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 1464, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1464 evenly are known as factors of 1464.
A factor of 1464 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
Negative factors of 1464: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, -24, -61, -122, -183, -244, -366, -488, -732, and -1464.
Prime factors of 1464: 2, 3, and 61.
Prime factorization of 1464: 2³ × 3 × 61.
The sum of factors of 1464: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 + 61 + 122 + 183 + 244 + 366 + 488 + 732 + 1464 = 3720
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 1464. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1464 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1464 by 1, 1464 × 1 = 1464.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1464 after multiplying
2 × 732 = 1464
3 × 488 = 1464
4 × 366 = 1464
6 × 244 = 1464
8 × 183 = 1464
12 × 122 = 1464
24 × 61 = 1464
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1464 are: (1, 1464), (2, 732), (3, 488), (4, 366), (6, 244), (8, 183), (12, 122), (24, 61).
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 1464 by 1, 1464 ÷ 1 = 1464.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1464 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1464 ÷ 1 = 1464
1464 ÷ 2 = 732
1464 ÷ 3 = 488
1464 ÷ 4 = 366
1464 ÷ 6 = 244
1464 ÷ 8 = 183
1464 ÷ 12 = 122
1464 ÷ 24 = 61
Therefore, the factors of 1464 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 61, 122, 183, 244, 366, 488, 732, 1464.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1464 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1464 ÷ 2 = 732
732 ÷ 2 = 366
366 ÷ 2 = 183
183 ÷ 3 = 61
61 ÷ 61 = 1
The prime factors of 1464 are 2, 3, and 61.
The prime factorization of 1464 is: 2³ × 3 × 61.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1464 is divided by 2 to get 732.
Step 2: Now divide 732 by 2 to get 366.
Step 3: Then divide 366 by 2 to get 183.
Step 4: Divide 183 by 3 to get 61.
Here, 61 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1464 is: 2³ × 3 × 61.
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 1464: (1, 1464), (2, 732), (3, 488), (4, 366), (6, 244), (8, 183), (12, 122), (24, 61).
Negative factor pairs of 1464: (-1, -1464), (-2, -732), (-3, -488), (-4, -366), (-6, -244), (-8, -183), (-12, -122), (-24, -61).
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 12 teams and 1464 players. How will they divide the players equally?
They will get 122 players each.
To divide the players equally, we need to divide the total players with the number of teams.
1464/12 = 122
A rectangular field has a length of 61 meters and a total area of 1464 square meters. Find the width.
24 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1464 = 61 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 61 to the left side.
1464/61 = width
Width = 24.
There are 6 boxes and 1464 candies. How many candies will be in each box?
Each box will have 244 candies.
To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies with the boxes.
1464/6 = 244
In a conference room, there are 1464 chairs, and 8 sections. How many chairs are there in each section?
There are 183 chairs in each section.
Dividing the chairs with the total sections, we will get the number of chairs in each section.
1464/8 = 183
1464 books need to be arranged in 24 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 61 books.
Divide total books with shelves.
1464/24 = 61
