85 boxes and 1700 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 20 marbles.

Explanation

To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles with the boxes.

 

1700/85 = 20
