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 414, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 414 evenly are known as factors of 414.
A factor of 414 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 414 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 23, 46, 69, 138, 207, and 414.
Negative factors of 414: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -18, -23, -46, -69, -138, -207, and -414.
Prime factors of 414: 2, 3, and 23.
Prime factorization of 414: 2 × 3 × 3 × 23.
The sum of factors of 414: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 18 + 23 + 46 + 69 + 138 + 207 + 414 = 936
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 414. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 414 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 414 by 1, 414 × 1 = 414.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 414 after multiplying
2 × 207 = 414
3 × 138 = 414
6 × 69 = 414
9 × 46 = 414
18 × 23 = 414
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 414 are: (1, 414), (2, 207), (3, 138), (6, 69), (9, 46), and (18, 23).
All these factor pairs result in 414.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 414 by 1, 414 ÷ 1 = 414.
Step 2: Continue dividing 414 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
414 ÷ 1 = 414
414 ÷ 2 = 207
414 ÷ 3 = 138
414 ÷ 6 = 69
414 ÷ 9 = 46
414 ÷ 18 = 23
Therefore, the factors of 414 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 23, 46, 69, 138, 207, 414.
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 414 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
414 ÷ 2 = 207
207 ÷ 3 = 69
69 ÷ 3 = 23
23 ÷ 23 = 1
The prime factors of 414 are 2, 3, and 23.
The prime factorization of 414 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 23.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 414 is divided by 2 to get 207.
Step 2: Now divide 207 by 3 to get 69.
Step 3: Then divide 69 by 3 to get 23. Here, 23 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 414 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 23.
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 414: (1, 414), (2, 207), (3, 138), (6, 69), (9, 46), and (18, 23).
Negative factor pairs of 414: (-1, -414), (-2, -207), (-3, -138), (-6, -69), (-9, -46), and (-18, -23).
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 12 friends and 414 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 34.5 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.
414/12 = 34.5
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 18 meters, and the total area is 414 square meters. Find the width.
23 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
414 = 18 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 18 to the left side.
414/18 = width
Width = 23.
There are 69 backpacks and 414 pencils. How many pencils will be in each backpack?
Each backpack will have 6 pencils.
To find the pencils in each backpack, divide the total pencils by the backpacks.
414/69 = 6
In a class, there are 414 students, and 23 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 18 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
414/23 = 18
414 books need to be arranged in 9 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 46 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
414/9 = 46
