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 713, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 713 evenly are known as factors of 713.
A factor of 713 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 713 are 1, 23, 31, and 713.
Negative factors of 713: -1, -23, -31, and -713.
Prime factors of 713: 23 and 31.
Prime factorization of 713: 23 × 31.
The sum of factors of 713: 1 + 23 + 31 + 713 = 768
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 multiply to give 713. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 713 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 713 by 1, 713 × 1 = 713.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 713 after multiplying 23 × 31 = 713
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 713 are: (1, 713), (23, 31).
All these factor pairs result in 713.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number 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 713 by 1, 713 ÷ 1 = 713.
Step 2: Continue dividing 713 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
713 ÷ 1 = 713
713 ÷ 23 = 31
713 ÷ 31 = 23
Therefore, the factors of 713 are: 1, 23, 31, 713.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 713 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
713 ÷ 23 = 31
31 ÷ 31 = 1
The prime factors of 713 are 23 and 31.
The prime factorization of 713 is: 23 × 31.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 713 is divided by 23 to get 31.
Here, 31 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 713 is: 23 × 31.
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 713: (1, 713), (23, 31).
Negative factor pairs of 713: (-1, -713), (-23, -31).
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 23 students and 713 pencils. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 31 pencils each.
To divide the pencils equally, we need to divide the total pencils by the number of students.
713/23 = 31
A farmer has a rectangular field with a length of 31 meters and a total area of 713 square meters. Find the width.
23 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
713 = 31 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 31 to the left side.
713/31 = width
Width = 23.
There are 31 crates and 713 apples. How many apples will be in each crate?
Each crate will have 23 apples.
To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples by the number of crates.
713/31 = 23
In a class, there are 713 students, and 23 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 31 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
713/23 = 31
713 books need to be arranged in 23 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 31 books.
Divide total books by the number of shelves.
713/23 = 31
