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 535, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 535 evenly are known as factors of 535.
A factor of 535 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 535 are 1, 5, 107, and 535.
Negative factors of 535: -1, -5, -107, and -535.
Prime factors of 535: 5 and 107.
Prime factorization of 535: 5 × 107.
The sum of factors of 535: 1 + 5 + 107 + 535 = 648
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 535. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 535 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 535 by 1, 535 × 1 = 535.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 535 after multiplying 5 × 107 = 535
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 535 are: (1, 535) and (5, 107).
All these factor pairs result in 535.
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 535 by 1, 535 ÷ 1 = 535.
Step 2: Continue dividing 535 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
535 ÷ 1 = 535
535 ÷ 5 = 107
535 ÷ 107 = 5
Therefore, the factors of 535 are: 1, 5, 107, 535.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 535 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
535 ÷ 5 = 107
107 ÷ 107 = 1
The prime factors of 535 are 5 and 107.
The prime factorization of 535 is: 5 × 107.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 535 is divided by 5 to get 107.
Step 2: Now divide 107 by 107 to get 1.
Here, 107 is a prime number, which cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 535 is: 5 × 107.
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 535: (1, 535) and (5, 107).
Negative factor pairs of 535: (-1, -535) and (-5, -107).
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 5 friends and 535 chocolates. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 107 chocolates each.
To divide the chocolates equally, we need to divide the total chocolates by the number of friends.
535/5 = 107
A rectangular garden has a width of 5 meters and a total area of 535 square meters. Find the length.
107 meters.
To find the length of the garden, we use the formula
, Area = length × width
535 = length × 5
To find the value of the length, we need to shift 5 to the left side.
535/5 = length
Length = 107.
There are 107 boxes and 535 apples. How many apples will be in each box?
Each box will have 5 apples.
To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the boxes.
535/107 = 5
In a class, there are 535 students and 5 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 107 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
535/5 = 107
535 books need to be arranged in 5 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 107 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
535/5 = 107
