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 1926, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1926 evenly are known as factors of 1926.
A factor of 1926 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1926 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 29, 33, 58, 66, 87, 174, 319, 638, 963, and 1926.
Negative factors of 1926: -1, -2, -3, -6, -11, -22, -29, -33, -58, -66, -87, -174, -319, -638, -963, and -1926.
Prime factors of 1926: 2, 3, 11, and 29.
Prime factorization of 1926: 2 × 3 × 11 × 29.
The sum of factors of 1926: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 11 + 22 + 29 + 33 + 58 + 66 + 87 + 174 + 319 + 638 + 963 + 1926 = 4340
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 1926. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1926 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1926 by 1, 1926 × 1 = 1926.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1926 after multiplying
2 × 963 = 1926
3 × 642 = 1926
6 × 321 = 1926
11 × 175 = 1926 and so on.
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1926 are: (1, 1926), (2, 963), (3, 642), (6, 321), (11, 175), etc.
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 1926 by 1, 1926 ÷ 1 = 1926.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1926 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1926 ÷ 1 = 1926
1926 ÷ 2 = 963
1926 ÷ 3 = 642
1926 ÷ 6 = 321
1926 ÷ 11 = 175
Therefore, the factors of 1926 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 29, 33, 58, 66, 87, 174, 319, 638, 963, and 1926.
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 1926 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1926 ÷ 2 = 963
963 ÷ 3 = 321
321 ÷ 3 = 107
107 ÷ 107 = 1
The prime factors of 1926 are 2, 3, 11, and 29.
The prime factorization of 1926 is: 2 × 3 × 11 × 29.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1926 is divided by 2 to get 963.
Step 2: Now divide 963 by 3 to get 321.
Step 3: Then divide 321 by 3 to get 107.
Step 4: Divide 107 by 107 to get 1. Here, 107 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1926 is: 2 × 3 × 11 × 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 1926: (1, 1926), (2, 963), (3, 642), (6, 321), (11, 175), etc.
Negative factor pairs of 1926: (-1, -1926), (-2, -963), (-3, -642), (-6, -321), (-11, -175), etc.
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 concert hall has 321 chairs and there are 1926 attendees. How many people will share each chair?
Each chair will accommodate 6 people.
To determine how many people will share each chair, divide the total number of attendees by the number of chairs.
1926/321 = 6
A rectangular garden has an area of 1926 square meters. If the length is 29 meters, what is the width?
The width is 66 meters.
To find the width of the garden, use the formula,
Area = length × width
1926 = 29 × width
To find the width, divide the area by the length.
1926/29 = width
Width = 66.
A storage room has 87 boxes, each containing 22 items. How many items are there in total?
There are 1914 items in total.
To find the total number of items, multiply the number of boxes by the items in each box.
87 × 22 = 1914
A school has 638 students, and they are to be divided evenly into groups. If each group has 29 students, how many groups are there?
There are 22 groups.
To find the number of groups, divide the total number of students by the number of students per group.
638/29 = 22
1926 toys need to be distributed equally among 33 children. How many toys will each child get?
Each child will receive 58 toys.
Divide the total number of toys by the number of children.
1926/33 = 58
