What are the Factors of 1041?

The numbers that divide 1041 evenly are known as factors of 1041.

 

A factor of 1041 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 1041 are 1, 3, 347, and 1041.

 

Negative factors of 1041: -1, -3, -347, and -1041.

 

Prime factors of 1041: 3 and 347.

 

Prime factorization of 1041: 3 × 347.

 

The sum of factors of 1041: 1 + 3 + 347 + 1041 = 1392

How to Find Factors of 1041?

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 1041. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1041 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1041 by 1, 1041 × 1 = 1041.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1041 after multiplying:   

3 × 347 = 1041

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1041 are: (1, 1041) and (3, 347). All these factor pairs result in 1041. 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 that result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1041 by 1, 1041 ÷ 1 = 1041.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1041 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1041 ÷ 1 = 1041

1041 ÷ 3 = 347

 

Therefore, the factors of 1041 are: 1, 3, 347, 1041.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it 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 1041 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1041 ÷ 3 = 347

347 ÷ 347 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1041 are 3 and 347.

 

The prime factorization of 1041 is: 3 × 347.

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, 1041 is divided by 3 to get 347.

 

Step 2: Now divide 347 by 347 to get 1. Here, 347 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1041 is: 3 × 347.

 

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 1041: (1, 1041) and (3, 347).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1041: (-1, -1041) and (-3, -347).

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1041, 1 and 1041 are also factors.

Problem 1

A farmer has 1041 apples and wants to distribute them equally among 3 baskets. How many apples will each basket contain?

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

Each basket will contain 347 apples.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets.

 

1041/3 = 347

Problem 2

A painting is rectangular, the width of the painting is 3 meters and the total area is 1041 square meters. Find the length.

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

347 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the painting, we use the formula,  

Area = length × width  

1041 = length × 3

To find the value of length, we need to divide 1041 by 3.

1041/3 = length

Length = 347.

Problem 3

There are 1041 students and 347 teams. How many students will be in each team?

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

Each team will have 3 students.

Explanation

To find the number of students in each team, divide the total number of students by the number of teams.

1041/347 = 3
