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 2300, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 2300 evenly are known as factors of 2300.
A factor of 2300 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 2300 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 25, 46, 50, 92, 100, 115, 184, 230, 460, 575, 1150, and 2300.
Negative factors of 2300: -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -20, -23, -25, -46, -50, -92, -100, -115, -184, -230, -460, -575, -1150, and -2300.
Prime factors of 2300: 2, 5, and 23.
Prime factorization of 2300: 2² × 5² × 23.
The sum of factors of 2300: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 23 + 25 + 46 + 50 + 92 + 100 + 115 + 184 + 230 + 460 + 575 + 1150 + 2300 = 5402
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 2300. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 2300 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 2300 by 1, 2300 × 1 = 2300.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 2300 after multiplying
2 × 1150 = 2300
4 × 575 = 2300
5 × 460 = 2300
10 × 230 = 2300
20 × 115 = 2300
23 × 100 = 2300
25 × 92 = 2300
46 × 50 = 2300
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 2300 are: (1, 2300), (2, 1150), (4, 575), (5, 460), (10, 230), (20, 115), (23, 100), (25, 92), (46, 50).
All these factor pairs result in 2300.
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 2300 by 1, 2300 ÷ 1 = 2300.
Step 2: Continue dividing 2300 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
2300 ÷ 1 = 2300
2300 ÷ 2 = 1150
2300 ÷ 4 = 575
2300 ÷ 5 = 460
2300 ÷ 10 = 230
2300 ÷ 20 = 115
2300 ÷ 23 = 100
2300 ÷ 25 = 92
2300 ÷ 46 = 50
Therefore, the factors of 2300 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 25, 46, 50, 92, 100, 115, 184, 230, 460, 575, 1150, 2300.
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 2300 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
2300 ÷ 2 = 1150
1150 ÷ 2 = 575
575 ÷ 5 = 115
115 ÷ 5 = 23
23 ÷ 23 = 1
The prime factors of 2300 are 2, 5, and 23.
The prime factorization of 2300 is: 2² × 5² × 23.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 2300 is divided by 2 to get 1150.
Step 2: Now divide 1150 by 2 to get 575.
Step 3: Then divide 575 by 5 to get 115.
Step 4: Divide 115 by 5 to get 23.
Here, 23 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 2300 is: 2² × 5² × 23.
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 2300: (1, 2300), (2, 1150), (4, 575), (5, 460), (10, 230), (20, 115), (23, 100), (25, 92), (46, 50).
Negative factor pairs of 2300: (-1, -2300), (-2, -1150), (-4, -575), (-5, -460), (-10, -230), (-20, -115), (-23, -100), (-25, -92), (-46, -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 23 friends and 2300 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 100 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of friends.
2300/23 = 100
A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 46 meters and the total area is 2300 square meters. Find the width?
50 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
2300 = 46 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 46 to the left side.
2300/46 = width
Width = 50.
There are 100 gift bags and 2300 chocolates. How many chocolates will be in each bag?
Each bag will have 23 chocolates.
To find the chocolates in each bag, divide the total chocolates by the bags.
2300/100 = 23
In a class, there are 2300 students, and 10 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 230 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
2300/10 = 230
2300 books need to be arranged in 5 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 460 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
2300/5 = 460
