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 1170, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1170 evenly are known as factors of 1170. A factor of 1170 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 1170 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, 18, 26, 30, 39, 45, 65, 78, 90, 117, 130, 195, 234, 390, 585, and 1170.
Negative factors of 1170: -1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -9, -10, -13, -15, -18, -26, -30, -39, -45, -65, -78, -90, -117, -130, -195, -234, -390, -585, and -1170.
Prime factors of 1170: 2, 3, 5, and 13.
Prime factorization of 1170: 2 × 32 × 5 × 13.
The sum of factors of 1170: 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 9 + 10 + 13 + 15 + 18 + 26 + 30 + 39 + 45 + 65 + 78 + 90 + 117 + 130 + 195 + 234 + 390 + 585 + 1170 = 3384
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 1170. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1170 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1170 by 1, 1170 × 1 = 1170.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1170 after multiplying
2 × 585 = 1170
3 × 390 = 1170
5 × 234 = 1170
6 × 195 = 1170
9 × 130 = 1170
10 × 117 = 1170
13 × 90 = 1170
15 × 78 = 1170
18 × 65 = 1170
26 × 45 = 1170
30 × 39 = 1170
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1170 are: (1, 1170), (2, 585), (3, 390), (5, 234), (6, 195), (9, 130), (10, 117), (13, 90), (15, 78), (18, 65), (26, 45), and (30, 39). 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 1170 by 1, 1170 ÷ 1 = 1170.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1170 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1170 ÷ 1 = 1170
1170 ÷ 2 = 585
1170 ÷ 3 = 390
1170 ÷ 5 = 234
1170 ÷ 6 = 195
1170 ÷ 9 = 130
1170 ÷ 10 = 117
1170 ÷ 13 = 90
1170 ÷ 15 = 78
1170 ÷ 18 = 65
1170 ÷ 26 = 45
1170 ÷ 30 = 39
Therefore, the factors of 1170 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, 18, 26, 30, 39, 45, 65, 78, 90, 117, 130, 195, 234, 390, 585, and 1170.
The factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1170 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1170 ÷ 2 = 585
585 ÷ 3 = 195
195 ÷ 3 = 65
65 ÷ 5 = 13
13 ÷ 13 = 1
The prime factors of 1170 are 2, 3, 5, and 13. The prime factorization of 1170 is: 2 × 32 × 5 × 13.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1170 is divided by 2 to get 585.
Step 2: Now divide 585 by 3 to get 195.
Step 3: Then divide 195 by 3 to get 65.
Step 4: Divide 65 by 5 to get 13. Here, 13 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1170 is: 2 × 3^2 × 5 × 13.
Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
