Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 697, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 697 evenly are known as factors of 697.
A factor of 697 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 697 are 1, 17, 41, and 697.
Negative factors of 697: -1, -17, -41, and -697.
Prime factors of 697: 17 and 41.
Prime factorization of 697: 17 × 41.
The sum of factors of 697: 1 + 17 + 41 + 697 = 756
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 697. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 697 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 697 by 1, 697 × 1 = 697.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 697 after multiplying 17 × 41 = 697
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 697 are: (1, 697) and (17, 41).
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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 697 by 1, 697 ÷ 1 = 697.
Step 2: Continue dividing 697 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
697 ÷ 1 = 697
697 ÷ 17 = 41
697 ÷ 41 = 17
Therefore, the factors of 697 are: 1, 17, 41, 697.
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 697 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
697 ÷ 17 = 41
41 ÷ 41 = 1
The prime factors of 697 are 17 and 41.
The prime factorization of 697 is: 17 × 41.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 697 is divided by 17 to get 41.
Step 2: Now divide 41 by 41 to get 1. Here, 41 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 697 is: 17 × 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 697: (1, 697) and (17, 41).
Negative factor pairs of 697: (-1, -697) and (-17, -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 17 friends and 697 marbles. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 41 marbles each.
To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles by the number of friends.
697/17 = 41
A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 41 meters and the total area is 697 square meters. Find the width?
17 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
697 = 41 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 41 to the left side.
697/41 = width
Width = 17.
There are 697 apples and 41 baskets. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 17 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the number of baskets.
697/41 = 17
In a class, there are 697 students, and 17 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 41 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
697/17 = 41
697 books need to be arranged in 17 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 41 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
697/17 = 41
