Factors of 226

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 226, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 226?

The numbers that divide 226 evenly are known as factors of 226.

 

A factor of 226 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 226 are 1, 2, 113, and 226.

 

Negative factors of 226: -1, -2, -113, and -226.

 

Prime factors of 226: 2 and 113.

 

Prime factorization of 226: 2 × 113.

 

The sum of factors of 226: 1 + 2 + 113 + 226 = 342

How to Find Factors of 226?

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
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 226. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 226 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 226 by 1, 226 × 1 = 226.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 226 after multiplying

 

2 × 113 = 226

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 226 are: (1, 226) and (2, 113).

 

All these factor pairs result in 226.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 226 by 1, 226 ÷ 1 = 226.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 226 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

226 ÷ 1 = 226

226 ÷ 2 = 113

 

Therefore, the factors of 226 are: 1, 2, 113, 226.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it 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 226 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

226 ÷ 2 = 113

113 ÷ 113 = 1

 

The prime factors of 226 are 2 and 113.

 

The prime factorization of 226 is: 2 × 113.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 226 is divided by 2 to get 113.

 

Step 2: Now divide 113 by itself to get 1.

 

Here, 113 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 226 is: 2 × 113.

 

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 226: (1, 226) and (2, 113).

 

Negative factor pairs of 226: (-1, -226) and (-2, -113).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 226

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 226, 1 and 226 are also factors.

Factors of 226 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 113 students and 226 apples. How will they distribute them equally?

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

Each student will get 2 apples.

Explanation

To distribute the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of students.

 

226/113 = 2

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 113 meters and a total area of 226 square meters. Find the width.

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

2 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

226 = 113 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 113 to the left side.

 

226/113 = width

 

Width = 2.

Problem 3

There are 2 crates and 226 oranges. How many oranges will be in each crate?

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

Each crate will have 113 oranges.

Explanation

To find the oranges in each crate, divide the total oranges by the crates.

 

226/2 = 113

Problem 4

In a class, there are 226 students, and they are to be divided into groups of 2. How many students are there in each group?

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

There are 113 groups.

Explanation

Dividing the students with the number of students per group, we will get the number of groups.

 

226/2 = 113
