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 565, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 565 evenly are known as factors of 565.
A factor of 565 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 565 are 1, 5, 113, and 565.
Negative factors of 565: -1, -5, -113, and -565.
Prime factors of 565: 5 and 113.
Prime factorization of 565: 5 × 113.
The sum of factors of 565: 1 + 5 + 113 + 565 = 684
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 565. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 565 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 565 by 1, 565 × 1 = 565.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 565 after multiplying 5 × 113 = 565
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 565 are: (1, 565) and (5, 113). All these factor pairs result in 565. 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 as a whole number as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 565 by 1, 565 ÷ 1 = 565.
Step 2: Continue dividing 565 by numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
565 ÷ 1 = 565
565 ÷ 5 = 113
Therefore, the factors of 565 are: 1, 5, 113, 565.
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 565 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
565 ÷ 5 = 113
113 ÷ 113 = 1
The prime factors of 565 are 5 and 113.
The prime factorization of 565 is: 5 × 113.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 565 is divided by 5 to get 113.
Step 2: Now divide 113 by 113 to get 1. Here, 113 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 565 is: 5 × 113.
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 565: (1, 565) and (5, 113).
Negative factor pairs of 565: (-1, -565) and (-5, -113).
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 5 friends and 565 marbles. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 113 marbles each.
To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles with the number of friends.
565/5 = 113
A rectangular garden has a length of 113 meters and a total area of 565 square meters. What is the width?
5 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
565 = 113 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 113 to the left side.
565/113 = width
Width = 5.
There are 113 boxes and 565 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 5 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the number of boxes.
565/113 = 5
In a class, there are 565 students, and 5 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 113 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
565/5 = 113
565 books need to be arranged in 5 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves will have 113 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
565/5 = 113
