How to Find Factors of 1914?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
- Finding factors using multiplication
- Finding factors using the 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 1914. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1914 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1914 by 1, 1914 × 1 = 1914.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1914 after multiplying
2 × 957 = 1914
3 × 638 = 1914
6 × 319 = 1914
9 × 212 = 1914
18 × 106 = 1914
53 × 36 = 1914
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1914 are: (1, 1914), (2, 957), (3, 638), (6, 319), (9, 212), (18, 106), and (53, 36). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1914 by 1, 1914 ÷ 1 = 1914.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1914 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1914 ÷ 1 = 1914
1914 ÷ 2 = 957
1914 ÷ 3 = 638
1914 ÷ 6 = 319
1914 ÷ 9 = 212
1914 ÷ 18 = 106
1914 ÷ 53 = 36
Therefore, the factors of 1914 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 53, 106, 159, 318, 477, 954, 1914.
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 a factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1914 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1914 ÷ 2 = 957
957 ÷ 3 = 319
319 ÷ 3 = 106
106 ÷ 53 = 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1
The prime factors of 1914 are 2, 3, and 53.
The prime factorization of 1914 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 53.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1914 is divided by 2 to get 957.
Step 2: Now divide 957 by 3 to get 319.
Step 3: Then divide 319 by 3 to get 106.
Step 4: Divide 106 by 53 to get 2. Here, 2 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1914 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 53.
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 1914: (1, 1914), (2, 957), (3, 638), (6, 319), (9, 212), (18, 106), (53, 36).
Negative factor pairs of 1914: (-1, -1914), (-2, -957), (-3, -638), (-6, -319), (-9, -212), (-18, -106), (-53, -36).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1914
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 1914, 1 and 1914 are also factors.
Factors of 1914 Examples
Problem 1
A group of 6 friends wants to evenly distribute 1914 trading cards. How many cards does each friend get?
Each friend will get 319 cards.
Explanation
To divide the cards equally, divide the total cards by the number of friends.
1914/6 = 319
Problem 2
A rectangular field has a length of 53 meters and a total area of 1914 square meters. Find the width.
36 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the field, use the formula, Area = length × width
1914 = 53 × width
To find the value of width, divide 1914 by 53.
1914/53 = width
Width = 36.
Problem 3
There are 318 apples to be distributed among 9 baskets equally. How many apples will each basket contain?
Each basket will contain 35 apples.
Explanation
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the baskets.
318/9 = 35
Problem 4
A class has 106 students, and they need to form 18 groups. How many students will be in each group?
There will be approximately 5 students in each group.
Explanation
Dividing the students by the total groups, we find the number of students in each group.
106/18 ≈ 5.89 (round down to the nearest whole number for equal groups)
Problem 5
A library has 954 books that need to be arranged in 53 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 18 books.
Explanation
Divide the total number of books by the number of shelves.
954/53 = 18
