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 1066, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1066?
The numbers that divide 1066 evenly are known as factors of 1066.
A factor of 1066 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1066 are 1, 2, 17, 23, 34, 46, 391, 529, and 1066.
Negative factors of 1066: -1, -2, -17, -23, -34, -46, -391, -529, and -1066.
Prime factors of 1066: 2, 17, and 23.
Prime factorization of 1066: 2 × 17 × 23.
The sum of factors of 1066: 1 + 2 + 17 + 23 + 34 + 46 + 391 + 529 + 1066 = 2109
How to Find Factors of 1066?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1066. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1066 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1066 by 1, 1066 × 1 = 1066.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1066 after multiplying
2 × 533 = 1066
17 × 62 = 1066
23 × 46 = 1066
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1066 are: (1, 1066), (2, 533), (17, 62), (23, 46).
All these factor pairs result in 1066.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers 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 a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1066 by 1, 1066 ÷ 1 = 1066.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1066 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1066 ÷ 1 = 1066
1066 ÷ 2 = 533
1066 ÷ 17 = 62
1066 ÷ 23 = 46
Therefore, the factors of 1066 are: 1, 2, 17, 23, 34, 46, 391, 529, 1066.
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 1066 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1066 ÷ 2 = 533
533 ÷ 17 = 31
.3529 (not a whole number, so continue with next factor)
533 ÷ 23 = 23.1739 (not a whole number, so continue with next factor)
533 ÷ 23 = 23
23 ÷ 23 = 1
The prime factors of 1066 are 2, 17, and 23.
The prime factorization of 1066 is: 2 × 17 × 23.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1066 is divided by 2 to get 533.
Step 2: Now divide 533 by 17 to get 31.3529 (not a whole number, so continue with next factor)
Step 3: Divide 533 by 23 to get 23.
Step 4: Divide 23 by 23 to get 1.
Here, 23 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1066 is: 2 × 17 × 23.
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 1066: (1, 1066), (2, 533), (17, 62), and (23, 46).
Negative factor pairs of 1066: (-1, -1066), (-2, -533), (-17, -62), and (-23, -46).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1066
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1066, 1 and 1066 is also a factor.
Factors of 1066 Examples
Problem 1
There are 23 students and 1066 books. How will they distribute the books equally?
They will get 46 books each.
Explanation
To distribute the books equally, we need to divide the total books by the number of students.
1066/23 = 46
Problem 2
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 46 meters and the total area is 1066 square meters. Find the width?
23 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1066 = 46 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 46 to the left side.
1066/46 = width
Width = 23.
Problem 3
There are 17 boxes and 1066 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?
Each box will have 62 marbles.
Explanation
To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles by the boxes.
1066/17 = 62
Problem 4
In a class, there are 1066 students, and 2 buses. How many students are there in each bus?
There are 533 students in each bus.
Explanation
Dividing the students by the total buses, we will get the number of students in each bus.
1066/2 = 533
Problem 5
1066 apples need to be packed in 17 crates. How many apples will go in each crate?
Each of the crates has 62 apples.
Explanation
Divide the total apples with crates.
1066/17 = 62
