Factors of 1895
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 1895, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1895?
The numbers that divide 1895 evenly are known as factors of 1895.
A factor of 1895 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1895 are 1, 5, 379, and 1895.
Negative factors of 1895: -1, -5, -379, and -1895.
Prime factors of 1895: 5 and 379.
Prime factorization of 1895: 5 × 379.
The sum of factors of 1895: 1 + 5 + 379 + 1895 = 2280
How to Find Factors of 1895?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1895. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1895 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1895 by 1, 1895 × 1 = 1895.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1895 after multiplying
1 × 1895 = 1895
5 × 379 = 1895
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1895 are: (1, 1895) and (5, 379). All these factor pair results in 1895. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers with the 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 1895 by 1, 1895 ÷ 1 = 1895.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1895 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1895 ÷ 1 = 1895
1895 ÷ 5 = 379
Therefore, the factors of 1895 are: 1, 5, 379, and 1895.
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 1895 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1895 ÷ 5 = 379
379 ÷ 379 = 1
The prime factors of 1895 are 5 and 379.
The prime factorization of 1895 is: 5 × 379.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1895 is divided by 5 to get 379.
Step 2: Now divide 379 by 379 to get 1. Here, 379 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1895 is: 5 × 379.
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 1895: (1, 1895) and (5, 379).
Negative factor pairs of 1895: (-1, -1895) and (-5, -379).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1895
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
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
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 1895, 1 and 1895 is also a factor.
Mistake 2
Missing Negative Factors
We have used only to mention positive factors every time. There are also negative factors, always check whether you have mentioned negative factors.
For example, the factors of 1895 consist of -1, -5, -379, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fractions also as a factor. Only whole numbers can be a factor.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor because 1895/1.5 is not a whole number.
Mistake 4
Confusing Factors With Prime Numbers
Remember that factors can be any whole numbers, not only just primes.
For example, thinking all the factors of 1895 are prime numbers. For example, 5 and 379 are the prime factors of 1895, but it has other factors like 1, 1895.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up writing wrong factors.
For example, not breaking 1895 as 5 × 379 and missing all the key factors.
Factors of 1895 Examples
Problem 1
A company wants to distribute 1895 brochures equally among 5 departments. How many brochures will each department get?
Each department will get 379 brochures.
Explanation
To divide the brochures equally, we need to divide the total brochures with the number of departments.
1895/5 = 379
Problem 2
A rectangular field has a length of 379 meters and a total area of 1895 square meters. Find the width.
5 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the field, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1895 = 379 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 379 to the left side.
1895/379 = width
Width = 5.
Problem 3
There are 379 boxes and 1895 items. How many items will be in each box?
Each box will have 5 items.
Explanation
To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the number of boxes.
1895/379 = 5
Problem 4
In a school, there are 1895 students, and 5 buses. How many students are there in each bus?
There are 379 students in each bus.
Explanation
Dividing the students with the total buses, we will get the number of students in each bus.
1895/5 = 379
Problem 5
1895 chairs need to be arranged in 5 rows. How many chairs will go in each row?
Each row will have 379 chairs.
Explanation
Divide total chairs by rows.
1895/5 = 379
