What are the Factors of 504?

The numbers that divide 504 evenly are known as factors of 504. A factor of 504 is a number that divides the number without a remainder. The factors of 504 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, 36, 42, 56, 63, 72, 84, 126, 168, 252, and 504. Negative factors of 504: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -7, -8, -9, -12, -14, -18, -21, -24, -28, -36, -42, -56, -63, -72, -84, -126, -168, -252, -504. Prime factors of 504: 2, 3, and 7. Prime factorization of 504: 2³ × 3² × 7. The sum of factors of 504: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 28 + 36 + 42 + 56 + 63 + 72 + 84 + 126 + 168 + 252 + 504 = 1440

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 504. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 504 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 504 by 1, 504 × 1 = 504. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 504 after multiplying 2 × 252 = 504 3 × 168 = 504 4 × 126 = 504 6 × 84 = 504 7 × 72 = 504 8 × 63 = 504 9 × 56 = 504 12 × 42 = 504 14 × 36 = 504 18 × 28 = 504 21 × 24 = 504 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 504 are: (1, 504), (2, 252), (3, 168), (4, 126), (6, 84), (7, 72), (8, 63), (9, 56), (12, 42), (14, 36), (18, 28), (21, 24). All these factor pairs result in 504. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with 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 a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 504 by 1, 504 ÷ 1 = 504. Step 2: Continue dividing 504 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 504 ÷ 1 = 504 504 ÷ 2 = 252 504 ÷ 3 = 168 504 ÷ 4 = 126 504 ÷ 6 = 84 504 ÷ 7 = 72 504 ÷ 8 = 63 504 ÷ 9 = 56 504 ÷ 12 = 42 504 ÷ 14 = 36 504 ÷ 18 = 28 504 ÷ 21 = 24 Therefore, the factors of 504 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, 36, 42, 56, 63, 72, 84, 126, 168, 252, 504.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 504 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 504 ÷ 2 = 252 252 ÷ 2 = 126 126 ÷ 2 = 63 63 ÷ 3 = 21 21 ÷ 3 = 7 7 ÷ 7 = 1 The prime factors of 504 are 2, 3, and 7. The prime factorization of 504 is: 2³ × 3² × 7.

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, 504 is divided by 2 to get 252. Step 2: Now divide 252 by 2 to get 126. Step 3: Then divide 126 by 2 to get 63. Step 4: Divide 63 by 3 to get 21. Step 5: Divide 21 by 3 to get 7. Here, 7 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 504 is: 2³ × 3² × 7. 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 504: (1, 504), (2, 252), (3, 168), (4, 126), (6, 84), (7, 72), (8, 63), (9, 56), (12, 42), (14, 36), (18, 28), (21, 24). Negative factor pairs of 504: (-1, -504), (-2, -252), (-3, -168), (-4, -126), (-6, -84), (-7, -72), (-8, -63), (-9, -56), (-12, -42), (-14, -36), (-18, -28), (-21, -24).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 504

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 504, 1 and 504 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 504 apples and 12 baskets. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 42 apples each.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets. 504/12 = 42

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 36 meters and the total area is 504 square meters. Find the width?

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

14 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 504 = 36 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 36 to the left side. 504/36 = width Width = 14.
