How to Find the Factors of 711?

There are different methods to find the factors of 711.


Methods to find the factors of 711:

  1. Multiplication Method
  2. Division Method
  3. Prime Factor and Prime Factorization
  4. Factor Tree
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication Method

The multiplication method finds the pair of factors that give 711 as their product.


Find the pair of numbers whose product is 711.


The factors are those numbers that, when multiplied, give 711.


Make a list of numbers whose product equals 711.


A list of numbers whose products are 711 is given below:

  • 1×711=711
  • 3×237=711
  • 9×79=711

 

Thus, the factors of 711 are 1, 3, 9, 79, 237, and 711.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are given below:

Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor.

Example: 711÷1=711.

Move to the next integer. The factors of the number include the number that is used to divide and the number of times the particular number is divided.


Thus, the factors of 711 are 1, 3, 9, 79, 237, and 711.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. A number, when it is simplified using the factors of that number and expressed in the form of prime factors, is the prime factorization of a number.


Prime Factors of 711: Number 711 has two prime factors.


Prime factors of 711: 3, 79


To find the prime factors of 711, we can divide 711 with prime numbers like 3 and 79 from the list of factors of 711.


Divide 711 with the prime number 3:

  • 711÷3=237

 

Divide 237 with the prime number 3:

  • 237÷3=79

79 is already a prime number.

Factors of 711 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Question: Can you check whether 711 and 37 are co-prime?

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

Yes, 711 and 37 are co-prime.

Explanation

To check whether two numbers are co-prime, list their factors first.


Once you have listed the factors, identify the common factors and determine the GCF.


If the GCF is 1, the numbers are co-prime.


Factors of 711: 1, 3, 9, 79, 237, 711
Factors of 37: 1, 37


Here, the GCF is 1. So 711 and 37 are co-prime.

Problem 2

Verify whether 711 is a multiple of 8.

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

No, 711 is not a multiple of 8.

Explanation

Multiples of 8 are numbers we get when 8 is multiplied by another number.
No whole number can be multiplied by 8 to get 711 as the product.

Problem 3

Identify the perfect square from the factors of 711.

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

The perfect square factor of 711 is 9, and the root is 3.

Explanation

A perfect square is a number we get when the same number is multiplied twice.
When 3 is multiplied twice (3×3), we get the perfect square 9.

Problem 4

Is 711 a composite number?

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

Yes, 711 is a composite number.

Explanation

A composite number has more than two factors.
Factors of 711 are 1, 3, 9, 79, 237, and 711.
Since it has more than two factors, 711 is a composite number.

Problem 5

Can you check if 79 is a factor of 711?

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

Yes, 79 is a factor of 711.

Explanation

To check, divide 711 by 79.


If the result is a whole number, then 79 is a factor.


711 ÷ 79 = 9 (a whole number), so 79 is indeed a factor of 711.
