What are the Factors of 1338?

The numbers that divide 1338 evenly are known as factors of 1338.

 

A factor of 1338 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1338 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 223, 446, 669, and 1338.

 

Negative factors of 1338: -1, -2, -3, -6, -223, -446, -669, and -1338.

 

Prime factors of 1338: 2, 3, and 223.

 

Prime factorization of 1338: 2 × 3 × 223.

 

The sum of factors of 1338: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 223 + 446 + 669 + 1338 = 2688

How to Find Factors of 1338?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 1338. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1338 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1338 by 1, 1338 × 1 = 1338.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1338 after multiplying

 

2 × 669 = 1338

3 × 446 = 1338

6 × 223 = 1338

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1338 are: (1, 1338), (2, 669), (3, 446), (6, 223).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1338.

 

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 1338 by 1, 1338 ÷ 1 = 1338.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1338 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1338 ÷ 1 = 1338

1338 ÷ 2 = 669

1338 ÷ 3 = 446

1338 ÷ 6 = 223

 

Therefore, the factors of 1338 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 223, 446, 669, 1338.

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 1338 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1338 ÷ 2 = 669

669 ÷ 3 = 223

223 ÷ 223 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1338 are 2, 3, and 223.

 

The prime factorization of 1338 is: 2 × 3 × 223.

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, 1338 is divided by 2 to get 669.

 

Step 2: Now divide 669 by 3 to get 223.

 

Step 3: Here, 223 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1338 is: 2 × 3 × 223.

 

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 1338: (1, 1338), (2, 669), (3, 446), and (6, 223).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1338: (-1, -1338), (-2, -669), (-3, -446), and (-6, -223).

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 1338, 1 and 1338 are also factors.

Problem 1

A group of 6 people has 1338 candies. How many candies will each person get if they divide them equally?

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

They will get 223 candies each.

Explanation

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

 

1338/6 = 223

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 446 meters and a total area of 1338 square meters. Find the width.

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

3 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1338 = 446 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 446 to the left side.

 

1338/446 = width

 

Width = 3.
