What are the Factors of 1718?

The numbers that divide 1718 evenly are known as factors of 1718.

 

A factor of 1718 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1718 are 1, 2, 859, and 1718.

 

Negative factors of 1718: -1, -2, -859, -1718.

 

Prime factors of 1718: 2 and 859.

 

Prime factorization of 1718: 2 × 859.

 

The sum of factors of 1718: 1 + 2 + 859 + 1718 = 2580

How to Find Factors of 1718?

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
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 1718. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1718 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1718 by 1, 1718 × 1 = 1718.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1718 after multiplying 2 × 859 = 1718

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1718 are: (1, 1718) and (2, 859).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1718.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with 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 1718 by 1, 1718 ÷ 1 = 1718.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1718 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1718 ÷ 1 = 1718

1718 ÷ 2 = 859

 

Therefore, the factors of 1718 are: 1, 2, 859, and 1718.

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 1718 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1718 ÷ 2 = 859

859 ÷ 859 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1718 are 2 and 859.

 

The prime factorization of 1718 is: 2 × 859.

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, 1718 is divided by 2 to get 859.

 

Step 2: Now divide 859 by 859 to get 1. Here, 859 is a prime number, which cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1718 is: 2 × 859.

 

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 1718: (1, 1718) and (2, 859).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1718: (-1, -1718) and (-2, -859).

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 1718, 1 and 1718 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 859 chairs and 1718 seats. How will they be arranged equally in pairs?

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

They will be arranged in pairs of 2.

Explanation

To arrange the seats equally in pairs, we divide the total seats by the number of chairs.

 

1718/859 = 2

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 2 meters and a total area of 1718 square meters. Find the width.

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

859 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the plot, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

1718 = 2 × width

 

To find the width, divide the area by the length.

 

1718/2 = width

 

Width = 859.
