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 1180, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1180 evenly are known as factors of 1180. A factor of 1180 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 1180 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 59, 118, 236, 295, 590, and 1180.
Negative factors of 1180: -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -20, -59, -118, -236, -295, -590, and -1180.
Prime factors of 1180: 2, 5, and 59.
Prime factorization of 1180: 2 × 2 × 5 × 59.
The sum of factors of 1180: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 59 + 118 + 236 + 295 + 590 + 1180 = 2520
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 1180. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1180 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1180 by 1, 1180 × 1 = 1180.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1180 after multiplying
2 × 590 = 1180
4 × 295 = 1180
5 × 236 = 1180
10 × 118 = 1180
20 × 59 = 1180
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1180 are: (1, 1180), (2, 590), (4, 295), (5, 236), (10, 118), (20, 59). All these factor pairs result in 1180. 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 1180 by 1, 1180 ÷ 1 = 1180.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1180 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1180 ÷ 1 = 1180
1180 ÷ 2 = 590
1180 ÷ 4 = 295
1180 ÷ 5 = 236
1180 ÷ 10 = 118
1180 ÷ 20 = 59
Therefore, the factors of 1180 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 59, 118, 236, 295, 590, 1180.
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 1180 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1180 ÷ 2 = 590
590 ÷ 2 = 295
295 ÷ 5 = 59
59 ÷ 59 = 1
The prime factors of 1180 are 2, 5, and 59. The prime factorization of 1180 is: 2 × 2 × 5 × 59.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1180 is divided by 2 to get 590.
Step 2: Now divide 590 by 2 to get 295.
Step 3: Then divide 295 by 5 to get 59.
Step 4: Since 59 is a prime number, it cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1180 is: 2 × 2 × 5 × 59.
Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
