What are the Factors of 230?

The numbers that divide 230 evenly are known as factors of 230.

 

A factor of 230 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 230 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 46, 115, and 230.

 

Negative factors of 230: -1, -2, -5, -10, -23, -46, -115, and -230.

 

Prime factors of 230: 2, 5, and 23.

 

Prime factorization of 230: 2 × 5 × 23.

 

The sum of factors of 230: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 23 + 46 + 115 + 230 = 432

How to Find Factors of 230?

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 230. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 230 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 230 by 1, 230 × 1 = 230.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 230 after multiplying

 

2 × 115 = 230

5 × 46 = 230

10 × 23 = 230

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 230 are: (1, 230), (2, 115), (5, 46), (10, 23).

 

All these factor pairs result in 230.

 

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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 230 by 1, 230 ÷ 1 = 230.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 230 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

230 ÷ 1 = 230

230 ÷ 2 = 115

230 ÷ 5 = 46

230 ÷ 10 = 23

 

Therefore, the factors of 230 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 46, 115, 230.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. 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 230 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1.

 

230 ÷ 2 = 115

115 ÷ 5 = 23

23 ÷ 23 = 1

 

The prime factors of 230 are 2, 5, and 23.

 

The prime factorization of 230 is: 2 × 5 × 23.

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, 230 is divided by 2 to get 115.

 

Step 2: Now divide 115 by 5 to get 23.

 

Step 3: As 23 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further.

 

So, the prime factorization of 230 is: 2 × 5 × 23.

 

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 230: (1, 230), (2, 115), (5, 46), (10, 23).

 

Negative factor pairs of 230: (-1, -230), (-2, -115), (-5, -46), (-10, -23).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 230

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

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 230, 1 and 230 is also a factor.

Problem 1

There are 10 teams and 230 points. How will they divide it equally?

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

Each team will get 23 points.

Explanation

To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.

 

230/10 = 23

Problem 2

A banner is rectangular, the length of the banner is 5 meters and the total area is 230 square meters. Find the width?

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

46 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the banner, we use the formula, Area = length × width

 

230 = 5 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 5 to the left side.

 

230/5 = width

 

Width = 46.

Problem 3

There are 23 boxes and 230 items. How many items will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 10 items.

Explanation

To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the boxes.

 

230/23 = 10
