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 0.75, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 0.75 evenly are known as factors of 0.75. A factor of 0.75 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 0.75 are 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75. Negative factors of 0.75: -0.25, -0.5, and -0.75. Prime factors of 0.75: 3 and 2. Prime factorization of 0.75: 3 × 0.5 × 0.5. The sum of factors of 0.75: 0.25 + 0.5 + 0.75 = 1.5
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
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 0.75. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 0.75 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 0.75 by 1, 0.75 × 1 = 0.75. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 0.75 after multiplying 0.25 × 3 = 0.75 0.5 × 1.5 = 0.75 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 0.75 are: (0.25, 3), (0.5, 1.5), and (0.75, 1). 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 0.75 by 1, 0.75 ÷ 1 = 0.75. Step 2: Continue dividing 0.75 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 0.75 ÷ 0.25 = 3 0.75 ÷ 0.5 = 1.5 0.75 ÷ 0.75 = 1 Therefore, the factors of 0.75 are: 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a 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 0.75 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 0.75 ÷ 0.5 = 1.5 1.5 ÷ 0.5 = 3 3 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. The prime factors of 0.75 are 3 and 0.5. The prime factorization of 0.75 is: 3 × 0.5 × 0.5.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show - Step 1: Firstly, 0.75 is divided by 0.5 to get 1.5. Step 2: Now divide 1.5 by 0.5 to get 3. Here, 3 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 0.75 is: 3 × 0.5 × 0.5. 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 0.75: (0.25, 3), (0.5, 1.5), and (0.75, 1). Negative factor pairs of 0.75: (-0.25, -3), (-0.5, -1.5), and (-0.75, -1).
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 three friends and 0.75 liters of juice. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 0.25 liters each.
To divide the juice equally, we need to divide the total juice with the number of friends. 0.75/3 = 0.25
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 0.5 meters, and the total area is 0.75 square meters. Find the width?
1.5 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 0.75 = 0.5 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 0.5 to the left side. 0.75/0.5 = width Width = 1.5.
There are 0.75 kilograms of sugar and 3 containers. How much sugar will be in each container?
Each container will have 0.25 kilograms.
To find the sugar in each container, divide the total sugar with the containers. 0.75/3 = 0.25
In a class, there are 0.75 liters of paint and 5 groups. How much paint is there for each group?
There are 0.15 liters of paint for each group.
Dividing the paint with the total groups, we will get the amount of paint for each group. 0.75/5 = 0.15
0.75 kilograms of flour need to be packed in 5 bags. How much flour will go in each bag?
Each of the bags will have 0.15 kilograms.
Divide the total flour with the bags. 0.75/5 = 0.15
Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 0.75 are 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75. Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 3 is a prime factor of 0.75. Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pairs of 0.75 are (0.25, 3), (0.5, 1.5), etc. Prime factorization: Breaking down a number into its basic prime factors. For example, 0.75 can be expressed as 3 × 0.5 × 0.5. Multiplication method: A method to find factors by identifying pairs of numbers that give the product as the number in question, such as the pairs that multiply to 0.75.
