What are the Factors of 1055?

The numbers that divide 1055 evenly are known as factors of 1055

 

A factor of 1055 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1055 are 1, 5, 211, and 1055.

 

Negative factors of 1055: -1, -5, -211, and -1055.

 

Prime factors of 1055: 5 and 211.

 

Prime factorization of 1055: 5 × 211.

 

The sum of factors of 1055: 1 + 5 + 211 + 1055 = 1272

How to Find Factors of 1055?

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 1055. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1055 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1055 by 1, 1055 × 1 = 1055.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1055 after multiplying 5 × 211 = 1055

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1055 are: (1, 1055) and (5, 211). All these factor pair result in 1055. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which results as a whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1055 by 1, 1055 ÷ 1 = 1055.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1055 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1055 ÷ 1 = 1055

1055 ÷ 5 = 211

 

Therefore, the factors of 1055 are: 1, 5, 211, 1055.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a 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 1055 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1055 ÷ 5 = 211

211 ÷ 211 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1055 are 5 and 211.

 

The prime factorization of 1055 is: 5 × 211.

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, 1055 is divided by 5 to get 211.

 

Step 2: Now divide 211 by 211 to get 1. Here, 5 and 211 are the prime numbers, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1055 is: 5 × 211.

 

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called as factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

 

Positive factor pairs of 1055: (1, 1055) and (5, 211).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1055: (-1, -1055) and (-5, -211).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 as factors

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 1055, 1 and 1055 are also factors.

Problem 1

A group of 5 people wants to share 1055 apples equally. How many apples will each person get?

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

They will get 211 apples each.

Explanation

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

 

1055/5 = 211

Problem 2

A rectangular painting has a length of 211 cm and the total area is 1055 square cm. What is the width?

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

5 cm.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1055 = 211 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 211 to the left side.

 

1055/211 = width

 

Width = 5.
