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.
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
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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).
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 37 students and 1969 books. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 53 books each.
To divide the books equally, we need to divide the total books by the number of students.
1969/37 = 53
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.
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.
There are 53 boxes and 1969 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?
Each box will have 37 marbles.
To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles by the boxes.
1969/53 = 37
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.
Dividing the students by the total classes, we will get the number of students in each class.
1969/53 = 37
1969 apples need to be arranged in 37 baskets. How many apples will go in each basket?
Each of the baskets has 53 apples.
Divide total apples by baskets.
1969/37 = 53
