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 776, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 776?
The numbers that divide 776 evenly are known as factors of 776.
A factor of 776 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 776 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 97, 194, 388, and 776.
Negative factors of 776: -1, -2, -4, -8, -97, -194, -388, and -776.
Prime factors of 776: 2 and 97.
Prime factorization of 776: 23 × 97.
The sum of factors of 776: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 97 + 194 + 388 + 776 = 1470
How to Find Factors of 776?
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 776. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 776 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 776 by 1, 776 × 1 = 776.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 776 after multiplying
2 × 388 = 776
4 × 194 = 776
8 × 97 = 776
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 776 are: (1, 776), (2, 388), (4, 194), (8, 97).
All these factor pair results in 776.
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 results in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 776 by 1, 776 ÷ 1 = 776.
Step 2: Continue dividing 776 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
776 ÷ 1 = 776
776 ÷ 2 = 388
776 ÷ 4 = 194
776 ÷ 8 = 97
Therefore, the factors of 776 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 97, 194, 388, 776.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
The factors can be found by dividing it 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 776 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
776 ÷ 2 = 388
388 ÷ 2 = 194
194 ÷ 2 = 97
97 ÷ 97 = 1
The prime factors of 776 are 2 and 97.
The prime factorization of 776 is: 2^3 × 97.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 776 is divided by 2 to get 388.
Step 2: Now divide 388 by 2 to get 194.
Step 3: Then divide 194 by 2 to get 97. Here, 97 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 776 is: 23 × 97.
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 776: (1, 776), (2, 388), (4, 194), and (8, 97).
Negative factor pairs of 776: (-1, -776), (-2, -388), (-4, -194), and (-8, -97).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 776
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 776, 1 and 776 is also a factor.
Mistake 2
Missing Negative Factors
We have used only to mention positive factors every time. There are also negative factors, always check whether you have mentioned negative factors.
For example, the factors of 776 consist of -1, -2, -4, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fractions also as factors. Only whole numbers can be a factor.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor, because 776/1.5 = 517.333, and it is not a whole number.
Mistake 4
Confusing Factors With Prime Numbers
Remember that factors can be any whole numbers, not only just primes.
For example, thinking all the factors of 776 are prime numbers.
For example, 2 and 97 are the prime factors of 776, but it has other factors like 4, 194.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up in writing wrong factors.
For example, Not breaking 776 as 2^3 × 97 and missing all the key factors.
Factors of 776 Examples
Problem 1
There are 8 friends and 776 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 97 candies each.
Explanation
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.
776/8 = 97
Problem 2
A rectangular garden has a length of 8 meters and a total area of 776 square meters. Find the width?
97 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
776 = 8 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 8 to the left side.
776/8 = width
Width = 97.
Problem 3
There are 97 gift boxes and 776 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 8 candies.
Explanation
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the number of boxes.
776/97 = 8
Problem 4
In a class, there are 776 students and 4 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 194 students in each group.
Explanation
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
776/4 = 194
Problem 5
776 books need to be arranged in 2 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 388 books.
Explanation
Divide total books by shelves.
776/2 = 388
