What are the Factors of 1942?

The numbers that divide 1942 evenly are known as factors of 1942.

 

A factor of 1942 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1942 are 1, 2, 971, and 1942.

 

Negative factors of 1942: -1, -2, -971, and -1942.

 

Prime factors of 1942: 2 and 971.

 

Prime factorization of 1942: 2 × 971.

 

The sum of factors of 1942: 1 + 2 + 971 + 1942 = 2916

How to Find Factors of 1942?

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 1942. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1942 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1942 by 1, 1942 × 1 = 1942.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1942 after multiplying 2 × 971 = 1942

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1942 are: (1, 1942) and (2, 971).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1942.

 

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 1942 by 1, 1942 ÷ 1 = 1942.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1942 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1942 ÷ 1 = 1942

1942 ÷ 2 = 971

 

Therefore, the factors of 1942 are: 1, 2, 971, 1942.

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 1942 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1942 ÷ 2 = 971

971 ÷ 971 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1942 are 2 and 971.

 

The prime factorization of 1942 is: 2 × 971.

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, 1942 is divided by 2 to get 971.

 

Step 2: Now divide 971 by 971 to get 1. Here, 971 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1942 is: 2 × 971.

 

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 1942: (1, 1942) and (2, 971).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1942: (-1, -1942) and (-2, -971).

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 1942, 1 and 1942 are also factors.

Factors of 1942 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 971 marbles and 1942 boxes. How many marbles will go in each box if divided equally?

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

Each box will not have a whole number of marbles because 971 is not divisible by 1942.

Explanation

To divide the marbles equally among the boxes, we need to check if 971 divides evenly by 1942, which it does not.

Problem 2

A theater has 1942 seats arranged in rows, with each row containing 971 seats. How many rows are there?

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

There are 2 rows.

Explanation

To find the number of rows, we use the formula:

 

Total seats = number of rows × seats per row

 

1942 = rows × 971

 

1942/971 = 2

Problem 3

A garden has a perimeter of 1942 meters and a width of 2 meters. What is the length of the garden?

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

The length of the garden is 971 meters.

Explanation

To find the length, use the perimeter formula for a rectangle:

 

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

 

1942 = 2(length + 2)

 

971 = length + 2

 

Length = 971 - 2 = 969

Problem 4

There are 971 meters of ribbon and 2 pieces. What is the length of each piece if divided equally?

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

Each piece will be 485.5 meters long.

Explanation

Dividing the ribbon by the number of pieces:

 

971/2 = 485.5

Problem 5

A company has 1942 pencils and 2 employees. How many pencils will each employee get if they divide them equally?

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

Each employee will get 971 pencils.

Explanation

Divide the total pencils by the number of employees:

 

1942/2 = 971
