The sum of factors of 1905: 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 + 127 + 381 + 635 + 1905 = 3072
How to Find Factors of 1905?
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 1905. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1905 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1905 by 1, 1905 × 1 = 1905.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1905 after multiplying
3 × 635 = 1905
5 × 381 = 1905
15 × 127 = 1905
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1905 are: (1, 1905), (3, 635), (5, 381), (15, 127).
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 result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1905 by 1, 1905 ÷ 1 = 1905.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1905 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1905 ÷ 1 = 1905
1905 ÷ 3 = 635
1905 ÷ 5 = 381
1905 ÷ 15 = 127
Therefore, the factors of 1905 are: 1, 3, 5, 15, 127, 381, 635, 1905.
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 1905 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1905 ÷ 3 = 635
635 ÷ 5 = 127
127 ÷ 127 = 1
The prime factors of 1905 are 3, 5, and 127.
The prime factorization of 1905 is: 3 × 5 × 127.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1905 is divided by 3 to get 635.
Step 2: Now divide 635 by 5 to get 127.
Step 3: 127 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1905 is: 3 × 5 × 127.
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 1905: (1, 1905), (3, 635), (5, 381), and (15, 127).
Negative factor pairs of 1905: (-1, -1905), (-3, -635), (-5, -381), and (-15, -127).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1905
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 1905, 1 and 1905 are also factors.
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 1905 consist of -1, -3, -5, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fractions also as factors. Only whole numbers can be factors.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor, because 1905/1.5 does not result in 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 1905 are prime numbers. In fact, 3, 5, and 127 are prime factors of 1905, but it has other factors like 15, 381.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up writing wrong factors.
For example, not breaking 1905 as 3 × 5 × 127 and missing key factors.
Factors of 1905 Examples
Problem 1
A company has 1905 promotional items and wants to distribute them evenly among 15 branches. How many items will each branch receive?
Each branch will receive 127 items.
Explanation
To divide the items equally, we need to divide the total items by the number of branches.
1905/15 = 127
Problem 2
A rectangular plot of land has a length of 127 meters and a total area of 1905 square meters. What is the width?
15 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the plot, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1905 = 127 × width
To find the value of width, we need to divide the area by the length.
1905/127 = width
Width = 15.
Problem 3
A group of 5 friends wants to divide 1905 marbles equally. How many marbles will each friend get?
Each friend will get 381 marbles.
Explanation
To find the marbles each friend will get, divide the total marbles by the number of friends.
1905/5 = 381
Problem 4
There are 3 warehouses and 1905 boxes to distribute. How many boxes will go to each warehouse?
Each warehouse will receive 635 boxes.
Explanation
Dividing the boxes by the total warehouses, we will get the number of boxes in each warehouse.
1905/3 = 635
Problem 5
A library has 1905 books and wants to arrange them on 5 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves will have 381 books.
