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 451, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 451 evenly are known as factors of 451.
A factor of 451 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 451 are 1, 11, 41, and 451.
Negative factors of 451: -1, -11, -41, and -451.
Prime factors of 451: 11 and 41.
Prime factorization of 451: 11 × 41.
The sum of factors of 451: 1 + 11 + 41 + 451 = 504
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 451. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 451 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 451 by 1, 451 × 1 = 451.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 451 after multiplying 11 × 41 = 451
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 451 are: (1, 451) and (11, 41).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with 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 451 by 1, 451 ÷ 1 = 451.
Step 2: Continue dividing 451 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
451 ÷ 1 = 451
451 ÷ 11 = 41
Therefore, the factors of 451 are: 1, 11, 41, 451.
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 451 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
451 ÷ 11 = 41
41 ÷ 41 = 1
The prime factors of 451 are 11 and 41.
The prime factorization of 451 is: 11 × 41.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 451 is divided by 11 to get 41.
Step 2: Now divide 41 by 41 to get 1. Here, both 11 and 41 are prime numbers and cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 451 is: 11 × 41.
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 451: (1, 451) and (11, 41).
Negative factor pairs of 451: (-1, -451) and (-11, -41).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 11 friends and 451 pages to read. How can they share the pages equally?
They will each read 41 pages.
To divide the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages by the number of friends.
451/11 = 41
A rectangular garden has a length of 41 meters and the total area is 451 square meters. Find the width.
11 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
451 = 41 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 41 to the left side.
451/41 = width
Width = 11.
There are 41 baskets and 451 apples. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 11 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
451/41 = 11
In a conference, there are 451 participants, and 11 rooms. How many participants are there in each room?
There are 41 participants in each room.
Dividing the participants by the total rooms, we will get the number of participants in each room.
451/11 = 41
451 books need to be arranged in 41 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 11 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
451/41 = 11
