What are the Factors of 1230?

The numbers that divide 1230 evenly are known as factors of 1230. A factor of 1230 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 1230 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 41, 82, 123, 205, 246, 410, 615, and 1230.

 

Negative factors of 1230: -1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -10, -15, -30, -41, -82, -123, -205, -246, -410, -615, and -1230.

 

Prime factors of 1230: 2, 3, 5, and 41.

 

Prime factorization of 1230: 2 × 3 × 5 × 41.

 

The sum of factors of 1230: 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 30 + 41 + 82 + 123 + 205 + 246 + 410 + 615 + 1230 = 3024

How to Find Factors of 1230?

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 1230. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1230 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1230 by 1, 1230 × 1 = 1230.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1230 after multiplying

 

2 × 615 = 1230

3 × 410 = 1230

5 × 246 = 1230

6 × 205 = 1230

10 × 123 = 1230

15 × 82 = 1230

30 × 41 = 1230

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1230 are: (1, 1230), (2, 615), (3, 410), (5, 246), (6, 205), (10, 123), (15, 82), (30, 41). 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 the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 1230 by 1, 1230 ÷ 1 = 1230.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1230 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1230 ÷ 1 = 1230

1230 ÷ 2 = 615

1230 ÷ 3 = 410

1230 ÷ 5 = 246

1230 ÷ 6 = 205

1230 ÷ 10 = 123

1230 ÷ 15 = 82

1230 ÷ 30 = 41

 

Therefore, the factors of 1230 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 41, 82, 123, 205, 246, 410, 615, 1230.

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 1230 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1230 ÷ 2 = 615

615 ÷ 3 = 205

205 ÷ 5 = 41

41 ÷ 41 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1230 are 2, 3, 5, and 41. The prime factorization of 1230 is: 2 × 3 × 5 × 41.

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, 1230 is divided by 2 to get 615.

 

Step 2: Now divide 615 by 3 to get 205.

 

Step 3: Then divide 205 by 5 to get 41. Here, 41 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1230 is: 2 × 3 × 5 × 41.

 

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 1230: (1, 1230), (2, 615), (3, 410), (5, 246), (6, 205), (10, 123), (15, 82), (30, 41).

 

  • Negative factor pairs of 1230: (-1, -1230), (-2, -615), (-3, -410), (-5, -246), (-6, -205), (-10, -123), (-15, -82), (-30, -41).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1230

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself. For example, in factors of 1230, 1 and 1230 are also factors.

Problem 1

A group of 1230 participants needs to be seated in a hall with 30 rows. How many participants will be seated in each row?

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

41 participants in each row.

Explanation

To find the number of participants in each row, divide the total participants by the number of rows.

 

1230/30 = 41

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 82 meters and a total area of 1230 square meters. What is the width of the plot?

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

15 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1230 = 82 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 82 to the left side.

 

1230/82 = width

 

Width = 15.

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

1230 widgets each day.

Explanation

To find the widgets produced each day, divide the total widgets by the number of days.

 

2460/2 = 1230
