What are the Factors of 1060?

The numbers that divide 1060 evenly are known as factors of 1060.

 

A factor of 1060 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1060 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 53, 106, 212, 265, 530, and 1060.

 

Negative factors of 1060: -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -20, -53, -106, -212, -265, -530, and -1060.

 

Prime factors of 1060: 2, 5, and 53.

 

Prime factorization of 1060: 2² × 5 × 53.

 

The sum of factors of 1060: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 53 + 106 + 212 + 265 + 530 + 1060 = 2268

How to Find Factors of 1060?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using 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 1060. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1060 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1060 by 1, 1060 × 1 = 1060.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1060 after multiplying    

 

 2 × 530 = 1060     

4 × 265 = 1060     

5 × 212 = 1060     

10 × 106 = 1060     

20 × 53 = 1060

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1060 are: (1, 1060), (2, 530), (4, 265), (5, 212), (10, 106), (20, 53). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers 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 1060 by 1, 1060 ÷ 1 = 1060.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1060 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1060 ÷ 1 = 1060

1060 ÷ 2 = 530

1060 ÷ 4 = 265

1060 ÷ 5 = 212

1060 ÷ 10 = 106

1060 ÷ 20 = 53

 

Therefore, the factors of 1060 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 53, 106, 212, 265, 530, 1060.

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 1060 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1060 ÷ 2 = 530

530 ÷ 2 = 265

265 ÷ 5 = 53

53 ÷ 53 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1060 are 2, 5, and 53.

 

The prime factorization of 1060 is: 2² × 5 × 53.

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, 1060 is divided by 2 to get 530.

 

Step 2: Now divide 530 by 2 to get 265.

 

Step 3: Then divide 265 by 5 to get 53. Here, 53 is the smallest prime number, which cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 1060 is: 2² × 5 × 53.

 

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 1060: (1, 1060), (2, 530), (4, 265), (5, 212), (10, 106), (20, 53).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1060: (-1, -1060), (-2, -530), (-4, -265), (-5, -212), (-10, -106), (-20, -53).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1060

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 1060, 1 and 1060 are also factors.

Factors of 1060 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 53 boxes and 1060 toys. How will they distribute them equally?

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

They will get 20 toys each.

Explanation

To divide the toys equally, we need to divide the total toys by the number of boxes.

 

1060/53 = 20

Problem 2

A rectangular swimming pool has a length of 53 meters, and the total area is 1060 square meters. Find the width.

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

20 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width     

 

1060 = 53 × width     

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 53 to the left side.     

 

1060/53 = width     

 

Width = 20.

Problem 3

There are 4 teams and 1060 points. How many points will each team have if distributed equally?

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

Each team will have 265 points.

Explanation

To find the points each team will have, divide the total points by the number of teams.     

 

1060/4 = 265

Problem 4

In a class, there are 53 students, and 20 groups. How many students are there in each group if arranged equally?

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

There are 2 students in each group.

Explanation

Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.     

 

53/20 = 2.65 (rounding to 2 because groups cannot have fractional students)

Problem 5

1060 books need to be arranged in 53 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?

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

Each of the shelves has 20 books.

Explanation

Divide total books by shelves.     

 

1060/53 = 20
