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 1801, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1801 evenly are known as factors of 1801.
A factor of 1801 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1801 are 1 and 1801, as 1801 is a prime number.
Negative factors of 1801: -1 and -1801.
Prime factors of 1801: 1801 (since it is a prime number).
The sum of factors of 1801: 1 + 1801 = 1802
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication for numbers like 1801, which is a prime number, we identify that no pairs of numbers aside from 1 and 1801 multiply to give 1801.
Hence, the multiplication method confirms that the positive factor pairs of 1801 are: (1, 1801).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number by whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1801 by 1, 1801 ÷ 1 = 1801.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1801 by numbers up to its square root to confirm it has no divisors other than 1 and 1801.
Therefore, the factors of 1801 are: 1 and 1801.
The factors can be found by dividing a number with prime numbers.
In the case of 1801, it is already a prime number, so its only prime factor is 1801 itself.
A factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors.
However, for 1801, which is a prime number, the factor tree is simply: 1801 / \ 1 1801
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 1801: (1, 1801).
Negative factor pairs of 1801: (-1, -1801).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common issues and the ways to avoid them.
There are 1801 apples to distribute among 5 villages equally. How many apples will each village get?
Not possible to divide equally.
Since 1801 is a prime number, it cannot be divided equally among 5 villages without having a remainder.
A garden has an area of 1801 square meters and a length of 1 meter. What is the width?
1801 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1801 = 1 × width
Width = 1801 meters.
A theater has 1801 seats arranged in one row. How many rows will there be if we arrange it into 1801 rows?
1 seat per row.
To arrange the seats into 1801 rows, divide the total seats by the number of rows.
1801/1801 = 1
If a storage has 1801 items and we want to create packs of 1 item each, how many packs can we create?
1801 packs.
Divide the total items by the number of items per pack.
1801/1 = 1801
1801 books need to be arranged in 1 large shelf. How many books will go on the shelf?
1801 books.
All books go on the shelf as it is one shelf.
1801/1 = 1801
