What are the Factors of 1047?

The numbers that divide 1047 evenly are known as factors of 1047.

 

A factor of 1047 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1047 are 1, 3, 349, and 1047.

 

Negative factors of 1047: -1, -3, -349, and -1047.

 

Prime factors of 1047: 3 and 349.

 

Prime factorization of 1047: 3 × 349.

 

The sum of factors of 1047: 1 + 3 + 349 + 1047 = 1400

How to Find Factors of 1047?

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 1047. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1047 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1047 by 1, 1047 × 1 = 1047

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1047 after multiplying

3 × 349 = 1047

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1047 are: (1, 1047) and (3, 349).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1047. 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 1047 by 1, 1047 ÷ 1 = 1047.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1047 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1047 ÷ 1 = 1047

1047 ÷ 3 = 349

 

Therefore, the factors of 1047 are: 1, 3, 349, and 1047.

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 1047 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1047 ÷ 3 = 349

349 ÷ 349 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1047 are 3 and 349.

 

The prime factorization of 1047 is: 3 × 349.

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, 1047 is divided by 3 to get 349.

 

Step 2: Now divide 349 by 349 to get 1. Here, 349 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

 

So, the prime factorization of 1047 is: 3 × 349.

 

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 1047: (1, 1047) and (3, 349).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1047: (-1, -1047) and (-3, -349).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1047

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

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 1047, 1 and 1047 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 3 groups and 1047 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 349 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of groups.

1047/3 = 349

Problem 2

A painting is rectangular, with a length of 349 cm, and the total area is 1047 square cm. Find the width?

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

3 cm.

Explanation

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

Area = length × width

1047 = 349 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 349 to the left side.

1047/349 = width

Width = 3.

Problem 3

There are 1047 pages in a book and 349 chapters. How many pages will be in each chapter?

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

Each chapter will have 3 pages.

Explanation

To find the pages in each chapter, divide the total pages with the chapters.

1047/349 = 3
