How to Find Factors of 1000000?

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

 

  1. Finding factors using multiplication
  2. Finding factors using 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 1000000. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1000000 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1000000 by 1, 1000000 × 1 = 1000000.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1000000 after multiplying

 

2 × 500000 = 1000000

4 × 250000 = 1000000

5 × 200000 = 1000000

8 × 125000 = 1000000

10 × 100000 = 1000000

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1000000 are: (1, 1000000), (2, 500000), (4, 250000), (5, 200000), (8, 125000), (10, 100000), etc. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers 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 the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1000000 by 1, 1000000 ÷ 1 = 1000000.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1000000 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1000000 ÷ 1 = 1000000

1000000 ÷ 2 = 500000

1000000 ÷ 4 = 250000

1000000 ÷ 5 = 200000

1000000 ÷ 8 = 125000

 

Therefore, the factors of 1000000 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, ..., and 1000000.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 1000000 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1000000 ÷ 2 = 500000

500000 ÷ 2 = 250000

250000 ÷ 2 = 125000

125000 ÷ 2 = 62500

62500 ÷ 2 = 31250

31250 ÷ 2 = 15625

15625 ÷ 5 = 3125

3125 ÷ 5 = 625

625 ÷ 5 = 125

125 ÷ 5 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1000000 are 2 and 5. The prime factorization of 1000000 is: 26 × 56.

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, 1000000 is divided by 2 to get 500000.

 

Step 2: Now divide 500000 by 2 to get 250000.

 

Step 3: Then divide 250000 by 2 to get 125000.

 

Step 4: Divide 125000 by 2 to get 62500.

 

Step 5: Continue this process until you reach the prime number 5, which cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1000000 is: 26 × 56.

 

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 1000000: (1, 1000000), (2, 500000), (4, 250000), (5, 200000), (8, 125000), (10, 100000), etc.

 

  • Negative factor pairs of 1000000: (-1, -1000000), (-2, -500000), (-4, -250000), (-5, -200000), (-8, -125000), (-10, -100000), etc.
