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 377, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 377 evenly are known as factors of 377. A factor of 377 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 377 are 1, 13, 29, and 377.
Negative factors of 377: -1, -13, -29, and -377.
Prime factors of 377: 13 and 29.
Prime factorization of 377: 13 × 29.
The sum of factors of 377: 1 + 13 + 29 + 377 = 420
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 377. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 377 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 377 by 1, 377 × 1 = 377.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 377 after multiplying
13 × 29 = 377
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 377 are: (1, 377) and (13, 29). All these factor pairs result in 377. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 377 by 1, 377 ÷ 1 = 377.
Step 2: Continue dividing 377 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
377 ÷ 1 = 377
377 ÷ 13 = 29
Therefore, the factors of 377 are: 1, 13, 29, 377.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 377 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
377 ÷ 13 = 29
29 ÷ 29 = 1
The prime factors of 377 are 13 and 29.
The prime factorization of 377 is: 13 × 29.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 377 is divided by 13 to get 29.
Step 2: Now divide 29 by 29 to get 1. Here, both 13 and 29 are prime numbers, and they cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 377 is: 13 × 29.
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 377: (1, 377) and (13, 29).
Negative factor pairs of 377: (-1, -377) and (-13, -29).
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 13 teams and 377 points. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 29 points each.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.
377/13 = 29
A banner is rectangular, the length of the banner is 13 meters and the total area is 377 square meters. Find the width?
29 meters.
To find the width of the banner, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
377 = 13 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 13 to the left side
. 377/13 = width
Width = 29.
There are 29 boxes and 377 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?
Each box will have 13 marbles.
To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles by the number of boxes.
377/29 = 13
In a class, there are 377 students, and 29 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 13 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
377/29 = 13
377 chairs need to be arranged in 13 rows. How many chairs will go in each row?
Each of the rows has 29 chairs.
Divide total chairs by rows.
377/13 = 29
