What are the Factors of 1704?

The numbers that divide 1704 evenly are known as factors of 1704.

 

A factor of 1704 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1704 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 284, 426, 568, 852, and 1704.

 

Negative factors of 1704: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, -17, -24, -34, -51, -68, -102, -136, -204, -284, -426, -568, -852, and -1704.

 

Prime factors of 1704: 2, 3, and 71.

 

Prime factorization of 1704: 23 × 3 × 71.

 

The sum of factors of 1704: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 17 + 24 + 34 + 51 + 68 + 102 + 136 + 204 + 284 + 426 + 568 + 852 + 1704 = 4503

How to Find Factors of 1704?

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 are multiplied to give 1704. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1704 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1704 by 1, 1704 × 1 = 1704.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1704 after multiplying:

 

2 × 852 = 1704

3 × 568 = 1704

4 × 426 = 1704

6 × 284 = 1704

8 × 213 = 1704

12 × 142 = 1704

17 × 100.235 (not a factor) Continue similarly with other divisors...

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1704 are: (1, 1704), (2, 852), (3, 568), (4, 426), (6, 284), (8, 213), (12, 142), (17, 100.235), (24, 71).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1704.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the 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 the simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 1704 by 1, 1704 ÷ 1 = 1704.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1704 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1704 ÷ 1 = 1704

1704 ÷ 2 = 852

1704 ÷ 3 = 568

1704 ÷ 4 = 426

1704 ÷ 6 = 284

1704 ÷ 8 = 213

1704 ÷ 12 = 142

1704 ÷ 17 = 100.235 (not a factor)

 

Therefore, the factors of 1704 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 284, 426, 568, 852, 1704.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 1704 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1704 ÷ 2 = 852

852 ÷ 2 = 426

426 ÷ 2 = 213

213 ÷ 3 = 71

71 ÷ 71 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1704 are 2, 3, and 71.

 

The prime factorization of 1704 is: 23 × 3 × 71.

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, 1704 is divided by 2 to get 852.

 

Step 2: Now divide 852 by 2 to get 426.

Step 3: Then divide 426 by 2 to get 213. Step 4: Divide 213 by 3 to get 71. Here, 71 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1704 is: 23 × 3 × 71.

 

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 1704: (1, 1704), (2, 852), (3, 568), (4, 426), (6, 284), (8, 213), (12, 142), (17, 100.235), (24, 71).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1704: (-1, -1704), (-2, -852), (-3, -568), (-4, -426), (-6, -284), (-8, -213), (-12, -142), (-17, -100.235), (-24, -71).

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

People 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 1704, 1 and 1704 are also factors.

Factors of 1704 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 3 teachers and 1704 pencils. How will they divide them equally?

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

They will get 568 pencils each.

Explanation

To divide the pencils equally, we need to divide the total pencils by the number of teachers.

 

1704/3 = 568

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 24 meters and the total area is 1704 square meters. Find the width.

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

71 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1704 = 24 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 24 to the left side.

 

1704/24 = width

 

Width = 71.

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

Each crate will have 213 apples.

Explanation

To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples by the crates.

 

1704/8 = 213
