What are the Factors of 700?

The numbers that divide 700 evenly are known as factors of 700.

 

A factor of 700 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 700 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 25, 28, 35, 50, 70, 100, 140, 175, 350, and 700.

 

Negative factors of 700: -1, -2, -4, -5, -7, -10, -14, -20, -25, -28, -35, -50, -70, -100, -140, -175, -350, and -700.

 

Prime factors of 700: 2, 5, and 7.

 

Prime factorization of 700: 2² × 5² × 7.

 

The sum of factors of 700: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 10 + 14 + 20 + 25 + 28 + 35 + 50 + 70 + 100 + 140 + 175 + 350 + 700 = 1646

How to Find Factors of 700?

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 700. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 700 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 700 by 1, 700 × 1 = 700.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 700 after multiplying

 

2 × 350 = 700

4 × 175 = 700

5 × 140 = 700

7 × 100 = 700

10 × 70 = 700

14 × 50 = 700

20 × 35 = 700

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 700 are: (1, 700), (2, 350), (4, 175), (5, 140), (7, 100), (10, 70), (14, 50), (20, 35).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Divide the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and list out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following this simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 700 by 1, 700 ÷ 1 = 700.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 700 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

700 ÷ 1 = 700

700 ÷ 2 = 350

700 ÷ 4 = 175

700 ÷ 5 = 140

700 ÷ 7 = 100

700 ÷ 10 = 70

700 ÷ 14 = 50

700 ÷ 20 = 35

 

Therefore, the factors of 700 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 25, 28, 35, 50, 70, 100, 140, 175, 350, 700.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with 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 700 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

700 ÷ 2 = 350

350 ÷ 2 = 175

175 ÷ 5 = 35

35 ÷ 5 = 7

7 ÷ 7 = 1

 

The prime factors of 700 are 2, 5, and 7.

 

The prime factorization of 700 is: 2² × 5² × 7.

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, 700 is divided by 2 to get 350.

 

Step 2: Now divide 350 by 2 to get 175.

 

Step 3: Then divide 175 by 5 to get 35.

 

Step 4: Divide 35 by 5 to get 7. Here, 7 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 700 is: 2² × 5² × 7.

 

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 700: (1, 700), (2, 350), (4, 175), (5, 140), (7, 100), (10, 70), (14, 50), (20, 35).

 

Negative factor pairs of 700: (-1, -700), (-2, -350), (-4, -175), (-5, -140), (-7, -100), (-10, -70), (-14, -50), (-20, -35).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 700

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 700, 1 and 700 are also factors.

Factors of 700 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

There are 7 teams, and a total of 700 points are scored in a tournament. How many points will each team have if they are distributed equally?

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

Each team will have 100 points.

Explanation

To distribute the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.

 

700/7 = 100

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 50 meters and a total area of 700 square meters. Find the width of the garden.

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

14 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

700 = 50 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 50 to the left side.

 

700/50 = width

 

Width = 14.

Problem 3

There are 25 bags and 700 apples. How many apples will be in each bag?

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

Each bag will have 28 apples.

Explanation

To find the apples in each bag, divide the total apples by the bags.

 

700/25 = 28

Problem 4

In a class, there are 35 students, and they collectively have 700 pencils. How many pencils does each student have?

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

Each student has 20 pencils.

Explanation

Dividing the pencils by the total number of students, we will get the number of pencils each student has.

 

700/35 = 20
