Factors of 1885
Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1885, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1885?
The numbers that divide 1885 evenly are known as factors of 1885.
A factor of 1885 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1885 are 1, 5, 13, 29, 65, 145, 377, and 1885.
Negative factors of 1885: -1, -5, -13, -29, -65, -145, -377, and -1885.
Prime factors of 1885: 5, 13, and 29.
Prime factorization of 1885: 5 × 13 × 29.
The sum of factors of 1885: 1 + 5 + 13 + 29 + 65 + 145 + 377 + 1885 = 2520
How to Find Factors of 1885?
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 1885. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1885 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1885 by 1, 1885 × 1 = 1885.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1885 after multiplying
5 × 377 = 1885
13 × 145 = 1885
29 × 65 = 1885
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1885 are: (1, 1885), (5, 377), (13, 145), and (29, 65). All these factor pairs result in 1885. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1885 by 1, 1885 ÷ 1 = 1885.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1885 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1885 ÷ 1 = 1885
1885 ÷ 5 = 377
1885 ÷ 13 = 145
1885 ÷ 29 = 65
Therefore, the factors of 1885 are: 1, 5, 13, 29, 65, 145, 377, 1885.
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 1885 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1885 ÷ 5 = 377
377 ÷ 13 = 29
29 ÷ 29 = 1
The prime factors of 1885 are 5, 13, and 29.
The prime factorization of 1885 is: 5 × 13 × 29.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1885 is divided by 5 to get 377.
Step 2: Now divide 377 by 13 to get 29.
Step 3: Divide 29 by 29 to get 1. Here, 29 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1885 is: 5 × 13 × 29.
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 1885: (1, 1885), (5, 377), (13, 145), and (29, 65).
Negative factor pairs of 1885: (-1, -1885), (-5, -377), (-13, -145), and (-29, -65).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1885
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 1885, 1 and 1885 are also factors.
Factors of 1885 Examples
Problem 1
There are 5 teams and 1885 participants. How will they divide the participants equally among the teams?
Each team will have 377 participants.
Explanation
To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.
1885/5 = 377
Problem 2
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 29 meters and the total area is 1885 square meters. Find the width?
65 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1885 = 29 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 29 to the left side.
1885/29 = width
Width = 65.
Problem 3
There are 13 tables and 1885 chairs. How many chairs will be at each table?
Each table will have 145 chairs.
Explanation
To find the chairs at each table, divide the total chairs by the number of tables.
1885/13 = 145
Problem 4
In a tournament, there are 1885 athletes and 29 teams. How many athletes are there in each team?
There are 65 athletes in each team.
Explanation
Dividing the athletes by the total teams, we will get the number of athletes in each team.
1885/29 = 65
Problem 5
1885 books need to be placed on 145 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 13 books.
Explanation
Divide total books by shelves.
1885/145 = 13
