Factors of 1891
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 1891, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1891?
The numbers that divide 1891 evenly are known as factors of 1891.
A factor of 1891 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1891 are 1, 11, 17, 121, 187, and 1891.
Negative factors of 1891: -1, -11, -17, -121, -187, and -1891.
Prime factors of 1891: 11 and 17.
Prime factorization of 1891: 11 × 17.
The sum of factors of 1891: 1 + 11 + 17 + 121 + 187 + 1891 = 2228
How to Find Factors of 1891?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
- Finding factors using multiplication
- Finding factors using division method
- Prime factors and Prime factorization
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1891. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1891 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1891 by 1, 1891 × 1 = 1891.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1891 after multiplying 11 × 17 = 1891
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1891 are: (1, 1891), (11, 17). All these factor pairs result in 1891. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
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 1891 by 1, 1891 ÷ 1 = 1891.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1891 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1891 ÷ 1 = 1891
1891 ÷ 11 = 17
1891 ÷ 17 = 11
Therefore, the factors of 1891 are: 1, 11, 17, 121, 187, and 1891.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
- Using prime factorization
- Using factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1891 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1891 ÷ 11 = 17
17 ÷ 17 = 1
The prime factors of 1891 are 11 and 17.
The prime factorization of 1891 is: 11 × 17.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1891 is divided by 11 to get 17.
Step 2: 17 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1891 is: 11 × 17.
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 1891: (1, 1891), (11, 17).
Negative factor pairs of 1891: (-1, -1891), (-11, -17).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1891
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1891, 1 and 1891 are also factors.
Factors of 1891 Examples
Problem 1
There are 11 books and 1891 pages. How will they distribute the pages equally?
Each book will have 17 pages.
Explanation
To distribute the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages by the number of books.
1891/11 = 17
Problem 2
A rectangular garden has a length of 17 meters and a total area of 1891 square meters. What is the width?
111 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width
1891 = 17 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 17 to the left side.
1891/17 = width
Width = 111.
Problem 3
There are 17 buses and 1891 passengers. How many passengers will be in each bus?
Each bus will have 111 passengers.
Explanation
To find the passengers in each bus, divide the total passengers by the number of buses.
1891/17 = 111
Problem 4
A concert hall has 1891 seats and 17 sections. How many seats are there in each section?
There are 111 seats in each section.
Explanation
Dividing the seats by the total sections, we will get the number of seats in each section.
1891/17 = 111
Problem 5
1891 apples need to be packed into 11 crates. How many apples will go in each crate?
Each crate will have 17 apples.
Explanation
Divide the total apples by the crates.
1891/11 = 17
