What are the Factors of 82?

The numbers that divide 82 evenly are known as factors of 82. A factor of 82 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 82 are 1, 2, 41, and 82. Negative factors of 82: -1, -2, -41, and -82. Prime factors of 82: 2 and 41. Prime factorization of 82: 2 × 41. The sum of factors of 82: 1 + 2 + 41 + 82 = 126

How to Find Factors of 82?

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

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 82. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 82 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 82 by 1, 82 × 1 = 82. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 82 after multiplying 2 × 41 = 82 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 82 are: (1, 82), (2, 41). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with 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 a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 82 by 1, 82 ÷ 1 = 82. Step 2: Continue dividing 82 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 82 ÷ 1 = 82 82 ÷ 2 = 41 Therefore, the factors of 82 are: 1, 2, 41, 82.

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 82 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 82 ÷ 2 = 41 41 ÷ 41 = 1 The prime factors of 82 are 2 and 41. The prime factorization of 82 is: 2 × 41.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 82 is divided by 2 to get 41. Step 2: Since 41 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 82 is: 2 × 41. 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 82: (1, 82), (2, 41). Negative factor pairs of 82: (-1, -82), (-2, -41).

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 82, 1 and 82 are also factors.

Problem 2

A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 2 meters and the total area is 82 square meters. Find the width.

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

41 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the field, we use the formula, Area = length × width 82 = 2 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 2 to the left side. 82/2 = width Width = 41.
