What are the Factors of 1580?

The numbers that divide 1580 evenly are known as factors of 1580.

 

A factor of 1580 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1580 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 79, 158, 395, 790, and 1580.

 

Negative factors of 1580: -1, -2, -5, -10, -79, -158, -395, -790, and -1580.

 

Prime factors of 1580: 2, 5, and 79.

 

Prime factorization of 1580: 2 × 5 × 79.

 

The sum of factors of 1580: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 79 + 158 + 395 + 790 + 1580 = 3020

How to Find Factors of 1580?

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 1580. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1580 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1580 by 1, 1580 × 1 = 1580.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1580 after multiplying:

 

2 × 790 = 1580

5 × 316 = 1580

10 × 158 = 1580

79 × 20 = 1580

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1580 are: (1, 1580), (2, 790), (5, 316), (10, 158), and (79, 20).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 1580 by 1, 1580 ÷ 1 = 1580.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1580 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1580 ÷ 1 = 1580

1580 ÷ 2 = 790

1580 ÷ 5 = 316

1580 ÷ 10 = 158

1580 ÷ 79 = 20

 

Therefore, the factors of 1580 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 79, 158, 395, 790, 1580.

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 1580 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1580 ÷ 2 = 790

790 ÷ 5 = 158

158 ÷ 79 = 2

2 ÷ 2 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1580 are 2, 5, and 79.

 

The prime factorization of 1580 is: 2 × 5 × 79.

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, 1580 is divided by 2 to get 790.

 

Step 2: Now divide 790 by 5 to get 158.

 

Step 3: Then divide 158 by 79 to get 2.

 

Step 4: Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.

 

The prime factorization of 1580 is: 2 × 5 × 79.

 

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 1580: (1, 1580), (2, 790), (5, 316), (10, 158), and (79, 20).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1580: (-1, -1580), (-2, -790), (-5, -316), (-10, -158), and (-79, -20).

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 1580, 1 and 1580 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 5 teams and 1580 badges. How will they distribute them equally?

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

They will get 316 badges each.

Explanation

To distribute the badges equally, divide the total badges by the number of teams.

 

1580/5 = 316

Problem 2

A rectangular park has a length of 79 meters and a total area of 1580 square meters. Find the width.

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

20 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the park, use the formula:

 

Area = length × width

 

1580 = 79 × width

 

To find the value of width, divide 1580 by 79.

 

1580/79 = width

 

Width = 20.
