How to Find Factors of 5760?

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 pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 5760. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 5760 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 5760 by 1, 5760 × 1 = 5760.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 5760 after multiplying. Some examples include:

 

2 × 2880 = 5760

3 × 1920 = 5760

4 × 1440 = 5760

5 × 1152 = 5760

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 5760 are: (1, 5760), (2, 2880), (3, 1920), (4, 1440), (5, 1152), etc.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 5760 by 1, 5760 div 1 = 5760.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 5760 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

5760 / 1 = 5760

5760 / 2 = 2880

5760 / 3 = 1920

5760 / 4 = 1440

5760 / 5 = 1152

 

Therefore, the factors of 5760 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 64, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 240, 288, 320, 360, 480, 720, 960, 1152, 1440, 1920, 2880, 5760.

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 5760 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

5760/ 2 = 2880

2880 / 2 = 1440

1440 / 2 = 720

720 / 2 = 360

360 / 2 = 180

180 / 2 = 90

90 / 2 = 45

45 / 3 = 15

15 / 3 = 5

5 / 5 = 1

 

The prime factors of 5760 are 2, 3, and 5.

 

The prime factorization of 5760 is: 27 × 32  × 5.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show

 

Step 1: Firstly, 5760 is divided by 2 to get 2880.

 

Step 2: Now divide 2880 by 2 to get 1440.

 

Step 3: Then divide 1440 by 2 to get 720.

 

Step 4: Divide 720 by 2 to get 360. Continue this process, using 3 and 5 as necessary, to fully factorize 5760. So, the prime factorization of 5760 is: 27 × 32  × 5.

 

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 5760: (1, 5760), (2, 2880), (3, 1920), (4, 1440), (5, 1152), etc.

 

Negative factor pairs of 5760: (-1, -5760), (-2, -2880), (-3, -1920), (-4, -1440), (-5, -1152), etc.

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 5760, 1 and 5760 are also factors.

Problem 1

A factory produces 5760 widgets in a month, and they need to be packed in boxes of 240. How many boxes will they fill?

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

They will fill 24 boxes.

Explanation

To find the number of boxes, we need to divide the total widgets by the capacity of each box.

 

5760/240 = 24

Problem 2

A rectangular park has an area of 5760 square meters. If one side is 80 meters, what is the length of the other side?

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

72 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the other side, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

5760 = 80 × length

 

To find the value of length, divide the area by the given side.

 

5760/80 = length

 

Length = 72.

Problem 3

There are 1152 apples to be distributed equally among some baskets. If each basket can hold 48 apples, how many baskets are needed?

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

They need 24 baskets.

Explanation

To find the number of baskets, divide the total apples by the number of apples each basket can hold.

 

1152/48 = 24
