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 1709, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1709 evenly are known as factors of 1709.
A factor of 1709 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1709 are 1, 11, 31, 61, 341, 1709.
Negative factors of 1709: -1, -11, -31, -61, -341, -1709.
Prime factors of 1709: 11 and 31.
Prime factorization of 1709: 11 × 31 × 5.
The sum of factors of 1709: 1 + 11 + 31 + 61 + 341 + 1709 = 2154
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 1709. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1709 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1709 by 1, 1709 × 1 = 1709.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1709 after multiplying
11 × 155 = 1709
31 × 55 = 1709
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1709 are: (1, 1709), (11, 155), (31, 55).
All these factor pairs result in 1709.
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 simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1709 by 1, 1709 ÷ 1 = 1709.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1709 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1709 ÷ 1 = 1709
1709 ÷ 11 = 155
1709 ÷ 31 = 55
Therefore, the factors of 1709 are: 1, 11, 31, 61, 341, 1709.
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 1709 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1709 ÷ 11 = 155
155 ÷ 31 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
The prime factors of 1709 are 11 and 31.
The prime factorization of 1709 is: 11 × 31 × 5.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1709 is divided by 11 to get 155.
Step 2: Now divide 155 by 31 to get 5. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1709 is: 11 × 31 × 5.
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 1709: (1, 1709), (11, 155), (31, 55).
Negative factor pairs of 1709: (-1, -1709), (-11, -155), (-31, -55).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 11 students and 1709 apples. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 155 apples each.
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples with the number of students.
1709/11 = 155
A rectangular garden has a length of 31 meters and a total area of 1709 square meters. Find the width.
55 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1709 = 31 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 31 to the left side.
1709/31 = width
Width = 55.
There are 31 gift boxes and 1709 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 55 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the boxes.
1709/31 = 55
In a class, there are 1709 students, and 11 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 155 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1709/11 = 155
1709 books need to be arranged in 31 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 55 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
1709/31 = 55
