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 349, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 349 evenly are known as factors of 349.
A factor of 349 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 349 are 1 and 349.
Negative factors of 349: -1 and -349.
Prime factors of 349: 349 (since 349 is a prime number).
Prime factorization of 349: 3491.
The sum of factors of 349: 1 + 349 = 350
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 349.
Since 349 is a prime number, the only multiplication that works is:
Step 1: Multiply 349 by 1, 349 × 1 = 349.
Therefore, the positive factor pair of 349 is: (1, 349).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with 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 349 by 1, 349 ÷ 1 = 349.
Step 2: Continue attempting to divide 349 by numbers up to its square root (approx. 18.68).
Since no divisions result in a whole number other than dividing by 1 and 349 itself, we conclude:
The factors of 349 are: 1 and 349.
The factors can be found by dividing the number by prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, we attempt to divide 349 by prime numbers.
Since 349 itself is a prime number, it cannot be factored further.
The prime factors of 349 are 349. The prime factorization of 349 is: 3491.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. For 349, since it's a prime number, the factor tree is simple:
Step 1: Recognize that 349 is a prime number. So, the prime factorization of 349 is: 3491.
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 pair of 349: (1, 349).
Negative factor pair of 349: (-1, -349).
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 349 pages in a book. If each page weighs the same, how many pages would weigh the same as the entire book?
349 pages.
Each page is an equal unit of the book, so the entire book is made up of 349 pages, which means all pages together weigh the same as the book itself.
A ribbon is 349 cm long. If you cut it into pieces each 1 cm long, how many pieces will you have?
349 pieces.
To find the number of pieces, divide the total length by the length of each piece.
349/1 = 349
A flagpole is 349 cm tall. If each section is 349 cm, how many sections does it consist of?
1 section.
The entire flagpole is one section since its total height is 349 cm, which is the height of the section itself.
349/349 = 1
A library has 349 identical books. If you want to arrange them equally in 1 row, how many books will be in the row?
349 books.
To arrange the books equally in one row, you would simply have all 349 books in that single row.
349/1 = 349
A company has 349 employees and wants to give each employee a personalized item. How many items are needed?
349 items.
To give each employee one item, the company needs as many items as there are employees.
349/1 = 349
