Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1456, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1456 evenly are known as factors of 1456.
A factor of 1456 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1456 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 29, 52, 58, 104, 116, 208, 232, 377, 464, 754, and 1456.
Negative factors of 1456: -1, -2, -4, -8, -13, -16, -26, -29, -52, -58, -104, -116, -208, -232, -377, -464, -754, and -1456.
Prime factors of 1456: 2, 13, and 29.
Prime factorization of 1456: \(2^4 \times 13 \times 29\).
The sum of factors of 1456: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 13 + 16 + 26 + 29 + 52 + 58 + 104 + 116 + 208 + 232 + 377 + 464 + 754 + 1456 = 3920
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 1456. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1456 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1456 by 1, 1456 × 1 = 1456.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1456 after multiplying
2 × 728 = 1456
4 × 364 = 1456
8 × 182 = 1456
13 × 112 = 1456
16 × 91 = 1456
26 × 56 = 1456
29 × 50.206 = 1456 (not a valid factor pair)
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1456 are: (1, 1456), (2, 728), (4, 364), (8, 182), (13, 112), (16, 91), and (26, 56). All these factor pairs result in 1456.
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 1456 by 1, 1456 ÷ 1 = 1456.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1456 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1456 ÷ 1 = 1456
1456 ÷ 2 = 728
1456 ÷ 4 = 364
1456 ÷ 8 = 182
1456 ÷ 13 = 112
1456 ÷ 16 = 91
1456 ÷ 26 = 56
Therefore, the factors of 1456 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 29, 52, 58, 104, 116, 208, 232, 377, 464, 754, and 1456.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1456 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1456 ÷ 2 = 728
728 ÷ 2 = 364
364 ÷ 2 = 182
182 ÷ 2 = 91
91 ÷ 13 = 7
7 ÷ 7 = 1
The prime factors of 1456 are 2, 13, and 29.
The prime factorization of 1456 is: \(2^4 \times 13 \times 29\).
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1456 is divided by 2 to get 728.
Step 2: Now divide 728 by 2 to get 364.
Step 3: Then divide 364 by 2 to get 182.
Step 4: Divide 182 by 2 to get 91.
Step 5: Divide 91 by 13 to get 7.
Here, 7 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1456 is: \(2^4 \times 13 \times 29\).
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 1456: (1, 1456), (2, 728), (4, 364), (8, 182), (13, 112), (16, 91), (26, 56).
Negative factor pairs of 1456: (-1, -1456), (-2, -728), (-4, -364), (-8, -182), (-13, -112), (-16, -91), (-26, -56).
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 music festival has 1456 tickets and 13 different performances. How many tickets can be allocated to each performance?
Each performance can have 112 tickets.
To divide the tickets equally among performances, we need to divide the total tickets by the number of performances.
1456 ÷ 13 = 112
A rectangular garden has a length of 56 meters and a total area of 1456 square meters. Find the width.
The width is 26 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1456 = 56 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 56 to the left side.
1456 ÷ 56 = width
Width = 26.
A warehouse has 16 sections and 1456 crates. How many crates will be in each section?
Each section will have 91 crates.
To find the crates in each section, divide the total crates by the sections.
1456 ÷ 16 = 91
A conference hall accommodates 1456 people and has 8 entrances. How many people should use each entrance?
182 people should use each entrance.
Dividing the total attendees by the number of entrances, we will get the number of people per entrance.
1456 ÷ 8 = 182
There are 1456 pages to be printed by 4 printers. How many pages should each printer print?
Each printer should print 364 pages.
Divide total pages by the number of printers.
1456 ÷ 4 = 364
