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 1331, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1331 evenly are known as factors of 1331.
A factor of 1331 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1331 are 1, 11, 121, and 1331.
Negative factors of 1331: -1, -11, -121, and -1331.
Prime factors of 1331: 11.
Prime factorization of 1331: 11³.
The sum of factors of 1331: 1 + 11 + 121 + 1331 = 1464
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 1331. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1331 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1331 by 1, 1331 × 1 = 1331.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1331 after multiplying 11 × 121 = 1331
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1331 are: (1, 1331) and (11, 121).
All these factor pairs result in 1331.
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 1331 by 1, 1331 ÷ 1 = 1331.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1331 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1331 ÷ 1 = 1331
1331 ÷ 11 = 121
1331 ÷ 121 = 11
Therefore, the factors of 1331 are: 1, 11, 121, 1331.
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 1331 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1331 ÷ 11 = 121
121 ÷ 11 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
The prime factor of 1331 is 11.
The prime factorization of 1331 is: 11³.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1331 is divided by 11 to get 121.
Step 2: Now divide 121 by 11 to get 11.
Step 3: Divide 11 by 11 to get 1. So, the prime factorization of 1331 is: 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 1331: (1, 1331), (11, 121).
Negative factor pairs of 1331: (-1, -1331), (-11, -121).
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 11 teams and 1331 points to distribute. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 121 points each.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.
1331/11 = 121
A garden is square-shaped with an area of 1331 square meters. Find the length of one side.
The length of one side is 11 meters.
To find the length of one side of a square, we use the formula,
Area = side²
1331 = side²
To find the value of the side, take the square root of 1331.
√1331 = 11
There are 121 boxes and 1331 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 11 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the boxes.
1331/121 = 11
In a competition, there are 1331 participants, and 11 groups. How many participants are there in each group?
There are 121 participants in each group.
Dividing the participants by the total groups, we will get the number of participants in each group.
1331/11 = 121
1331 books need to be arranged in 11 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 121 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
1331/11 = 121
