What are the Factors of 717?

The numbers that divide 717 evenly are known as factors of 717.

 

A factor of 717 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 717 are 1, 3, 239, and 717.

 

Negative factors of 717: -1, -3, -239, and -717.

 

Prime factors of 717: 3 and 239.

 

Prime factorization of 717: 3 × 239.

 

The sum of factors of 717: 1 + 3 + 239 + 717 = 960

How to Find Factors of 717?

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 multiply to give 717. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 717 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 717 by 1, 717 × 1 = 717.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 717 after multiplying 3 × 239 = 717

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 717 are: (1, 717), (3, 239).

 

All these factor pairs result in 717.

 

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 717 by 1, 717 ÷ 1 = 717.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 717 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 717 ÷ 1 = 717 717 ÷ 3 = 239

 

Therefore, the factors of 717 are: 1, 3, 239, 717.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing by 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 717 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 717 ÷ 3 = 239 239 is a prime number.

 

The prime factors of 717 are 3 and 239. The prime factorization of 717 is: 3 × 239.

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, 717 is divided by 3 to get 239. Here, 239 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 717 is: 3 × 239.

 

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 717: (1, 717), (3, 239).

 

Negative factor pairs of 717: (-1, -717), (-3, -239).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 717

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

 

For example, in factors of 717, 1 and 717 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 3 teams and 717 participants. How will they divide equally among the teams?

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

They will get 239 participants each.

Explanation

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

717/3 = 239

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a total area of 717 square meters and a width of 3 meters. Find the length.

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

239 meters.

Explanation

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

Area = length × width 717 = length × 3

To find the value of the length, we need to shift 3 to the left side. 717/3 = length Length = 239.

Problem 3

There are 717 kg of grain and 239 bags. How many kg will be in each bag?

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

Each bag will have 3 kg of grain.

Explanation

To find the grain in each bag, divide the total grain by the number of bags. 717/239 = 3

Problem 4

In a class, there are 717 students, and they need to be divided into groups of 239. How many groups will there be?

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

There will be 3 groups.

Explanation

Dividing the students by the number of students per group, we will get the number of groups.

717/239 = 3
