What are the Factors of 1010?

The numbers that divide 1010 evenly are known as factors of 1010.

 

A factor of 1010 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1010 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 101, 202, 505, and 1010.

 

Negative factors of 1010: -1, -2, -5, -10, -101, -202, -505, and -1010.

 

Prime factors of 1010: 2, 5, and 101.

 

Prime factorization of 1010: 2 × 5 × 101.

 

The sum of factors of 1010: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 101 + 202 + 505 + 1010 = 1836

How to Find Factors of 1010?

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 1010. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1010 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1010 by 1, 1010 × 1 = 1010.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1010 after multiplying

 

2 × 505 = 1010

5 × 202 = 1010

10 × 101 = 1010

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1010 are: (1, 1010), (2, 505), (5, 202), (10, 101).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1010.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 1010 by 1, 1010 ÷ 1 = 1010.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1010 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1010 ÷ 1 = 1010

1010 ÷ 2 = 505

1010 ÷ 5 = 202

1010 ÷ 10 = 101

 

Therefore, the factors of 1010 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 101, 202, 505, 1010.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 1010 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1010 ÷ 2 = 505

505 ÷ 5 = 101

101 ÷ 101 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1010 are 2, 5, and 101.

 

The prime factorization of 1010 is: 2 × 5 × 101.

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, 1010 is divided by 2 to get 505.

 

Step 2: Now divide 505 by 5 to get 101.

 

Step 3: Then divide 101 by 101 to get 1. So, the prime factorization of 1010 is: 2 × 5 × 101.

 

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 1010: (1, 1010), (2, 505), (5, 202), (10, 101).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1010: (-1, -1010), (-2, -505), (-5, -202), (-10, -101).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1010

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 1010, 1 and 1010 are also factors.

Factors of 1010 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 10 teams and 1010 apples. How will they distribute them equally?

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

They will get 101 apples each.

Explanation

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

 

1010/10 = 101

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the width of the garden is 2 meters and the total area is 1010 square meters. Find the length?

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

505 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the garden, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

1010 = length × 2

 

To find the value of length, we need to shift 2 to the left side.

 

1010/2 = length

 

Length = 505.

Problem 3

There are 5 boxes and 1010 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 202 marbles.

Explanation

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

 

1010/5 = 202

Problem 4

In a competition, there are 1010 participants, and they need to be grouped into 101 teams. How many participants are there in each team?

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

There are 10 participants in each team.

Explanation

Dividing the participants with the total teams, we will get the number of participants in each team.

 

1010/101 = 10
