Finding Factors Using Multiplication

The multiplication method identifies pairs of numbers whose product is 390.

 

Step 1: Find pairs of numbers whose product equals 390.

Step 2: The factors are those numbers that, when multiplied, give 390.

Step 3: List the pairs of numbers whose product equals 390. A list of pairs whose product is 390 is given below:

 

  • 1 × 390 = 390
  • 2 × 195 = 390
  • 3 × 130 = 390
  • 5 × 78 = 390
  • 6 × 65 = 390
  • 10 × 39 = 390
  • 13 × 30 = 390
  • 15 × 26 = 390

Thus, the factors of 390 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 13, 15, 26, 30, 39, 65, 78, 130, 195, and 390.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are outlined below:

 

Step 1: Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor.

Example: 390÷1=390390 \div 1 = 390390÷1=390

 

Step 2: Move to the next integer. The factors of 390 include the number used to divide and the quotient obtained.

Thus, the factors of 390 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 13, 15, 26, 30, 39, 65, 78, 130, 195, and 390.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime factors of 390 are obtained by dividing the number by its prime numbers. A number simplified using its prime factors and expressed in the form of prime factorization is the prime factorization of that number.


Prime Factors of 390: 2, 3, 5, 13 Prime Factorization of 390:


Divide 390 by 2: 390÷2=195


Divide 195 by 3: 195÷3=65


Divide 65 by 5: 65÷5=13


Divide 13 by 13: 13÷13=1


Prime factorization of 390: 2×3×5×13

Important glossaries for the Factors of 390

  • Co-prime: Numbers having 1 as the only common factor. For example, 15 and 26 are co-prime because their greatest common factor (GCF) is 1.

 

  • Perfect Square: The number we get when the same number is multiplied twice. For example, 1 is a perfect square because it is 1×1

 

  • Prime Factors: Prime numbers that, when multiplied together, give a specific number as the product. For 390, the prime factors are 2, 3, 5, and 13.

 

  • Factor Tree: A tree diagram used to represent the prime factors of a given number. It helps visualize how a number is broken down into its prime factors.

 

  • Multiple: Numbers we get when another number multiplies the given number. For example, 78 is a multiple of 13 because 13×6=78
