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 1909, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1909 evenly are known as factors of 1909.
A factor of 1909 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1909 are 1, 7, 272, and 1909.
Negative factors of 1909: -1, -7, -272, and -1909.
Prime factors of 1909: 7 and 272.
Prime factorization of 1909: 7 × 272.
The sum of factors of 1909: 1 + 7 + 272 + 1909 = 2189
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 1909. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1909 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1909 by 1, 1909 × 1 = 1909.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1909 after multiplying 7 × 272 = 1909
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1909 are: (1, 1909) and (7, 272). All these factor pairs result in 1909.
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 1909 by 1, 1909 ÷ 1 = 1909.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1909 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1909 ÷ 1 = 1909
1909 ÷ 7 = 272
Therefore, the factors of 1909 are: 1, 7, 272, 1909.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1909 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1909 ÷ 7 = 272
272 ÷ 272 = 1
The prime factors of 1909 are 7 and 272.
The prime factorization of 1909 is: 7 × 272.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1909 is divided by 7 to get 272.
Step 2: 272 is a factor itself, and division by 272 results in 1. So, the prime factorization of 1909 is: 7 × 272.
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 1909: (1, 1909) and (7, 272).
Negative factor pairs of 1909: (-1, -1909) and (-7, -272).
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 7 teams and 1909 total points scored in a tournament. How will they divide the points equally?
They will get 272 points each.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.
1909/7 = 272
A book has 1909 pages. If a person reads 7 pages per day, how many days will it take to finish the book?
272 days.
To find how many days it will take, we divide the total pages by the pages read per day.
1909/7 = 272
A movie theater has 1909 seats, divided into 7 sections. How many seats are in each section?
Each section will have 272 seats.
To find the seats in each section, divide the total seats by the number of sections.
1909/7 = 272
A factory produces 1909 widgets in a batch, packed into boxes of 272 each. How many boxes are needed?
7 boxes are needed.
Dividing the widgets by the capacity of each box, we will get the number of boxes needed.
1909/272 = 7
There are 1909 candies and 272 gift baskets. How many candies will each basket contain?
Each basket will contain 7 candies.
Divide total candies by gift baskets.
1909/272 = 7
