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 1780, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1780 evenly are known as factors of 1780.
A factor of 1780 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1780 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 89, 178, 356, 445, 890, and 1780.
Negative factors of 1780: -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -20, -89, -178, -356, -445, -890, and -1780.
Prime factors of 1780: 2, 5, and 89.
Prime factorization of 1780: 2² × 5 × 89.
The sum of factors of 1780: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 89 + 178 + 356 + 445 + 890 + 1780 = 3780
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 1780. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1780 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1780 by 1, 1780 × 1 = 1780.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1780 after multiplying:
2 × 890 = 1780
4 × 445 = 1780
5 × 356 = 1780
10 × 178 = 1780
20 × 89 = 1780
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1780 are: (1, 1780), (2, 890), (4, 445), (5, 356), (10, 178), (20, 89).
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 the simple division method:
Step 1: Divide 1780 by 1, 1780 ÷ 1 = 1780.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1780 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1780 ÷ 1 = 1780
1780 ÷ 2 = 890
1780 ÷ 4 = 445
1780 ÷ 5 = 356
1780 ÷ 10 = 178
1780 ÷ 20 = 89
Therefore, the factors of 1780 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 89, 178, 356, 445, 890, 1780.
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 1780 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1780 ÷ 2 = 890
890 ÷ 2 = 445
445 ÷ 5 = 89
89 ÷ 89 = 1
The prime factors of 1780 are 2, 5, and 89.
The prime factorization of 1780 is: 2² × 5 × 89.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:
Step 1: Firstly, 1780 is divided by 2 to get 890.
Step 2: Now divide 890 by 2 to get 445.
Step 3: Then divide 445 by 5 to get 89.
Here, 89 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1780 is: 2² × 5 × 89.
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 1780: (1, 1780), (2, 890), (4, 445), (5, 356), (10, 178), and (20, 89).
Negative factor pairs of 1780: (-1, -1780), (-2, -890), (-4, -445), (-5, -356), (-10, -178), and (-20, -89).
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 10 teams and 1780 trophies. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 178 trophies each.
To divide the trophies equally, we need to divide the total trophies by the number of teams.
1780/10 = 178
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 20 meters and the total area is 1780 square meters. Find the width?
89 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1780 = 20 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 20 to the left side.
1780/20 = width
Width = 89.
There are 356 candies and 1780 wrappers. How many wrappers will be used for each candy?
Each candy will have 5 wrappers.
To find the wrappers for each candy, divide the total wrappers by the candies.
1780/356 = 5
In a sports competition, there are 1780 participants and 5 event sections. How many participants are there in each section?
There are 356 participants in each section.
Dividing the participants by the total sections, we will get the number of participants in each section.
1780/5 = 356
1780 books need to be arranged in 10 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 178 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
1780/10 = 178
