What are the Factors of 1362?

The numbers that divide 1362 evenly are known as factors of 1362.

 

A factor of 1362 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1362 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 227, 454, 681, and 1362.

 

Negative factors of 1362: -1, -2, -3, -6, -227, -454, -681, and -1362.

 

Prime factors of 1362: 2, 3, and 227.

 

Prime factorization of 1362: 2 × 3 × 227.

 

The sum of factors of 1362: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 227 + 454 + 681 + 1362 = 2736

How to Find Factors of 1362?

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 1362. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1362 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1362 by 1, 1362 × 1 = 1362.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1362 after multiplying

 

2 × 681 = 1362

3 × 454 = 1362

6 × 227 = 1362

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1362 are: (1, 1362), (2, 681), (3, 454), (6, 227).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1362.

 

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 1362 by 1, 1362 ÷ 1 = 1362.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1362 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1362 ÷ 1 = 1362

1362 ÷ 2 = 681

1362 ÷ 3 = 454

1362 ÷ 6 = 227

 

Therefore, the factors of 1362 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 227, 454, 681, and 1362.

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 1362 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1362 ÷ 2 = 681

681 ÷ 3 = 227

227 ÷ 227 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1362 are 2, 3, and 227.

 

The prime factorization of 1362 is: 2 × 3 × 227.

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, 1362 is divided by 2 to get 681.

 

Step 2: Now divide 681 by 3 to get 227.

 

Step 3: Here, 227 is a prime number that cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1362 is: 2 × 3 × 227.

 

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 1362: (1, 1362), (2, 681), (3, 454), (6, 227).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1362: (-1, -1362), (-2, -681), (-3, -454), (-6, -227).

Problem 1

There are 6 teams and 1362 points. How will they distribute the points equally?

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

Each team will get 227 points.

Explanation

To distribute the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.

 

1362/6 = 227

Problem 2

A conference room is rectangular, the width of the room is 3 meters and the total area is 1362 square meters. Find the length?

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

454 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

1362 = length × 3

 

To find the value of the length, we need to shift 3 to the left side.

 

1362/3 = length

 

Length = 454.
