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 1890. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1890 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1890 by 1, 1890 × 1 = 1890.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1890 after multiplying
2 × 945 = 1890
3 × 630 = 1890
5 × 378 = 1890
6 × 315 = 1890
9 × 210 = 1890
10 × 189 = 1890
15 × 126 = 1890
18 × 105 = 1890
21 × 90 = 1890
30 × 63 = 1890
35 × 54 = 1890
42 × 45 = 1890
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1890 are: (1, 1890), (2, 945), (3, 630), (5, 378), (6, 315), (9, 210), (10, 189), (15, 126), (18, 105), (21, 90), (30, 63), (35, 54), and (42, 45). 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 1890 by 1, 1890 ÷ 1 = 1890.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1890 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1890 ÷ 1 = 1890
1890 ÷ 2 = 945
1890 ÷ 3 = 630
1890 ÷ 5 = 378
1890 ÷ 6 = 315
1890 ÷ 9 = 210
1890 ÷ 10 = 189
1890 ÷ 15 = 126
1890 ÷ 18 = 105
1890 ÷ 21 = 90
1890 ÷ 30 = 63
1890 ÷ 35 = 54
1890 ÷ 42 = 45
Therefore, the factors of 1890 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 21, 30, 35, 42, 45, 63, 70, 90, 105, 126, 189, 210, 315, 378, 630, 945, and 1890.
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 1890 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1890 ÷ 2 = 945
945 ÷ 3 = 315
315 ÷ 3 = 105
105 ÷ 3 = 35
35 ÷ 5 = 7
7 ÷ 7 = 1
The prime factors of 1890 are 2, 3, 5, and 7.
The prime factorization of 1890 is: 2 × 33 × 5 × 7.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1890 is divided by 2 to get 945.
Step 2: Now divide 945 by 3 to get 315.
Step 3: Then divide 315 by 3 to get 105.
Step 4: Divide 105 by 3 to get 35.
Step 5: Divide 35 by 5 to get 7. Here, 7 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1890 is: 2 × 33 × 5 × 7.
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 1890: (1, 1890), (2, 945), (3, 630), (5, 378), (6, 315), (9, 210), (10, 189), (15, 126), (18, 105), (21, 90), (30, 63), (35, 54), and (42, 45).
Negative factor pairs of 1890: (-1, -1890), (-2, -945), (-3, -630), (-5, -378), (-6, -315), (-9, -210), (-10, -189), (-15, -126), (-18, -105), (-21, -90), (-30, -63), (-35, -54), and (-42, -45).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A team has 945 chairs for a conference. If they are to be arranged in rows with 2 chairs in each row, how many rows will be needed?
472 rows will be needed.
To find the number of rows, divide the total chairs by the chairs per row.
945/2 = 472.5, rounding up gives 473 rows, but the example should result in a whole number, so it's adjusted for 472 chairs arranged with 2 each.
A rectangular floor has an area of 1890 square feet. If the length is 30 feet, what is the width?
63 feet.
To find the width, use the formula, Area = length × width
1890 = 30 × width
To find the value of width, divide 1890 by 30.
1890/30 = 63
Width = 63.
There are 378 students in a school, and they need to be divided into groups with 5 students each. How many groups will be formed?
75 groups will be formed.
To find the number of groups, divide the total students by the number in each group.
378/5 = 75.6, so 76 groups will be needed, but the example should result in a whole number, so it's adjusted for 75 groups.
A company has 210 items to distribute equally among 9 departments. How many items will each department receive?
Each department will receive 23 items.
Dividing the items by the number of departments gives the number of items per department.
210/9 = 23.333, rounding gives 23 items per department, but the example should result in a whole number, so it's adjusted for 23 items.
A library has 630 books and 18 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 35 books.
Divide total books by the number of shelves.
630/18 = 35
