What are the Factors of 1361?

The numbers that divide 1361 evenly are known as factors of 1361.

 

A factor of 1361 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1361 are 1 and 1361.

 

Negative factors of 1361: -1 and -1361.

 

Prime factors of 1361: 1361 (since it is a prime number).

 

Prime factorization of 1361: 1361 × 1.

 

The sum of factors of 1361: 1 + 1361 = 1362

How to Find Factors of 1361?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1361. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1361 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1361 by 1, 1361 × 1 = 1361. There are no other multiplication pairs since 1361 is a prime number.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1361 are: (1, 1361).

 

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 1361 by 1, 1361 ÷ 1 = 1361. Since 1361 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by any other whole number except itself. Therefore, the factors of 1361 are: 1 and 1361.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1361 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. Since 1361 is a prime number, the only prime factors are itself.

 

The prime factorization of 1361 is: 1361 × 1.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

Since 1361 is a prime number, a factor tree would simply show 1361 branching directly to 1.

 

The prime factorization of 1361 is: 1361 × 1

 

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 1361: (1, 1361).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1361: (-1, -1361).

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 1361, 1 and 1361 is also a factor.

Problem 2

A field is square, and its side length is 1361 meters. What is the perimeter?

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

The perimeter is 5444 meters.

Explanation

To find the perimeter of a square, we use the formula,

 

Perimeter = 4 × side length

 

Perimeter = 4 × 1361 Perimeter = 5444 meters
