For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number 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 7700 by 1, 7700 ÷ 1 = 7700.
Step 2: Continue dividing 7700 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
7700 ÷ 1 = 7700
7700 ÷ 2 = 3850
7700 ÷ 4 = 1925
7700 ÷ 5 = 1540
7700 ÷ 7 = 1100
7700 ÷ 10 = 770
7700 ÷ 11 = 700
7700 ÷ 14 = 550
7700 ÷ 20 = 385
7700 ÷ 22 = 350
7700 ÷ 28 = 275
7700 ÷ 35 = 220
7700 ÷ 44 = 175
7700 ÷ 55 = 140
7700 ÷ 70 = 110
Therefore, the factors of 7700 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14, 20, 22, 28, 35, 44, 55, 70, 77, 100, 110, 140, 154, 220, 275, 308, 385, 550, 770, 1100, 1540, 1925, 3850, and 7700.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 7700 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
7700 ÷ 2 = 3850
3850 ÷ 2 = 1925
1925 ÷ 5 = 385
385 ÷ 5 = 77
77 ÷ 7 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
The prime factors of 7700 are 2, 5, 7, and 11.
The prime factorization of 7700 is: 2² × 5² × 7 × 11.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 7700 is divided by 2 to get 3850.
Step 2: Now divide 3850 by 2 to get 1925.
Step 3: Then divide 1925 by 5 to get 385.
Step 4: Divide 385 by 5 to get 77.
Step 5: Divide 77 by 7 to get 11. Here, 11 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided further.
So, the prime factorization of 7700 is: 2² × 5² × 7 × 11.
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 7700: (1, 7700), (2, 3850), (4, 1925), (5, 1540), (7, 1100), (10, 770), (11, 700), (14, 550), (20, 385), (22, 350), (28, 275), (35, 220), (44, 175), (55, 140), (70, 110).
Negative factor pairs of 7700: (-1, -7700), (-2, -3850), (-4, -1925), (-5, -1540), (-7, -1100), (-10, -770), (-11, -700), (-14, -550), (-20, -385), (-22, -350), (-28, -275), (-35, -220), (-44, -175), (-55, -140), (-70, -110).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A theater has 7700 seats and wants to arrange them in sections of 11 seats each. How many sections will there be?
There will be 700 sections.
To find the number of sections, we need to divide the total seats by the number of seats in each section.
7700/11 = 700
A gardener has 7700 flowers and wants to plant them in 110 rows. How many flowers will be in each row?
70 flowers.
To find the number of flowers in each row, we use the formula:
Total flowers = rows × flowers per row
7700 = 110 × flowers per row
To find the value of flowers per row, we need to shift 110 to the left side.
7700/110 = flowers per row
Flowers per row = 70.
A storage facility has 7700 boxes and needs to distribute them among 385 shelves. How many boxes will be on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 20 boxes.
To find the boxes on each shelf, divide the total boxes by the number of shelves.
7700/385 = 20
A classroom has 7700 pencils, and each student needs 5 pencils. How many students can be provided with pencils?
1540 students can be provided with pencils.
Dividing the total pencils by the pencils each student needs, we will get the number of students who can be provided with pencils.
7700/5 = 1540
A library has 7700 books and wants to arrange them in 22 sections evenly. How many books will be in each section?
Each section will have 350 books.
Divide total books by sections.
7700/22 = 350
