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 219, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 219 evenly are known as factors of 219.
A factor of 219 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 219 are 1, 3, 73, and 219.
Negative factors of 219: -1, -3, -73, and -219.
Prime factors of 219: 3 and 73.
Prime factorization of 219: 3 × 73.
The sum of factors of 219: 1 + 3 + 73 + 219 = 296
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 219. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 219 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 219 by 1, 219 × 1 = 219.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 219 after multiplying
3 × 73 = 219
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 219 are: (1, 219) and (3, 73).
All these factor pairs result in 219.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 219 by 1, 219 ÷ 1 = 219.
Step 2: Continue dividing 219 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
219 ÷ 1 = 219
219 ÷ 3 = 73
Therefore, the factors of 219 are: 1, 3, 73, and 219.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 219 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
219 ÷ 3 = 73
73 ÷ 73 = 1
The prime factors of 219 are 3 and 73.
The prime factorization of 219 is: 3 × 73.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 219 is divided by 3 to get 73.
Step 2: Now divide 73 by 73 to get 1.
Here, 73 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.
So, the prime factorization of 219 is: 3 × 73.
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 219: (1, 219) and (3, 73).
Negative factor pairs of 219: (-1, -219) and (-3, -73).
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 3 teams and 219 participants in a competition. How will they divide the participants equally?
Each team will have 73 participants.
To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.
219/3 = 73
A runner completes a distance of 219 meters in 3 equal laps. How long is each lap?
Each lap is 73 meters.
To find the length of each lap, we use the formula, Total distance = number of laps × length of each lap
219 = 3 × length of each lap
To find the value of each lap, we need to shift 3 to the left side.
219/3 = length of each lap
Length of each lap = 73.
There are 219 apples and 73 baskets. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 3 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
219/73 = 3
In a conference, there are 219 attendees and 3 rooms. How many attendees are there in each room?
There are 73 attendees in each room.
Dividing the attendees by the total rooms, we will get the number of attendees in each room.
219/3 = 73
219 books need to be arranged in 73 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 3 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
219/73 = 3
