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 701, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 701 evenly are known as factors of 701.
A factor of 701 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 701 are 1 and 701.
Negative factors of 701: -1 and -701.
Prime factor of 701: 701 (since 701 is a prime number).
Prime factorization of 701: 701.
The sum of factors of 701: 1 + 701 = 702
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 701. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 701 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 701 by 1, 701 × 1 = 701. Since 701 is a prime number, it has no other pairs aside from (1, 701).
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 701 are: (1, 701). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number by whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 701 by 1, 701 ÷ 1 = 701. Since 701 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by any number other than 1 and itself without leaving a remainder.
Therefore, the factors of 701 are: 1 and 701.
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 701 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
701 is a prime number, so its only prime factor is 701 itself.
The prime factorization of 701 is: 701.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 701 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further using a factor tree. So, the prime factorization of 701 is: 701.
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 701: (1, 701).
Negative factor pair of 701: (-1, -701).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 701 apples and 1 basket. How many apples will fit into the basket?
All 701 apples will fit into the basket.
Since there is only one basket, you place all apples into it.
701/1 = 701
A line of 701 meters is to be divided into 1 equal section. What is the length of each section?
701 meters.
To divide the line into equal sections, we divide the total length by the number of sections,
701/1 = 701
There are 701 pages in a book and 1 bookmark. How many pages can each bookmark mark?
The bookmark can mark all 701 pages.
To find the number of pages each bookmark can mark,
701/1 = 701
In a tournament, there are 701 players. If there is only 1 prize, how many players will win?
Only 1 player will win.
Divide the total number of players by the number of prizes,
701/1 = 701
701 chairs need to be placed in 1 row. How many chairs will be in the row?
All 701 chairs will be in the row.
Place all chairs in the one row available,
701/1 = 701
