How to Find Factors of 38220?

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
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 38220. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 38220 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 38220 by 1, 38220 × 1 = 38220.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 38220 after multiplying:

2 × 19110 = 38220

3 × 12740 = 38220

4 × 9555 = 38220

5 × 7644 = 38220 ...

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 38220 include: (1, 38220), (2, 19110), (3, 12740), (4, 9555), (5, 7644), and so on. 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 results as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 38220 by 1, 38220 ÷ 1 = 38220.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 38220 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

38220 ÷ 1 = 38220

38220 ÷ 2 = 19110

38220 ÷ 3 = 12740

38220 ÷ 4 = 9555

38220 ÷ 5 = 7644 ...

 

Therefore, the factors of 38220 include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, and so on.

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 38220 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

38220 ÷ 2 = 19110

19110 ÷ 2 = 9555

9555 ÷ 3 = 3185

3185 ÷ 5 = 637

637 ÷ 191 = 1

 

The prime factors of 38220 are 2, 3, 5, and 191.

 

The prime factorization of 38220 is: 2^2 × 3 × 5 × 191.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:

 

Step 1: Firstly, 38220 is divided by 2 to get 19110.

 

Step 2: Now divide 19110 by 2 to get 9555.

 

Step 3: Then divide 9555 by 3 to get 3185.

 

Step 4: Divide 3185 by 5 to get 637. Here, 637 is divided by 191, which is a prime number. So, the prime factorization of 38220 is: 22 × 3 × 5 × 191.

 

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 38220 include: (1, 38220), (2, 19110), (3, 12740), and so on.

 

Negative factor pairs of 38220 include: (-1, -38220), (-2, -19110), (-3, -12740), and so on.

Problem 1

A company has 38220 units of a product and wants to distribute it equally among 5 regional offices. How many units will each office receive?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each office will receive 7644 units.

Explanation

To divide the units equally, we need to divide the total units by the number of offices.

38220 ÷ 5 = 7644

Problem 2

A rectangular area has a length of 573 meters and a total area of 38220 square meters. Find the width.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

66.7 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the area, we use the formula:

Area = length × width

38220 = 573 × width

To find the value of the width, we need to divide the total area by the length.

38220 ÷ 573 = 66.7
