What are the Factors of 841?

The numbers that divide 841 evenly are known as factors of 841.

 

A factor of 841 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 841 are 1, 29, and 841.

 

Negative factors of 841: -1, -29, and -841.

 

Prime factors of 841: 29.

 

Prime factorization of 841: 29 × 29 or 29².

 

The sum of factors of 841: 1 + 29 + 841 = 871

How to Find Factors of 841?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  1. Finding factors using multiplication
     
  2. Finding factors using the division method
     
  3. 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 841. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 841 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 841 by 1, 841 × 1 = 841.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 841 after multiplying 29 × 29 = 841

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 841 are: (1, 841) and (29, 29).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number with 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 841 by 1, 841 ÷ 1 = 841.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 841 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

841 ÷ 1 = 841

 

841 ÷ 29 = 29

 

Therefore, the factors of 841 are: 1, 29, and 841.

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

 

841 ÷ 29 = 29

 

29 ÷ 29 = 1

 

The prime factor of 841 is 29.

 

The prime factorization of 841 is: 29 × 29 or 29².

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, 841 is divided by 29 to get 29.

 

Step 2: Now divide 29 by 29 to get 1. Here, 29 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 841 is: 29 × 29 or 29².

 

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 841: (1, 841) and (29, 29).

 

  • Negative factor pairs of 841: (-1, -841) and (-29, -29).

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 841, 1 and 841 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 29 students and 841 apples. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 29 apples each.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of students.

 

841/29 = 29

Problem 2

A square garden has an area of 841 square meters. Find the length of each side.

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

29 meters.

Explanation

The area of a square is given by the formula,

 

Area = side × side

 

841 = side × side

 

The side of the square is √841 = 29.
