What are the Factors of 572?

The numbers that divide 572 evenly are known as factors of 572.

 

A factor of 572 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 572 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, and 572.

 

Negative factors of 572: -1, -2, -4, -11, -13, -22, -26, -44, -52, -143, -286, and -572.

 

Prime factors of 572: 2, 11, and 13.

 

Prime factorization of 572: 2² × 11 × 13.

 

The sum of factors of 572: 1 + 2 + 4 + 11 + 13 + 22 + 26 + 44 + 52 + 143 + 286 + 572 = 1176

How to Find Factors of 572?

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 572. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 572 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 572 by 1, 572 × 1 = 572.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 572 after multiplying

 

2 × 286 = 572

4 × 143 = 572

11 × 52 = 572

13 × 44 = 572

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 572 are: (1, 572), (2, 286), (4, 143), (11, 52), (13, 44). All these factor pairs result in 572. 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 572 by 1, 572 ÷ 1 = 572.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 572 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

572 ÷ 1 = 572

572 ÷ 2 = 286

572 ÷ 4 = 143

572 ÷ 11 = 52

572 ÷ 13 = 44

 

Therefore, the factors of 572 are: 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, 572.

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

 

572 ÷ 2 = 286

286 ÷ 2 = 143

143 ÷ 11 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1

 

The prime factors of 572 are 2, 11, and 13.

 

The prime factorization of 572 is: 2² × 11 × 13.

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, 572 is divided by 2 to get 286.

 

Step 2: Now divide 286 by 2 to get 143.

 

Step 3: Then divide 143 by 11 to get 13. Here, 13 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 572 is: 2² × 11 × 13.

 

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 572: (1, 572), (2, 286), (4, 143), (11, 52), and (13, 44).

 

Negative factor pairs of 572: (-1, -572), (-2, -286), (-4, -143), (-11, -52), and (-13, -44).

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

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 572, 1 and 572 are also factors.

Factors of 572 Examples

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

Problem 1

A gardener has 572 plants and wants to organize them into rows of 13. How many full rows will there be?

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

There will be 44 full rows.

Explanation

To organize the plants equally, we need to divide the total plants by the number of plants per row.

 

572/13 = 44

Problem 2

A rectangular pool has a length of 11 meters and a total area of 572 square meters. Find the width.

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

52 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

572 = 11 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 11 to the left side.

 

572/11 = width

 

Width = 52.

Problem 3

There are 286 boxes and each box contains 2 items. How many items are there in total?

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

There are 572 items in total.

Explanation

To find the total number of items, multiply the number of boxes by the number of items per box.

 

286 × 2 = 572
