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 1455, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1455 evenly are known as factors of 1455.
A factor of 1455 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1455 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 27, 29, 45, 87, 135, 145, 261, 435, and 1455.
Negative factors of 1455: -1, -3, -5, -9, -15, -29, -45, -87, -135, -145, -261, -435, -1455.
Prime factors of 1455: 3, 5, and 29.
Prime factorization of 1455: 3 × 5 × 29.
The sum of factors of 1455: 1 + 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 29 + 45 + 87 + 135 + 145 + 261 + 435 + 1455 = 2625
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 1455. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1455 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1455 by 1, 1455 × 1 = 1455.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1455 after multiplying
3 × 485 = 1455
5 × 291 = 1455
9 × 161 = 1455
15 × 97 = 1455
29 × 50 = 1455
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1455 are: (1, 1455), (3, 485), (5, 291), (9, 161), (15, 97), (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 the simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1455 by 1, 1455 ÷ 1 = 1455.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1455 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1455 ÷ 1 = 1455
1455 ÷ 3 = 485
1455 ÷ 5 = 291
1455 ÷ 9 = 161
1455 ÷ 15 = 97
1455 ÷ 29 = 50
Therefore, the factors of 1455 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 29, 50, 97, 161, 291, 485, and 1455.
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 1455 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1455 ÷ 3 = 485
485 ÷ 5 = 97
97 ÷ 29 = 1
The prime factors of 1455 are 3, 5, and 29.
The prime factorization of 1455 is: 3 × 5 × 29.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1455 is divided by 3 to get 485.
Step 2: Now divide 485 by 5 to get 97.
Step 3: Then divide 97 by 29 to get 1.
Here, 1 is the smallest number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1455 is: 3 × 5 × 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 1455: (1, 1455), (3, 485), (5, 291), (9, 161), (15, 97), and (29, 50).
Negative factor pairs of 1455: (-1, -1455), (-3, -485), (-5, -291), (-9, -161), (-15, -97), 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.
A team of 29 people needs to share 1455 soda cans equally. How many cans will each person get?
Each person will get 50 cans.
To divide the cans equally, divide the total cans by the number of people.
1455/29 = 50
A rectangular garden has a width of 5 meters and a total area of 1455 square meters. Find the length.
291 meters.
To find the length of the garden, use the formula,
Area = length × width
1455 = 5 × length
To find the value of the length, divide 1455 by 5.
1455/5 = length
Length = 291.
A baker has 9 batches of cookies, with each batch having an equal number of cookies. If there are 1455 cookies in total, how many cookies are in each batch?
Each batch will have 161 cookies.
To find the number of cookies in each batch, divide the total cookies by the number of batches.
1455/9 = 161
In a school, there are 15 classes and 1455 students. How many students are there in each class?
There are 97 students in each class.
Dividing the students by the total classes will give the number of students in each class.
1455/15 = 97
1455 chairs need to be arranged in 3 rows. How many chairs will be in each row?
Each row will have 485 chairs.
Divide the total chairs by the number of rows.
1455/3 = 485
