Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 8800. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 8800 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 8800 by 1, 8800 × 1 = 8800.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 8800 after multiplying
2 × 4400 = 8800
4 × 2200 = 8800
5 × 1760 = 8800
8 × 1100 = 8800
10 × 880 = 8800
11 × 800 = 8800
20 × 440 = 8800
25 × 352 = 8800
32 × 275 = 8800
40 × 220 = 8800
44 × 200 = 8800
50 × 176 = 8800
55 × 160 = 8800
80 × 110 = 8800
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 8800 are: (1, 8800), (2, 4400), (4, 2200), (5, 1760), (8, 1100), (10, 880), (11, 800), (20, 440), (25, 352), (32, 275), (40, 220), (44, 200), (50, 176), (55, 160), (80, 110).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the 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 8800 by 1, 8800 ÷ 1 = 8800.
Step 2: Continue dividing 8800 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
8800 ÷ 1 = 8800
8800 ÷ 2 = 4400
8800 ÷ 4 = 2200
8800 ÷ 5 = 1760
8800 ÷ 8 = 1100
8800 ÷ 10 = 880
8800 ÷ 11 = 800
Therefore, the factors of 8800 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 25, 32, 40, 44, 50, 55, 80, 88, 100, 110, 160, 176, 200, 220, 275, 320, 352, 400, 440, 550, 800, 880, 1100, 1760, 2200, 4400, 8800.
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 8800 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
8800 ÷ 2 = 4400
4400 ÷ 2 = 2200
2200 ÷ 2 = 1100
1100 ÷ 2 = 550
550 ÷ 2 = 275
275 ÷ 5 = 55
55 ÷ 5 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
The prime factors of 8800 are 2, 5, and 11.
The prime factorization of 8800 is: 25 × 52 × 11.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 8800 is divided by 2 to get 4400.
Step 2: Now divide 4400 by 2 to get 2200.
Step 3: Then divide 2200 by 2 to get 1100.
Step 4: Divide 1100 by 2 to get 550.
Step 5: Divide 550 by 2 to get 275.
Step 6: Divide 275 by 5 to get 55.
Step 7: Divide 55 by 5 to get 11. Here, 11 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 8800 is: 25 × 52 × 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 8800: (1, 8800), (2, 4400), (4, 2200), (5, 1760), (8, 1100), (10, 880), (11, 800), (20, 440), (25, 352), (32, 275), (40, 220), (44, 200), (50, 176), (55, 160), (80, 110).
Negative factor pairs of 8800: (-1, -8800), (-2, -4400), (-4, -2200), (-5, -1760), (-8, -1100), (-10, -880), (-11, -800), (-20, -440), (-25, -352), (-32, -275), (-40, -220), (-44, -200), (-50, -176), (-55, -160), (-80, -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.
There are 11 teachers and 8800 notebooks. How will they distribute them equally?
They will get 800 notebooks each.
To distribute the notebooks equally, we need to divide the total notebooks by the number of teachers.
8800/11 = 800
A rectangular garden has a length of 40 meters and a total area of 8800 square meters. Find the width?
220 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
8800 = 40 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 40 to the left side.
8800/40 = width
Width = 220.
There are 32 boxes and 8800 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 275 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the boxes.
8800/32 = 275
In a conference, there are 8800 participants and 50 groups. How many participants are there in each group?
There are 176 participants in each group.
Dividing the participants with the total groups, we will get the number of participants in each group.
8800/50 = 176
8800 books need to be arranged in 20 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 440 books.
Divide total books with shelves.
8800/20 = 440
