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 1036, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1036 evenly are known as factors of 1036.
A factor of 1036 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1036 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 28, 37, 52, 74, 91, 148, 259, 518, and 1036.
Negative factors of 1036: -1, -2, -4, -7, -13, -14, -28, -37, -52, -74, -91, -148, -259, -518, and -1036.
Prime factors of 1036: 2, 7, and 37.
Prime factorization of 1036: 2² × 7 × 37.
The sum of factors of 1036: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 13 + 14 + 28 + 37 + 52 + 74 + 91 + 148 + 259 + 518 + 1036 = 2286
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 1036. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1036 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1036 by 1, 1036 × 1 = 1036.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1036 after multiplying
2 × 518 = 1036
4 × 259 = 1036
7 × 148 = 1036
14 × 74 = 1036
28 × 37 = 1036
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1036 are: (1, 1036), (2, 518), (4, 259), (7, 148), (14, 74), (28, 37). All these factor pairs result in 1036. 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 the simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1036 by 1, 1036 ÷ 1 = 1036.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1036 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1036 ÷ 1 = 1036
1036 ÷ 2 = 518
1036 ÷ 4 = 259
1036 ÷ 7 = 148
1036 ÷ 13 = 79.692 (not a factor)
1036 ÷ 14 = 74
1036 ÷ 28 = 37
Therefore, the factors of 1036 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 37, 52, 74, 91, 148, 259, 518, 1036.
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 1036 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1036 ÷ 2 = 518
518 ÷ 2 = 259
259 ÷ 7 = 37
37 ÷ 37 = 1
The prime factors of 1036 are 2, 7, and 37.
The prime factorization of 1036 is: 2² × 7 × 37.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1036 is divided by 2 to get 518.
Step 2: Now divide 518 by 2 to get 259.
Step 3: Then divide 259 by 7 to get 37.
Step 4: 37 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1036 is: 2² × 7 × 37.
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 1036: (1, 1036), (2, 518), (4, 259), (7, 148), (14, 74), (28, 37).
Negative factor pairs of 1036: (-1, -1036), (-2, -518), (-4, -259), (-7, -148), (-14, -74), (-28, -37).
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 1036 apples and 28 baskets. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 37 apples.
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets.
1036/28 = 37
A rectangular garden has a length of 14 meters and a total area of 1036 square meters. Find the width.
74 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1036 = 14 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 14 to the left side.
1036/14 = width
Width = 74.
A factory produces 1036 widgets in 37 batches. How many widgets are in each batch?
Each batch will have 28 widgets.
To find the number of widgets in each batch, divide the total widgets by the number of batches.
1036/37 = 28
There are 148 students in a school and they are to be evenly divided into 7 classes. How many students will be in each class?
There are 21 students in each class.
Dividing the students with the total classes, we will get the number of students in each class.
148/7 = 21
A warehouse has 1036 boxes and needs to arrange them in 4 rows. How many boxes will each row contain?
Each row will have 259 boxes.
Divide the total boxes by the number of rows.
1036/4 = 259
