How to Find Factors of 1582?

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 1582. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1582 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1582 by 1, 1582 × 1 = 1582.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1582 after multiplying:

 

2 × 791 = 1582

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1582 are: (1, 1582) and (2, 791).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with 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 1582 by 1, 1582 ÷ 1 = 1582.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1582 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1582 ÷ 1 = 1582

1582 ÷ 2 = 791

 

Therefore, the factors of 1582 are: 1, 2, 791, and 1582.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing 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 1582 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1582 ÷ 2 = 791

 

791 is a prime number.

 

The prime factors of 1582 are 2 and 791.

 

The prime factorization of 1582 is: 2 × 791.

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, 1582 is divided by 2 to get 791.

 

Step 2: 791 is a prime number, so it cannot be divided further.

So, the prime factorization of 1582 is: 2 × 791.

 

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 1582: (1, 1582) and (2, 791).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1582: (-1, -1582) and (-2, -791).

Problem 1

There are 1582 apples and 2 baskets. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 791 apples each.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets.

 

1582/2 = 791

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 791 meters and a total area of 1582 square meters. Find the width.

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

2 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1582 = 791 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 791 to the left side.

 

1582/791 = width

 

Width = 2.
