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 1527, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1527 evenly are known as factors of 1527.
A factor of 1527 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1527 are 1, 3, 509, and 1527.
Negative factors of 1527: -1, -3, -509, and -1527.
Prime factors of 1527: 3 and 509.
Prime factorization of 1527: 3 × 509.
The sum of factors of 1527: 1 + 3 + 509 + 1527 = 2040
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 1527. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1527 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1527 by 1, 1527 × 1 = 1527.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1527 after multiplying 3 × 509 = 1527
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1527 are: (1, 1527) and (3, 509).
All these factor pairs result in 1527. 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 1527 by 1, 1527 ÷ 1 = 1527.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1527 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1527 ÷ 1 = 1527
1527 ÷ 3 = 509
Therefore, the factors of 1527 are: 1, 3, 509, and 1527.
The factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1527 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1527 ÷ 3 = 509 509 is a prime number.
The prime factors of 1527 are 3 and 509.
The prime factorization of 1527 is: 3 × 509.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1527 is divided by 3 to get 509.
Step 2: 509 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1527 is: 3 × 509.
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 1527: (1, 1527) and (3, 509).
Negative factor pairs of 1527: (-1, -1527) and (-3, -509).
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 3 teams and 1527 points. How will they divide the points equally?
They will get 509 points each.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.
1527/3 = 509
A rectangular plot has a length of 509 meters and a total area of 1527 square meters. Find the width.
3 meters.
To find the width of the plot, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1527 = 509 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 509 to the left side.
1527/509 = width
Width = 3.
There are 1527 candies and 509 boxes. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 3 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the boxes.
1527/509 = 3
In a school, there are 1527 students, and they need to be divided into 3 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 509 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
1527/3 = 509
1527 apples need to be distributed equally among 1 shelf. How many apples will go on the shelf?
The shelf will have 1527 apples.
Divide the total apples by the number of shelves.
1527/1 = 1527
