Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1642. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1642 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 1642 by 1, 1642 × 1 = 1642. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1642 after multiplying 2 × 821 = 1642 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1642 are: (1, 1642) and (2, 821). All these factor pairs result in 1642. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 1642 by 1, 1642 ÷ 1 = 1642. Step 2: Continue dividing 1642 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 1642 ÷ 1 = 1642 1642 ÷ 2 = 821 Therefore, the factors of 1642 are: 1, 2, 821, and 1642.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing 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 1642 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 1642 ÷ 2 = 821 821 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. The prime factors of 1642 are 2 and 821. The prime factorization of 1642 is: 2 × 821.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 1642 is divided by 2 to get 821. Step 2: 821 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1642 is: 2 × 821. 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 1642: (1, 1642) and (2, 821). Negative factor pairs of 1642: (-1, -1642) and (-2, -821).

Problem 1

There are 4 families and 1642 apples. How will they divide them equally?

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

They will get 410.5 apples each.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples with the number of families. 1642/4 = 410.5

Problem 2

A piece of land is rectangular, the length of the land is 2 meters and the total area is 1642 square meters. Find the width?

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

821 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the land, we use the formula, Area = length × width 1642 = 2 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 2 to the left side. 1642/2 = width Width = 821.
