What are the Factors of 1904?

The numbers that divide 1904 evenly are known as factors of 1904.

 

A factor of 1904 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1904 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 59, 118, 236, 472, 952, and 1904.

 

Negative factors of 1904: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -32, -59, -118, -236, -472, -952, and -1904.

 

Prime factors of 1904: 2 and 59.

 

Prime factorization of 1904: 2^4 × 59.

 

The sum of factors of 1904: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 59 + 118 + 236 + 472 + 952 + 1904 = 3804

How to Find Factors of 1904?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1904. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1904 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1904 by 1, 1904 × 1 = 1904.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1904 after multiplying

2 × 952 = 1904

4 × 476 = 1904

8 × 238 = 1904

16 × 119 = 1904

32 × 59 = 1904

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1904 are: (1, 1904), (2, 952), (4, 476), (8, 238), (16, 119), (32, 59). 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 1904 by 1, 1904 ÷ 1 = 1904.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1904 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1904 ÷ 1 = 1904

1904 ÷ 2 = 952

1904 ÷ 4 = 476

1904 ÷ 8 = 238

1904 ÷ 16 = 119

1904 ÷ 32 = 59

 

Therefore, the factors of 1904 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 59, 118, 236, 472, 952, 1904.

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 1904 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1904 ÷ 2 = 952

952 ÷ 2 = 476

476 ÷ 2 = 238

238 ÷ 2 = 119

119 ÷ 59 = 2

59 ÷ 59 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1904 are 2 and 59.

 

The prime factorization of 1904 is: 2^4 × 59.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows

 

Step 1: Firstly, 1904 is divided by 2 to get 952.

 

Step 2: Now divide 952 by 2 to get 476.

 

Step 3: Then divide 476 by 2 to get 238.

 

Step 4: Divide 238 by 2 to get 119. Here, 59 is a prime number and the smallest prime factor that cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1904 is: 2^4 × 59.

 

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 1904: (1, 1904), (2, 952), (4, 476), (8, 238), (16, 119), and (32, 59).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1904: (-1, -1904), (-2, -952), (-4, -476), (-8, -238), (-16, -119), and (-32, -59).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1904

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

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 the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1904, 1 and 1904 are also factors.

Factors of 1904 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 32 apples and 1904 seeds. How will they distribute the seeds equally?

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

They will get 59 seeds each.

Explanation

To divide the seeds equally, we need to divide the total seeds by the number of apples.

1904/32 = 59

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 16 meters and a total area of 1904 square meters. Find the width.

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

119 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 1904 = 16 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 16 to the left side.

1904/16 = width

Width = 119.

Problem 3

There are 8 boxes and 1904 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 238 marbles.

Explanation

To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles by the number of boxes.

1904/8 = 238

Problem 4

In a class, there are 119 students and 16 teams. How many students are in each team?

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

There are 7 students in each team.

Explanation

Dividing the students by the total teams, we will get the number of students in each team.

119/16 = 7.4375

Note: Since students cannot be divided into fractions, the context might require different handling.
