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 778, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 778 evenly are known as factors of 778.
A factor of 778 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 778 are 1, 2, 389, and 778.
Negative factors of 778: -1, -2, -389, and -778.
Prime factors of 778: 2 and 389.
Prime factorization of 778: 2 × 389.
The sum of factors of 778: 1 + 2 + 389 + 778 = 1170
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 778. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 778 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 778 by 1, 778 × 1 = 778.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 778 after multiplying 2 × 389 = 778
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 778 are: (1, 778) and (2, 389).
All these factor pairs result in 778.
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 778 by 1, 778 ÷ 1 = 778.
Step 2: Continue dividing 778 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
778 ÷ 1 = 778
778 ÷ 2 = 389
Therefore, the factors of 778 are: 1, 2, 389, 778.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 778 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
778 ÷ 2 = 389
389 ÷ 389 = 1
The prime factors of 778 are 2 and 389.
The prime factorization of 778 is: 2 × 389.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 778 is divided by 2 to get 389.
Step 2: Now divide 389 by 389 to get 1. Here, 389 is a prime number, which cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 778 is: 2 × 389.
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 778: (1, 778) and (2, 389).
Negative factor pairs of 778: (-1, -778) and (-2, -389).
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 778 apples and 2 baskets. How will they divide them equally?
Each basket will get 389 apples.
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets.
778/2 = 389
A rectangular field has a width of 389 meters and a total area of 778 square meters. Find the length.
2 meters.
To find the length of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
778 = length × 389
To find the value of the length, we need to shift 389 to the left side.
778/389 = length
Length = 2.
There are 1,556 pages to be printed and each printer can print 778 pages. How many printers are needed?
2 printers are needed.
To find the number of printers needed, divide the total pages by the pages each printer can print.
1556/778 = 2
In a class, there are 778 students, and the teacher wants to form groups of 389. How many groups will be formed?
2 groups will be formed.
Dividing the students by the desired group size, we will get the number of groups.
778/389 = 2
778 books need to be arranged in 2 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves will have 389 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
778/2 = 389
