What are the Factors of 708?

The numbers that divide 708 evenly are known as factors of 708.

 

A factor of 708 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 708 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 59, 118, 177, 236, 354, and 708.

 

Negative factors of 708: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12, -59, -118, -177, -236, -354, and -708.

 

Prime factors of 708: 2, 3, and 59.

 

Prime factorization of 708: 2 × 3 × 59

 

The sum of factors of 708: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 + 59 + 118 + 177 + 236 + 354 + 708 = 1680

How to Find Factors of 708?

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
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that multiply to give 708. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 708 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 708 by 1, 708 × 1 = 708.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 708 after multiplying    

 

 2 × 354 = 708     

3 × 236 = 708     

4 × 177 = 708     

6 × 118 = 708     

12 × 59 = 708

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 708 are: (1, 708), (2, 354), (3, 236), (4, 177), (6, 118), (12, 59).

 

All these factor pairs result in 708.

 

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 that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 708 by 1, 708 ÷ 1 = 708.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 708 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

708 ÷ 1 = 708

708 ÷ 2 = 354

708 ÷ 3 = 236

708 ÷ 4 = 177

708 ÷ 6 = 118

708 ÷ 12 = 59

 

Therefore, the factors of 708 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 59, 118, 177, 236, 354, 708.

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

 

708 ÷ 2 = 354

354 ÷ 2 = 177

177 ÷ 3 = 59

59 ÷ 59 = 1

 

The prime factors of 708 are 2, 3, and 59.

 

The prime factorization of 708 is: 2 × 3 × 59.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 708 is divided by 2 to get 354.

 

Step 2: Now divide 354 by 2 to get 177. Step 3: Then divide 177 by 3 to get 59.

 

Here, 59 is a prime number, which cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 708 is: 2 × 3 × 59.

 

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 708: (1, 708), (2, 354), (3, 236), (4, 177), (6, 118), and (12, 59).

 

Negative factor pairs of 708: (-1, -708), (-2, -354), (-3, -236), (-4, -177), (-6, -118), and (-12, -59).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 708

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and 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 708, 1 and 708 are also factors.

Factors of 708 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 6 tables and 708 chairs. How will they arrange them equally?

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

They will place 118 chairs at each table.

Explanation

To arrange the chairs equally, we need to divide the total chairs by the number of tables.

708/6 = 118

Problem 2

A parking lot is rectangular, the length of the lot is 59 meters and the total area is 708 square meters. Find the width?

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

12 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the parking lot, we use the formula,     

Area = length × width     

708 = 59 × width     

To find the value of width, we need to shift 59 to the left side.     

708/59 = width     

Width = 12.

Problem 3

There are 4 teams and 708 players. How many players will be in each team?

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

Each team will have 177 players.

Explanation

To find the players in each team, divide the total players by the number of teams.     

708/4 = 177
