Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1901, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1901 evenly are known as factors of 1901.
A factor of 1901 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1901 are 1 and 1901 since 1901 is a prime number.
Negative factors of 1901: -1 and -1901.
Prime factors of 1901: 1901 itself, as it is a prime number.
Prime factorization of 1901: 1901.
The sum of factors of 1901: 1 + 1901 = 1902
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 1901. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1901 is the multiplication method. Since 1901 is a prime number, it can only be multiplied by 1 and itself:
Step 1: Multiply 1901 by 1, 1901 × 1 = 1901.
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1901 are: (1, 1901). 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 1901 by 1, 1901 ÷ 1 = 1901.
Step 2: Check divisibility by numbers up to the square root of 1901 and find that only 1 and 1901 divide evenly.\
Therefore, the factors of 1901 are: 1 and 1901.
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 1901 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
Since 1901 is a prime number itself, the prime factorization of 1901 is: 1901.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 1901 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. Therefore, the prime factorization of 1901 is simply: 1901.
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 1901: (1, 1901).
Negative factor pairs of 1901: (-1, -1901).
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 1901 apples and 1 basket. How will you distribute them?
All 1901 apples will go into the basket.
All apples are placed in the basket since 1901 can only be distributed by 1 evenly.
1901/1 = 1901
A library has 1901 books, and they are to be placed on a single shelf. How many books will the shelf hold?
The shelf will hold 1901 books.
Since all books need to be placed on one shelf:
1901/1 = 1901
A farmer has a single plot of land with 1901 square meters. How many plots of 1 square meter each can he divide it into?
1901 plots of 1 square meter each.
To divide the land into smaller plots:
1901/1 = 1901
There is a single event with 1901 seats. How many people will fill the seats if each person occupies one seat?
1901 people will fill the seats.
Each person occupying one seat results in:
1901/1 = 1901
A large parcel contains 1901 individual packets. How many packets will one receive if they receive the entire parcel?
One person will receive 1901 packets.
The entire parcel contains:
1901/1 = 1901
