What are the Factors of 1196?

The numbers that divide 1196 evenly are known as factors of 1196.

 

A factor of 1196 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1196 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 43, 86, 172, 299, 598, and 1196.

 

Negative factors of 1196: -1, -2, -4, -7, -14, -28, -43, -86, -172, -299, -598, and -1196.

 

Prime factors of 1196: 2, 7, and 43.

 

Prime factorization of 1196: 22 × 7 × 43.

 

The sum of factors of 1196: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 + 28 + 43 + 86 + 172 + 299 + 598 + 1196 = 2450

How to Find Factors of 1196?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1196. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1196 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1196 by 1, 1196 × 1 = 1196.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1196 after multiplying:

2 × 598 = 1196

4 × 299 = 1196

7 × 172 = 1196

14 × 86 = 1196

28 × 43 = 1196

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1196 are: (1, 1196), (2, 598), (4, 299), (7, 172), (14, 86), (28, 43). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1196 by 1, 1196 ÷ 1 = 1196.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1196 by numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1196 ÷ 1 = 1196

1196 ÷ 2 = 598

1196 ÷ 4 = 299

1196 ÷ 7 = 172

1196 ÷ 14 = 86

1196 ÷ 28 = 43

 

Therefore, the factors of 1196 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 43, 86, 172, 299, 598, and 1196.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
     
  • Using a factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1196 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1.

 

1196 ÷ 2 = 598

598 ÷ 2 = 299

299 ÷ 7 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1196 are 2, 7, and 43.

 

The prime factorization of 1196 is: 2^2 × 7 × 43.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 1196 is divided by 2 to get 598.

 

Step 2: Now divide 598 by 2 to get 299.

 

Step 3: Then divide 299 by 7 to get 43.

 

Step 4: 43 is already a prime number. So, the prime factorization of 1196 is: 22 × 7 × 43.

 

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 1196: (1, 1196), (2, 598), (4, 299), (7, 172), (14, 86), and (28, 43).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1196: (-1, -1196), (-2, -598), (-4, -299), (-7, -172), (-14, -86), and (-28, -43).

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 number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1196, 1 and 1196 are also factors.

Factors of 1196 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 28 students and 1196 math problems. How many problems will each student solve if they are divided equally?

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

They will solve 43 problems each.

Explanation

To divide the problems equally, we need to divide the total problems by the number of students.

1196/28 = 43

Problem 2

A rectangular billboard has a length of 172 meters and a total area of 1196 square meters. Find the width.

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

7 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the billboard, we use the formula: Area = length × width

1196 = 172 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 172 to the left side.

1196/172 = width

Width = 7.
