Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 1598, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1598 evenly are known as factors of 1598.
A factor of 1598 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1598 are 1, 2, 23, 46, 69, 92, 799, and 1598.
Negative factors of 1598: -1, -2, -23, -46, -69, -92, -799, and -1598.
Prime factors of 1598: 2 and 23.
Prime factorization of 1598: 2 × 23 × 23.
The sum of the factors of 1598: 1 + 2 + 23 + 46 + 69 + 92 + 799 + 1598 = 2630
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 1598. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1598 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1598 by 1, 1598 × 1 = 1598.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1598 after multiplying
2 × 799 = 1598
23 × 69 = 1598
46 × 34.7391 (not a whole number, so 34.7391 is not a factor)
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1598 are: (1, 1598), (2, 799), (23, 69).
All these factor pairs result in 1598. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with 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 1598 by 1, 1598 ÷ 1 = 1598.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1598 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1598 ÷ 1 = 1598
1598 ÷ 2 = 799
1598 ÷ 23 = 69
1598 ÷ 46 = 34.
7391 (not a whole number, so 46 is not a factor)
Therefore, the factors of 1598 are: 1, 2, 23, 46, 69, 92, 799, 1598.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1598 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1598 ÷ 2 = 799
799 ÷ 23 = 34.
7391 (since 799 cannot be divided further by 23, 23 is the prime factor) The prime factors of 1598 are 2 and 23.
The prime factorization of 1598 is: 2 × 23 × 23.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1598 is divided by 2 to get 799.
Step 2: Now divide 799 by 23 to get a non-whole number, confirming 23 as a prime factor.
Here, 23 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1598 is: 2 × 23 × 23.
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 1598: (1, 1598), (2, 799), (23, 69).
Negative factor pairs of 1598: (-1, -1598), (-2, -799), (-23, -69).
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 23 students and 1598 pages in total. How many pages will each student get if divided equally?
Each student will get 69 pages.
To divide the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages by the number of students.
1598 ÷ 23 = 69
A plot of land is rectangular, the length of the plot is 46 meters and the total area is 1598 square meters. Find the width.
34.7391 meters.
To find the width of the plot, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1598 = 46 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 46 to the left side.
1598 ÷ 46 = width
Width = 34.7391 (not a whole number, hence 46 is not a factor)
There are 2 boxes and 1598 items. How many items will be in each box if divided equally?
Each box will have 799 items.
To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the boxes.
1598 ÷ 2 = 799
In a conference, there are 1598 chairs, and 23 rows. How many chairs are in each row?
There are 69 chairs in each row.
Dividing the chairs by the total rows, we will get the number of chairs in each row.
1598 ÷ 23 = 69
1598 books need to be arranged on 2 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 799 books.
Divide total books by the number of shelves.
1598 ÷ 2 = 799
