Factors of 1897
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 1897, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
What are the Factors of 1897?
The numbers that divide 1897 evenly are known as factors of 1897.
A factor of 1897 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1897 are 1 and 1897.
Negative factors of 1897: -1 and -1897.
Prime factors of 1897: 1897 itself (since it is a prime number).
Prime factorization of 1897: 1897.
The sum of factors of 1897: 1 + 1897 = 1898.
How to Find Factors of 1897?
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
- Finding factors using multiplication
- Finding factors using division method
- Prime factors and Prime factorization
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1897. Since 1897 is a prime number, the only multiplication method is:
Step 1: Multiply 1897 by 1, 1897 × 1 = 1897.
Therefore, the only positive factor pair of 1897 is: (1, 1897). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:
Step 1: Divide 1897 by 1, 1897 ÷ 1 = 1897.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1897 by numbers until the remainder becomes 0. Since 1897 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 1 and itself.
Therefore, the factors of 1897 are: 1 and 1897.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
Factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
- Using prime factorization
- Using factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1897 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. Since 1897 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further.
The prime factorization of 1897 is: 1897.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 1897 is a prime number, it does not break down further in a factor tree. It only has itself as a factor.
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 1897: (1, 1897).
Negative factor pairs of 1897: (-1, -1897).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1897
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 1897, 1 and 1897 is also a factor.
Mistake 2
Missing Negative Factors
We have used only to mention positive factors every time. There are also negative factors, always check whether you have mentioned negative factors.
For example, the factors of 1897 consist of -1 and -1897.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add a fraction also as a factor. Only whole numbers can be a factor.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor is incorrect because 1897/1.5 is not a whole number.
Mistake 4
Confusing Factors With Prime Numbers
Remember that factors can be any whole numbers, not only just primes.
For example, thinking all the factors of 1897 are prime numbers. For 1897, it is a prime number itself, so it only has 1 and itself as factors.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up writing wrong factors.
For example, not recognizing that 1897 is a prime number and incorrectly attempting to factor it further.
Factors of 1897 Examples
Problem 1
There are 1897 apples and 1 basket. How will you divide them equally?
All 1897 apples will go into the basket.
Explanation
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples with the number of baskets.
1897/1 = 1897
Problem 2
A line of 1897 meters is to be divided into 1 equal segment. How long is each segment?
1897 meters.
Explanation
To find the length of each segment, we use the formula, Total length = number of segments × length of each segment
1897 = 1 × length of each segment
Length of each segment = 1897/1 = 1897
Problem 3
There is 1 crate and 1897 oranges. How many oranges will be in the crate?
The crate will have 1897 oranges.
Explanation
To find the oranges in each crate, divide the total oranges by the number of crates.
1897/1 = 1897
Problem 4
In a stadium, there are 1 section and 1897 seats. How many seats are there in each section?
There are 1897 seats in each section.
Explanation
Dividing the seats by the total sections, we will get the number of seats in each section.
1897/1 = 1897
Problem 5
1897 pages need to be divided into 1 book. How many pages will go in the book?
The book will have 1897 pages.
Explanation
Divide total pages by the number of books.
1897/1 = 1897
