What are the Factors of 1480?

The numbers that divide 1480 evenly are known as factors of 1480.

 

A factor of 1480 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1480 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 37, 40, 74, 74, 148, 185, 296, 370, 740, and 1480.

 

Negative factors of 1480: -1, -2, -4, -5, -8, -10, -20, -37, -40, -74, -148, -185, -296, -370, -740, and -1480.

 

Prime factors of 1480: 2, 5, and 37.

 

Prime factorization of 1480: (23 times 5 times 37).

 

The sum of factors of 1480: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 20 + 37 + 40 + 74 + 148 + 185 + 296 + 370 + 740 + 1480 = 3420

How to Find Factors of 1480?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1480. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1480 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1480 by 1, 1480 × 1 = 1480.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1480 after multiplying

2 × 740 = 1480

4 × 370 = 1480

5 × 296 = 1480

8 × 185 = 1480

10 × 148 = 1480

20 × 74 = 1480

37 × 40 = 1480

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1480 are: (1, 1480), (2, 740), (4, 370), (5, 296), (8, 185), (10, 148), (20, 74), (37, 40). All these factor pairs result in 1480.

 

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 1480 by 1, 1480 ÷ 1 = 1480.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1480 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1480 ÷ 1 = 1480

1480 ÷ 2 = 740

1480 ÷ 4 = 370

1480 ÷ 5 = 296

1480 ÷ 8 = 185

1480 ÷ 10 = 148

1480 ÷ 20 = 74

1480 ÷ 37 = 40

 

Therefore, the factors of 1480 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 37, 40, 74, 148, 185, 296, 370, 740, 1480.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it 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 1480 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1480 ÷ 2 = 740

740 ÷ 2 = 370

370 ÷ 2 = 185

185 ÷ 5 = 37

37 ÷ 37 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1480 are 2, 5, and 37.

 

The prime factorization of 1480 is: (23 times 5 times 37).

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, 1480 is divided by 2 to get 740.

 

Step 2: Now divide 740 by 2 to get 370.

 

Step 3: Then divide 370 by 2 to get 185.

 

Step 4: Divide 185 by 5 to get 37. Here, 37 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1480 is: (23 times 5 times 37).

 

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 1480: (1, 1480), (2, 740), (4, 370), (5, 296), (8, 185), (10, 148), (20, 74), and (37, 40).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1480: (-1, -1480), (-2, -740), (-4, -370), (-5, -296), (-8, -185), (-10, -148), (-20, -74), and (-37, -40).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1480

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 1480, 1 and 1480 are also factors.
