Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 718, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 718 evenly are known as factors of 718.
A factor of 718 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 718 are 1, 2, 359, and 718.
Negative factors of 718: -1, -2, -359, and -718.
Prime factors of 718: 2 and 359.
Prime factorization of 718: 2 × 359.
The sum of factors of 718: 1 + 2 + 359 + 718 = 1080
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 718. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 718 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 718 by 1, 718 × 1 = 718.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 718 after multiplying 2 × 359 = 718
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 718 are: (1, 718) and (2, 359).
All these factor pairs result in 718.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number 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 simple division methods -
Step 1: Divide 718 by 1, 718 ÷ 1 = 718.
Step 2: Continue dividing 718 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
718 ÷ 1 = 718
718 ÷ 2 = 359
Therefore, the factors of 718 are: 1, 2, 359, 718.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 718 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 718 ÷ 2 = 359 359 is a prime number.
The prime factors of 718 are 2 and 359. The prime factorization of 718 is: 2 × 359.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 718 is divided by 2 to get 359. Here, 359 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 718 is: 2 × 359.
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 718: (1, 718) and (2, 359).
Negative factor pairs of 718: (-1, -718) and (-2, -359).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 718 marbles and 2 baskets. How will they distribute it equally?
Each basket will have 359 marbles.
To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles by the number of baskets.
718/2 = 359
A room is rectangular, the length of the room is 359 meters, and the total area is 718 square meters. Find the width?
2 meters.
To find the width of the room, we use the formula,
Area = length × width 718 = 359 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 359 to the left side.
718/359 = width Width = 2.
There are 718 apples and 359 boxes. How many apples will be in each box?
Each box will have 2 apples.
To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the boxes.
718/359 = 2
In a class, there are 718 students, and 359 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 2 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
718/359 = 2
718 books need to be arranged in 2 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 359 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
718/2 = 359
