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 1314, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1314 evenly are known as factors of 1314.
A factor of 1314 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1314 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 73, 146, 219, 438, 657, and 1314.
Negative factors of 1314: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -18, -73, -146, -219, -438, -657, and -1314.
Prime factors of 1314: 2, 3, and 73.
Prime factorization of 1314: 2 × 3 × 3 × 73.
The sum of factors of 1314: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 18 + 73 + 146 + 219 + 438 + 657 + 1314 = 2886
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 1314. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1314 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1314 by 1, 1314 × 1 = 1314.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1314 after multiplying
2 × 657 = 1314
3 × 438 = 1314
6 × 219 = 1314
9 × 146 = 1314
18 × 73 = 1314
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1314 are: (1, 1314), (2, 657), (3, 438), (6, 219), (9, 146), (18, 73).
All these factor pairs result in 1314. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 1314 by 1, 1314 ÷ 1 = 1314.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1314 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1314 ÷ 1 = 1314
1314 ÷ 2 = 657
1314 ÷ 3 = 438
1314 ÷ 6 = 219
1314 ÷ 9 = 146
1314 ÷ 18 = 73
Therefore, the factors of 1314 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 73, 146, 219, 438, 657, 1314.
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 1314 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1314 ÷ 2 = 657
657 ÷ 3 = 219
219 ÷ 3 = 73
73 ÷ 73 = 1
The prime factors of 1314 are 2, 3, and 73.
The prime factorization of 1314 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 73.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1314 is divided by 2 to get 657.
Step 2: Now divide 657 by 3 to get 219.
Step 3: Then divide 219 by 3 to get 73.
Here, 73 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1314 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 73.
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 1314: (1, 1314), (2, 657), (3, 438), (6, 219), (9, 146), and (18, 73).
Negative factor pairs of 1314: (-1, -1314), (-2, -657), (-3, -438), (-6, -219), (-9, -146), and (-18, -73).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A farmer has 657 apples and wants to group them into baskets of 2 apples each. How many baskets can he fill?
He can fill 328 baskets.
To divide the apples equally into baskets, we need to divide the total apples by the number of apples per basket. 657/2 = 328.5, rounding down since you can't have half a basket, gives us 328 baskets.
A rectangular garden has a length of 73 meters and a total area of 1314 square meters. Find the width.
18 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1314 = 73 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 73 to the left side.
1314/73 = width
Width = 18.
A teacher has 438 pencils and wants to distribute them equally among 3 classes. How many pencils will each class get?
Each class will get 146 pencils.
To find the pencils in each class, divide the total pencils by the number of classes.
438/3 = 146
A concert has 219 seats divided into 6 equal sections. How many seats are there in each section?
There are 36 seats in each section.
Dividing the seats by the total sections, we will get the number of seats in each section.
219/6 = 36.5, rounding down gives us 36 seats per section.
A baker has 1314 cookies and wants to arrange them in groups of 18. How many groups can be made?
73 groups can be made.
Divide total cookies by the number of cookies per group.
1314/18 = 73
