What are the Factors of 1016?

The numbers that divide 1016 evenly are known as factors of 1016.

 

A factor of 1016 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1016 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508, and 1016.

 

Negative factors of 1016: -1, -2, -4, -8, -127, -254, -508, and -1016.

 

Prime factors of 1016: 2 and 127.

 

Prime factorization of 1016: 2³ × 127.

 

The sum of factors of 1016: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 127 + 254 + 508 + 1016 = 1920

How to Find Factors of 1016?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1016. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1016 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1016 by 1, 1016 × 1 = 1016.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1016 after multiplying     

 

2 × 508 = 1016     

4 × 254 = 1016     

8 × 127 = 1016

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1016 are: (1, 1016), (2, 508), (4, 254), (8, 127).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1016.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number by 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 1016 by 1, 1016 ÷ 1 = 1016.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1016 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1016 ÷ 1 = 1016

1016 ÷ 2 = 508

1016 ÷ 4 = 254

1016 ÷ 8 = 127

 

Therefore, the factors of 1016 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 127, 254, 508, 1016.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing by prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
     
  • Using a factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1016 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1016 ÷ 2 = 508

508 ÷ 2 = 254

254 ÷ 2 = 127

127 ÷ 127 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1016 are 2 and 127.

 

The prime factorization of 1016 is: 2³ × 127.

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 the process

 

Step 1: Firstly, 1016 is divided by 2 to get 508.

 

Step 2: Now divide 508 by 2 to get 254.

 

Step 3: Then divide 254 by 2 to get 127.

 

Step 4: Divide 127, which is a prime number, by itself to get 1. So, the prime factorization of 1016 is: 2³ × 127.

 

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 1016: (1, 1016), (2, 508), (4, 254), (8, 127).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1016: (-1, -1016), (-2, -508), (-4, -254), (-8, -127).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1016

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 1016, 1 and 1016 are also factors.

Factors of 1016 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 8 teams and 1016 points to be distributed. How will they distribute them equally?

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

Each team will receive 127 points.

Explanation

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

 

1016/8 = 127

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 254 meters and the total area is 1016 square meters. Find the width.

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

4 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the plot, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

1016 = 254 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 254 to the left side.

 

1016/254 = width

 

Width = 4.

Problem 3

There are 127 boxes and 1016 apples. How many apples will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 8 apples.

Explanation

To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the number of boxes.

 

1016/127 = 8

In a school, there are 4 classes, and 1016 students. How many students are there in each class?

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

There are 254 students in each class.

Explanation

Dividing the students by the total classes, we will get the number of students in each class.

 

1016/4 = 254
