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 1450, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1450 evenly are known as factors of 1450.
A factor of 1450 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1450 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 29, 50, 58, 145, 290, 725, and 1450.
Negative factors of 1450: -1, -2, -5, -10, -25, -29, -50, -58, -145, -290, -725, and -1450.
Prime factors of 1450: 2, 5, and 29.
Prime factorization of 1450: 2 × 5^2 × 29.
The sum of factors of 1450: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 25 + 29 + 50 + 58 + 145 + 290 + 725 + 1450 = 2790
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 1450. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1450 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1450 by 1, 1450 × 1 = 1450.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1450 after multiplying:
2 × 725 = 1450
5 × 290 = 1450
10 × 145 = 1450
25 × 58 = 1450
29 × 50 = 1450
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1450 are: (1, 1450), (2, 725), (5, 290), (10, 145), (25, 58), (29, 50).
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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:
Step 1: Divide 1450 by 1, 1450 ÷ 1 = 1450.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1450 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1450 ÷ 1 = 1450
1450 ÷ 2 = 725
1450 ÷ 5 = 290
1450 ÷ 10 = 145
1450 ÷ 25 = 58
1450 ÷ 29 = 50
Therefore, the factors of 1450 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 29, 50, 58, 145, 290, 725, 1450.
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 1450 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1450 ÷ 2 = 725
725 ÷ 5 = 145
145 ÷ 5 = 29
29 ÷ 29 = 1
The prime factors of 1450 are 2, 5, and 29. The prime factorization of 1450 is: 2 × 5^2 × 29.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:
Step 1: Firstly, 1450 is divided by 2 to get 725.
Step 2: Now divide 725 by 5 to get 145.
Step 3: Then divide 145 by 5 to get 29.
Here, 29 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1450 is: 2 × 5^2 × 29.
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 1450: (1, 1450), (2, 725), (5, 290), (10, 145), (25, 58), and (29, 50).
Negative factor pairs of 1450: (-1, -1450), (-2, -725), (-5, -290), (-10, -145), (-25, -58), and (-29, -50).
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 teams and 1450 marbles. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 290 marbles each.
To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles by the number of teams.
1450/5 = 290
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 50 meters and the total area is 1450 square meters. Find the width?
29 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula:
Area = length × width
1450 = 50 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 50 to the left side.
1450/50 = width
Width = 29.
There are 725 pieces of fruit and 145 baskets. How many pieces of fruit will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 5 pieces of fruit.
To find the pieces of fruit in each basket, divide the total pieces of fruit by the baskets.
725/145 = 5
In a school, there are 1450 students and 29 classes. How many students are there in each class?
There are 50 students in each class.
Dividing the students by the total classes, we will get the number of students in each class.
1450/29 = 50
1450 pages need to be distributed in 10 folders. How many pages will go in each folder?
Each of the folders has 145 pages.
Divide total pages by folders.
1450/10 = 145
