How to Find Factors of 1884?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1884. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1884 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1884 by 1, 1884 × 1 = 1884.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1884 after multiplying
2 × 942 = 1884
3 × 628 = 1884
4 × 471 = 1884
6 × 314 = 1884
9 × 209 = 1884
12 × 157 = 1884
18 × 104 = 1884
27 × 69 = 1884
36 × 52 = 1884
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1884 are: (1, 1884), (2, 942), (3, 628), (4, 471), (6, 314), (9, 209), (12, 157), (18, 104), (27, 69), (36, 52). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers by 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 1884 by 1, 1884 ÷ 1 = 1884.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1884 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1884 ÷ 1 = 1884
1884 ÷ 2 = 942
1884 ÷ 3 = 628
1884 ÷ 4 = 471
1884 ÷ 6 = 314
1884 ÷ 9 = 209
1884 ÷ 12 = 157
1884 ÷ 18 = 104
1884 ÷ 27 = 69
1884 ÷ 36 = 52
Therefore, the factors of 1884 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 47, 54, 94, 141, 188, 282, 423, 564, 847, 1694, 1884.
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 factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1884 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1884 ÷ 2 = 942
942 ÷ 2 = 471
471 ÷ 3 = 157
157 ÷ 47 = 1
The prime factors of 1884 are 2, 3, and 47.
The prime factorization of 1884 is: 2² × 3¹ × 47¹.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1884 is divided by 2 to get 942.
Step 2: Now divide 942 by 2 to get 471.
Step 3: Then divide 471 by 3 to get 157.
Step 4: Divide 157 by 47 to get 1. Here, 157 and 47 are the smallest prime numbers, which cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1884 is: 2² × 3¹ × 47¹.
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 1884: (1, 1884), (2, 942), (3, 628), (4, 471), (6, 314), (9, 209), (12, 157), (18, 104), (27, 69), (36, 52).
Negative factor pairs of 1884: (-1, -1884), (-2, -942), (-3, -628), (-4, -471), (-6, -314), (-9, -209), (-12, -157), (-18, -104), (-27, -69), (-36, -52).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1884
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
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
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 1884, 1 and 1884 are also factors.
Factors of 1884 Examples
Problem 1
There are 18 teams and 1884 points. How will they divide the points equally?
They will get 104 points each.
Explanation
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.
1884/18 = 104
Problem 2
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 36 meters and the total area is 1884 square meters. Find the width?
52 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1884 = 36 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 36 to the left side.
1884/36 = width
Width = 52.
Problem 3
There are 27 crates and 1884 apples. How many apples will be in each crate?
Each crate will have 69 apples.
Explanation
To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples by the crates.
1884/27 = 69
