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 347, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 347 evenly are known as factors of 347.
A factor of 347 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
Since 347 is a prime number, its only factors are 1 and 347.
Negative factors of 347: -1 and -347.
Prime factors of 347: 347 (since it is a prime number itself).
Prime factorization of 347: 347.
The sum of factors of 347: 1 + 347 = 348
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 347. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 347 is the multiplication method. Since 347 is a prime number, the only multiplication that results in 347 is:
Step 1: Multiply 347 by 1, 347 × 1 = 347.
Therefore, the positive factor pair of 347 is: (1, 347).
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 that result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 347 by 1, 347 ÷ 1 = 347.
Step 2: Check for numbers until 347 to see if they divide without remainder.
Since 347 is a prime number, the only whole number factors are 1 and 347.
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, since 347 is a prime number, it cannot be further factorized into other prime numbers.
The prime factors of 347 are 347 itself.
The prime factorization of 347 is: 347.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors.
However, since 347 is a prime number, it does not break down further.
The factor tree for 347 is simply 347 itself, as it cannot be divided by any other prime number.
So, the prime factorization of 347 is: 347.
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 pair of 347: (1, 347).
Negative factor pair of 347: (-1, -347).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A family of 347 people wants to plant a tree each. How many trees do they need?
They need 347 trees.
Each person plants one tree, so the total number of trees needed equals the number of people.
Therefore, 347 trees are required.
A book club has 347 members and wants to organize books equally among them. If each member gets one book, how many books are needed?
347 books are needed.
To allocate one book per member, the total number of books needed equals the number of members.
A bus can carry 347 passengers. If the bus is full, how many seats does it have?
The bus has 347 seats.
Each passenger needs one seat, so the number of seats equals the number of passengers.
An artist creates 347 unique pieces of art and wants to give one to each of their 347 friends. How many pieces are left after distribution?
No pieces are left.
If each friend receives one piece, all 347 pieces are distributed with none remaining.
A stadium has a seating capacity of 347. If each visitor occupies one seat, how many visitors can be accommodated?
347 visitors can be accommodated.
Each seat is occupied by one visitor, so the number of visitors that can be accommodated equals the seating capacity.
