What are the Factors of 2880?

The numbers that divide 2880 evenly are known as factors of 2880.

 

A factor of 2880 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 2880 include a variety of numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 240, 288, 320, 360, 480, 576, 720, 960, 1440, and 2880.

How to Find Factors of 2880?

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 2880. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 2880 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 2880 by 1, 2880 × 1 = 2880.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 2880 after multiplying:

 

2 × 1440 = 2880

3 × 960 = 2880

4 × 720 = 2880

5 × 576 = 2880

6 × 480 = 2880

8 × 360 = 2880

9 × 320 = 2880

10 × 288 = 2880

12 × 240 = 2880

15 × 192 = 2880

16 × 180 = 2880

18 × 160 = 2880

20 × 144 = 2880

24 × 120 = 2880

30 × 96 = 2880

32 × 90 = 2880

36 × 80 = 2880

40 × 72 = 2880

45 × 64 = 2880

48 × 60 = 2880

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 2880 include: (1, 2880), (2, 1440), (3, 960), (4, 720), (5, 576), (6, 480), (8, 360), (9, 320), (10, 288), (12, 240), (15, 192), (16, 180), (18, 160), (20, 144), (24, 120), (30, 96), (32, 90), (36, 80), (40, 72), (45, 64), and (48, 60). 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 which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 2880 by 1, 2880 ÷ 1 = 2880.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 2880 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

2880 ÷ 1 = 2880

2880 ÷ 2 = 1440

2880 ÷ 3 = 960

2880 ÷ 4 = 720

2880 ÷ 5 = 576

2880 ÷ 6 = 480

2880 ÷ 8 = 360

2880 ÷ 9 = 320

2880 ÷ 10 = 288

2880 ÷ 12 = 240

2880 ÷ 15 = 192

2880 ÷ 16 = 180

2880 ÷ 18 = 160

2880 ÷ 20 = 144

2880 ÷ 24 = 120

2880 ÷ 30 = 96

2880 ÷ 32 = 90

2880 ÷ 36 = 80

2880 ÷ 40 = 72

2880 ÷ 45 = 64

2880 ÷ 48 = 60

 

Therefore, the factors of 2880 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 240, 288, 320, 360, 480, 576, 720, 960, 1440, and 2880.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing 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 2880 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

2880 ÷ 2 = 1440

1440 ÷ 2 = 720

720 ÷ 2 = 360

360 ÷ 2 = 180

180 ÷ 2 = 90

90 ÷ 2 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

 

The prime factors of 2880 are 2, 3, and 5.

 

The prime factorization of 2880 is: 26 × 32 × 5.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show:

 

Step 1: Firstly, 2880 is divided by 2 to get 1440.

 

Step 2: Now divide 1440 by 2 to get 720.

 

Step 3: Then divide 720 by 2 to get 360.

 

Step 4: Divide 360 by 2 to get 180.

 

Step 5: Divide 180 by 2 to get 90.

 

Step 6: Divide 90 by 2 to get 45.

 

Step 7: Divide 45 by 3 to get 15.

 

Step 8: Divide 15 by 3 to get 5. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 2880 is: 26 × 32 × 5.

 

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 2880: (1, 2880), (2, 1440), (3, 960), (4, 720), (5, 576), (6, 480), (8, 360), (9, 320), (10, 288), (12, 240), (15, 192), (16, 180), (18, 160), (20, 144), (24, 120), (30, 96), (32, 90), (36, 80), (40, 72), (45, 64), and (48, 60).

 

Negative factor pairs of 2880: (-1, -2880), (-2, -1440), (-3, -960), (-4, -720), (-5, -576), (-6, -480), (-8, -360), (-9, -320), (-10, -288), (-12, -240), (-15, -192), (-16, -180), (-18, -160), (-20, -144), (-24, -120), (-30, -96), (-32, -90), (-36, -80), (-40, -72), (-45, -64), and (-48, -60).

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 2880, 1 and 2880 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 144 people and 2880 balloons. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 20 balloons each.

Explanation

To divide the balloons equally, we need to divide the total balloons by the number of people.

 

2880/144 = 20

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 60 meters and the total area is 2880 square meters. Find the width?

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

48 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

2880 = 60 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 60 to the left side.

 

2880/60 = width

 

Width = 48
