Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 723. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 723 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 723 by 1, 723 × 1 = 723. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 723 after multiplying 3 × 241 = 723 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 723 are: (1, 723) and (3, 241). All these factor pairs result in 723. 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 result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method - Step 1: Divide 723 by 1, 723 ÷ 1 = 723. Step 2: Continue dividing 723 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 723 ÷ 1 = 723 723 ÷ 3 = 241 723 ÷ 241 = 3 Therefore, the factors of 723 are: 1, 3, 241, 723.

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 723 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 723 ÷ 3 = 241 241 ÷ 241 = 1 The prime factors of 723 are 3 and 241. The prime factorization of 723 is: 3 × 241.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 723 is divided by 3 to get 241. Step 2: Here, 241 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 723 is: 3 × 241. 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 723: (1, 723) and (3, 241). Negative factor pairs of 723: (-1, -723) and (-3, -241).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

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 723, 1 and 723 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 9 teams in a tournament and 723 players. How will they distribute the players equally?

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

Each team will get 80 players with some players left out.

Explanation

To distribute the players equally, divide the total players by the number of teams. 723 ÷ 9 = 80 with a remainder of 3.

Problem 2

A gym has 3 sections, and the total area covered by the gym is 723 square meters. What is the area of each section?

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

241 square meters.

Explanation

To find the area of each section, we use the formula, Total area = area per section × number of sections 723 = 3 × area per section To find the value of area per section, we need to divide 723 by 3. 723 ÷ 3 = 241.
