2 × 8316 = 16632
3 × 5544 = 16632
4 × 4158 = 16632
6 × 2772 = 16632
8 × 2079 = 16632
12 × 1386 = 16632
24 × 693 = 16632
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 16632 are: (1, 16632), (2, 8316), (3, 5544), (4, 4158), (6, 2772), (8, 2079), (12, 1386), (24, 693). All these factor pairs result in 16632. 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 16632 by 1, 16632 ÷ 1 = 16632.
Step 2: Continue dividing 16632 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
16632 ÷ 1 = 16632
16632 ÷ 2 = 8316
16632 ÷ 3 = 5544
16632 ÷ 4 = 4158
16632 ÷ 6 = 2772
16632 ÷ 8 = 2079
16632 ÷ 12 = 1386
16632 ÷ 24 = 693
Therefore, the factors of 16632 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 693, 1386, 2079, 2772, 4158, 5544, 8316, 16632.
The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 16632 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
16632 ÷ 2 = 8316
8316 ÷ 2 = 4158
4158 ÷ 2 = 2079
2079 ÷ 3 = 693
693 ÷ 3 = 231
231 ÷ 11 = 21
21 ÷ 3 = 7
The prime factors of 16632 are 2, 3, and 11.
The prime factorization of 16632 is: 2³ × 3 × 11 × 139.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -
Step 1: Firstly, 16632 is divided by 2 to get 8316.
Step 2: Now divide 8316 by 2 to get 4158.
Step 3: Then divide 4158 by 2 to get 2079.
Step 4: Divide 2079 by 3 to get 693. Step 5: Divide 693 by 3 to get 231.
Step 6: Divide 231 by 11 to get 21.
Step 7: Divide 21 by 3 to get 7. So, the prime factorization of 16632 is: 2³ × 3 × 11 × 139.
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 16632: (1, 16632), (2, 8316), (3, 5544), (4, 4158), (6, 2772), (8, 2079), (12, 1386), and (24, 693).
Negative factor pairs of 16632: (-1, -16632), (-2, -8316), (-3, -5544), (-4, -4158), (-6, -2772), (-8, -2079), (-12, -1386), and (-24, -693).
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 6 teams and 16632 players. How many players will each team have?
Each team will have 2772 players.
To divide the players equally, we need to divide the total players by the number of teams.
16632/6 = 2772
A rectangular garden has a length of 693 meters and a total area of 16632 square meters. Find the width.
24 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
16632 = 693 × width
To find the value of width, we need to divide 16632 by 693.
16632/693 = width
Width = 24.
There are 24 storage boxes and 16632 items. How many items will be in each box?
Each box will have 693 items.
To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the number of boxes.
16632/24 = 693
In a stadium, there are 12 sections, and 16632 seats. How many seats are there in each section?
There are 1386 seats in each section.
Dividing the seats with the total sections, we will get the number of seats in each section.
16632/12 = 1386
16632 books need to be arranged in 4 large bookshelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 4158 books.
Divide total books by the number of shelves.
16632/4 = 4158
