Factors of 1969
Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 1969, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1969?
The numbers that divide 1969 evenly are known as factors of 1969.
A factor of 1969 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1969 are 1, 37, 53, and 1969.
Negative factors of 1969: -1, -37, -53, and -1969.
Prime factors of 1969: 37 and 53.
Prime factorization of 1969: 37 × 53.
The sum of factors of 1969: 1 + 37 + 53 + 1969 = 2060
How to Find Factors of 1969?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1969. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1969 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1969 by 1, 1969 × 1 = 1969.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1969 after multiplying 37 × 53 = 1969
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1969 are: (1, 1969), (37, 53).
All these factor pairs result in 1969.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1969 by 1, 1969 ÷ 1 = 1969.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1969 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1969 ÷ 1 = 1969
1969 ÷ 37 = 53
1969 ÷ 53 = 37
Therefore, the factors of 1969 are: 1, 37, 53, 1969.
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 1969 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1969 ÷ 37 = 53
53 ÷ 53 = 1
The prime factors of 1969 are 37 and 53.
The prime factorization of 1969 is: 37 × 53.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1969 is divided by 37 to get 53.
Step 2: Now divide 53 by 53 to get 1. Here, 37 and 53 are the smallest prime numbers, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1969 is: 37 × 53.
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 1969: (1, 1969), (37, 53).
Negative factor pairs of 1969: (-1, -1969), (-37, -53).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1969
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
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 1969, 1 and 1969 are also factors.
Mistake 2
Missing Negative Factors
We often mention only positive factors. There are also negative factors, always check whether you have mentioned negative factors.
For example, the factors of 1969 consist of -1, -37, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fractions as factors. Only whole numbers can be factors.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor because 1969/1.5 ≈ 1312.67, and it is not a whole number.
Mistake 4
Confusing Factors With Prime Numbers
Remember that factors can be any whole numbers, not only just primes.
For example, thinking all the factors of 1969 are prime numbers.
For example, 37 and 53 are the prime factors of 1969, but it has other factors like 1, 1969.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up writing the wrong factors.
For example, not breaking 1969 as 37 × 53 and missing all the key factors.
Factors of 1969 Examples
Problem 1
There are 37 students and 1969 books. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 53 books each.
Explanation
To divide the books equally, we need to divide the total books by the number of students.
1969/37 = 53
Problem 2
A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 53 meters and the total area is 1969 square meters. Find the width?
37 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1969 = 53 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 53 to the left side.
1969/53 = width
Width = 37.
Problem 3
There are 53 boxes and 1969 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?
Each box will have 37 marbles.
Explanation
To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles by the boxes.
1969/53 = 37
Problem 4
In a school, there are 1969 students and 53 classes. How many students are there in each class?
There are 37 students in each class.
Explanation
Dividing the students by the total classes, we will get the number of students in each class.
1969/53 = 37
Problem 5
1969 apples need to be arranged in 37 baskets. How many apples will go in each basket?
Each of the baskets has 53 apples.
Explanation
Divide total apples by baskets.
1969/37 = 53
