How to Find Factors of 6480?

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 6480. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 6480 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 6480 by 1, 6480 × 1 = 6480.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 6480 after multiplying:

 

2 × 3240 = 6480

3 × 2160 = 6480

4 × 1620 = 6480

5 × 1296 = 6480

6 × 1080 = 6480 ...

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 6480 include: (1, 6480), (2, 3240), (3, 2160), (4, 1620), (5, 1296), (6, 1080), and so on.

 

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 a simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 6480 by 1, 6480 ÷ 1 = 6480.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 6480 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

6480 ÷ 1 = 6480

6480 ÷ 2 = 3240

6480 ÷ 3 = 2160

6480 ÷ 4 = 1620

6480 ÷ 5 = 1296

6480 ÷ 6 = 1080 ...

 

Therefore, the factors of 6480 include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on.

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 6480 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

6480 ÷ 2 = 3240

3240 ÷ 2 = 1620

1620 ÷ 2 = 810

810 ÷ 2 = 405

405 ÷ 3 = 135

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

 

The prime factors of 6480 are 2, 3, and 5.

 

The prime factorization of 6480 is: 24 × 34 × 5.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show:

 

Step 1: Firstly, 6480 is divided by 2 to get 3240.

 

Step 2: Now divide 3240 by 2 to get 1620.

 

Step 3: Then divide 1620 by 2 to get 810.

 

Step 4: Divide 810 by 2 to get 405.

 

Step 5: Divide 405 by 3 to get 135.

 

Step 6: Divide 135 by 3 to get 45.

 

Step 7: Divide 45 by 3 to get 15.

 

Step 8: Divide 15 by 3 to get 5. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 6480 is: 24 × 34 × 5.

 

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 6480: (1, 6480), (2, 3240), (3, 2160), (4, 1620), (5, 1296), (6, 1080), and so on.

 

Negative factor pairs of 6480: (-1, -6480), (-2, -3240), (-3, -2160), (-4, -1620), (-5, -1296), (-6, -1080), and so on.

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 6480, 1 and 6480 are also factors.

Factors of 6480 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 6480 apples and 324 baskets. How will they divide them equally?

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

They will put 20 apples in each basket.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples with the number of baskets.

 

6480/324 = 20

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 90 meters and a total area of 6480 square meters. Find the width.

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

72 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

6480 = 90 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 90 to the left side.

 

6480/90 = width

 

Width = 72.

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

Each bag will have 36 candies.

Explanation

To find the candies in each bag, divide the total candies by the number of bags.

 

6480/180 = 36
