Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 819, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 819 evenly are known as factors of 819.
A factor of 819 is a number that divides the number without leaving a remainder.
The factors of 819 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 91, 273, and 819.
Negative factors of 819: -1, -3, -9, -27, -91, -273, and -819.
Prime factors of 819: 3 and 91.
Prime factorization of 819: 3 × 3 × 91.
The sum of factors of 819: 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 91 + 273 + 819 = 1223
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 819. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 819 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 819 by 1, 819 × 1 = 819.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 819 after multiplying
3 × 273 = 819
9 × 91 = 819
27 × 31 = 819
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 819 are: (1, 819), (3, 273), (9, 91), and (27, 31).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 819 by 1, 819 ÷ 1 = 819.
Step 2: Continue dividing 819 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
819 ÷ 1 = 819
819 ÷ 3 = 273
819 ÷ 9 = 91
819 ÷ 27 = 31
Therefore, the factors of 819 are: 1, 3, 9, 27, 91, 273, 819.
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 819 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
819 ÷ 3 = 273
273 ÷ 3 = 91
91 ÷ 7 = 13
The prime factors of 819 are 3, 7, and 13.
The prime factorization of 819 is: 3 × 3 × 7 × 13.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 819 is divided by 3 to get 273.
Step 2: Now divide 273 by 3 to get 91.
Step 3: Then divide 91 by 7 to get 13. Here, 13 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 819 is: 3 × 3 × 7 × 13.
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 819: (1, 819), (3, 273), (9, 91), and (27, 31).
Negative factor pairs of 819: (-1, -819), (-3, -273), (-9, -91), and (-27, -31).
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 3 boxes of chocolates and 819 chocolates in total. How will they divide it equally?
Each box will get 273 chocolates.
To divide the chocolates equally, we need to divide the total chocolates with the number of boxes.
819/3 = 273
A swimming pool is rectangular, the length of the pool is 27 meters and the total area is 819 square meters. Find the width?
31 meters.
To find the width of the pool, we use the formula, Area = length × width
819 = 27 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 27 to the left side.
819/27 = width
Width = 31.
There are 9 classrooms and 819 students. How many students will be in each classroom?
Each classroom will have 91 students.
To find the students in each classroom, divide the total students with the classrooms.
819/9 = 91
In a tournament, there are 27 teams and 819 players. How many players are there in each team?
There are 31 players in each team.
Dividing the players with the total teams, we will get the number of players in each team.
819/27 = 31
819 pages need to be bound into 3 volumes. How many pages will go in each volume?
Each of the volumes has 273 pages.
Divide total pages with volumes.
819/3 = 273
