What are the Factors of 714?

The numbers that divide 714 evenly are known as factors of 714.

 

A factor of 714 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 714 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 17, 18, 21, 34, 42, 51, 102, 119, 153, 238, 357, and 714.

 

Negative factors of 714: -1, -2, -3, -6, -7, -9, -14, -17, -18, -21, -34, -42, -51, -102, -119, -153, -238, -357, and -714.

 

Prime factors of 714: 2, 3, 7, and 17.

 

Prime factorization of 714: 2 × 3 × 7 × 17.

 

The sum of factors of 714: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 14 + 17 + 18 + 21 + 34 + 42 + 51 + 102 + 119 + 153 + 238 + 357 + 714 = 1908.

How to Find Factors of 714?

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 714. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 714 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 714 by 1, 714 × 1 = 714.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 714 after multiplying

 

2 × 357 = 714

3 × 238 = 714

6 × 119 = 714

7 × 102 = 714

9 × 79.333 (not a factor)

17 × 42 = 714

21 × 34 = 714

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 714 are: (1, 714), (2, 357), (3, 238), (6, 119), (7, 102), (17, 42), (21, 34).

 

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

 

Step 1: Divide 714 by 1, 714 ÷ 1 = 714.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 714 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

714 ÷ 1 = 714

714 ÷ 2 = 357

714 ÷ 3 = 238

714 ÷ 6 = 119

714 ÷ 7 = 102

714 ÷ 9 = 79.

333 (not a factor)

714 ÷ 17 = 42

714 ÷ 21 = 34

 

Therefore, the factors of 714 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 17, 21, 34, 42, 102, 119, 238, 357, 714.

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

 

714 ÷ 2 = 357

357 ÷ 3 = 119

119 ÷ 7 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

 

The prime factors of 714 are 2, 3, 7, and 17.

 

The prime factorization of 714 is: 2 × 3 × 7 × 17.

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, 714 is divided by 2 to get 357.

 

Step 2: Now divide 357 by 3 to get 119.

 

Step 3: Then divide 119 by 7 to get 17.

 

Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 714 is: 2 × 3 × 7 × 17.

 

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 714: (1, 714), (2, 357), (3, 238), (6, 119), (7, 102), (17, 42), (21, 34).

 

Negative factor pairs of 714: (-1, -714), (-2, -357), (-3, -238), (-6, -119), (-7, -102), (-17, -42), (-21, -34).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 714

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 714, 1 and 714 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 6 teams and 714 points. How will they divide the points equally?

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

Each team will get 119 points.

Explanation

To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.

714/6 = 119

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 17 meters and the total area is 714 square meters. Find the width?

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

42 meters.

Explanation

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

Area = length × width

714 = 17 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 17 to the left side.

714/17 = width

Width = 42.
