What are the Factors of 962?

The numbers that divide 962 evenly are known as factors of 962.

 

A factor of 962 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 962 are 1, 2, 481, and 962.

 

Negative factors of 962: -1, -2, -481, and -962.

 

Prime factors of 962: 2 and 481.

 

Prime factorization of 962: 2 × 481.

 

The sum of factors of 962: 1 + 2 + 481 + 962 = 1446

How to Find Factors of 962?

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
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 962. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 962 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 962 by 1, 962 × 1 = 962.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 962 after multiplying 2 × 481 = 962

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 962 are: (1, 962) and (2, 481).

 

All these factor pairs result in 962.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 962 by 1,

962 ÷ 1 = 962.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 962 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

962 ÷ 1 = 962

962 ÷ 2 = 481

 

Therefore, the factors of 962 are: 1, 2, 481, and 962.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 962 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

962 ÷ 2 = 481 481 is a prime number, so it remains as it is.

 

The prime factors of 962 are 2 and 481.

 

The prime factorization of 962 is: 2 × 481.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows 

 

Step 1: Firstly, 962 is divided by 2 to get 481.

 

Step 2: 481 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

 

So, the prime factorization of 962 is: 2 × 481.

 

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 962: (1, 962) and (2, 481).

 

Negative factor pairs of 962: (-1, -962) and (-2, -481).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

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 962, 1 and 962 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 2 teams and 962 points. How will they divide it equally?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each team will get 481 points.

Explanation

To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.

962/2 = 481

Problem 2

A rectangular banner has a length of 2 meters and a total area of 962 square meters. Find the width.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The width is 481 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the banner, we use the formula, Area = length × width 962 = 2 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 2 to the left side.

962/2 = width

Width = 481.

Problem 3

There are 481 books and 962 shelves. How many shelves will each book cover?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each book will cover approximately 2 shelves.

Explanation

To find the number of shelves each book will cover, divide the total shelves by the number of books.

962/481 ≈ 2
