What are the Factors of 1072?

The numbers that divide 1072 evenly are known as factors of 1072.

 

A factor of 1072 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1072 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 67, 134, 268, 536, and 1072.

 

Negative factors of 1072: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -67, -134, -268, -536, and -1072.

 

Prime factors of 1072: 2 and 67.

 

Prime factorization of 1072: 2^4 × 67.

 

The sum of factors of 1072: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 67 + 134 + 268 + 536 + 1072 = 2108

How to Find Factors of 1072?

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 1072. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1072 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1072 by 1, 1072 × 1 = 1072.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1072 after multiplying    

 2 × 536 = 1072     

4 × 268 = 1072     

8 × 134 = 1072     

16 × 67 = 1072

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1072 are: (1, 1072), (2, 536), (4, 268), (8, 134), (16, 67).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1072.

 

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 result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1072 by 1, 1072 ÷ 1 = 1072.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1072 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1072 ÷ 1 = 1072

1072 ÷ 2 = 536

1072 ÷ 4 = 268

1072 ÷ 8 = 134

1072 ÷ 16 = 67

 

Therefore, the factors of 1072 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 67, 134, 268, 536, 1072.

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 1072 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1072 ÷ 2 = 536

536 ÷ 2 = 268

268 ÷ 2 = 134

134 ÷ 2 = 67

67 ÷ 67 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1072 are 2 and 67.

 

The prime factorization of 1072 is: 2^4 × 67.

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, 1072 is divided by 2 to get 536.

 

Step 2: Now divide 536 by 2 to get 268

 

Step 3: Then divide 268 by 2 to get 134.

 

Step 4: Divide 134 by 2 to get 67.

 

Here, 67 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 1072 is: 2^4 × 67.

 

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 1072: (1, 1072), (2, 536), (4, 268), (8, 134), and (16, 67).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1072: (-1, -1072), (-2, -536), (-4, -268), (-8, -134), and (-16, -67).

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 1072, 1 and 1072 is also a factor.

Problem 1

There are 8 friends and 1072 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 134 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.

1072/8 = 134

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a width of 16 meters and a total area of 1072 square meters. Find the length.

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

67 meters.

Explanation

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

Area = length × width     

1072 = length × 16     

To find the value of the length, we need to shift 16 to the left side.     

1072/16 = length     

Length = 67.
