Factors of 1921
Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1921, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1921?
The numbers that divide 1921 evenly are known as factors of 1921.
A factor of 1921 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1921 are 1, 11, 17, 121, 187, and 1921.
Negative factors of 1921: -1, -11, -17, -121, -187, and -1921.
Prime factors of 1921: 11 and 17.
Prime factorization of 1921: 11 × 17.
The sum of factors of 1921: 1 + 11 + 17 + 121 + 187 + 1921 = 2258
How to Find Factors of 1921?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1921. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1921 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1921 by 1, 1921 × 1 = 1921.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1921 after multiplying
11 × 17 = 1921
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1921 are: (1, 1921), (11, 17). 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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1921 by 1, 1921 ÷ 1 = 1921.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1921 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1921 ÷ 1 = 1921
1921 ÷ 11 = 17
1921 ÷ 17 = 11
Therefore, the factors of 1921 are: 1, 11, 17, 121, 187, and 1921.
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 1921 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 1921 ÷ 11 = 17 17 ÷ 17 = 1 The prime factors of 1921 are 11 and 17. The prime factorization of 1921 is: 11 × 17.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show
Step 1: Firstly, 1921 is divided by 11 to get 17.
Step 2: Now, 17 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1921 is: 11 × 17.
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 1921: (1, 1921), (11, 17).
Negative factor pairs of 1921: (-1, -1921), (-11, -17).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1921
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 the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1921, 1 and 1921 are also factors.
Factors of 1921 Examples
Problem 1
A teacher has 1921 pencils and wants to distribute them evenly among 11 classes. How many pencils will each class receive?
Each class will receive 17 pencils.
Explanation
To divide the pencils equally, we need to divide the total number of pencils by the number of classes.
1921 ÷ 11 = 17
Problem 2
A rectangular garden has a length of 17 meters and an area of 1921 square meters. What is the width of the garden?
The width is 113 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1921 = 17 × width
To find the value of width, we need to divide the area by the length.
1921 ÷ 17 = width
Width = 113
Problem 3
A library has 1921 books and 17 shelves. How many books will be on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 113 books.
Explanation
To find the number of books on each shelf, divide the total number of books by the number of shelves.
1921 ÷ 17 = 113
Problem 4
In a stadium, there are 1921 seats and 121 rows. How many seats are there in each row?
There are 16 seats in each row.
Explanation
Dividing the seats by the number of rows, we will get the number of seats in each row.
1921 ÷ 121 = 16
Problem 5
A batch of 1921 cupcakes needs to be arranged in boxes, each containing 11 cupcakes. How many boxes are needed?
175 boxes are needed.
Explanation
Divide the total cupcakes by the number of cupcakes per box.
1921 ÷ 11 = 175
