Prime factors of 1368: 2, 3, and 19.
Prime factorization of 1368: 23 × 32 × 19.
The sum of factors of 1368: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 19 + 24 + 27 + 36 + 38 + 57 + 76 + 114 + 152 + 171 + 228 + 342 + 456 + 684 + 1368 = 4056
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1368. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1368 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1368 by 1, 1368 × 1 = 1368.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1368 after multiplying
2 × 684 = 1368
3 × 456 = 1368
4 × 342 = 1368
6 × 228 = 1368
8 × 171 = 1368
9 × 152 = 1368
12 × 114 = 1368
19 × 72 = 1368
24 × 57 = 1368
27 × 76 = 1368
36 × 38 = 1368
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1368 are: (1, 1368), (2, 684), (3, 456), (4, 342), (6, 228), (8, 171), (9, 152), (12, 114), (19, 72), (24, 57), (27, 76), (36, 38).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 1368 by 1, 1368 ÷ 1 = 1368.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1368 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1368 ÷ 1 = 1368
1368 ÷ 2 = 684
1368 ÷ 3 = 456
1368 ÷ 4 = 342
1368 ÷ 6 = 228
1368 ÷ 8 = 171
1368 ÷ 9 = 152
1368 ÷ 12 = 114
1368 ÷ 19 = 72
1368 ÷ 24 = 57
1368 ÷ 27 = 76
1368 ÷ 36 = 38
Therefore, the factors of 1368 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 19, 24, 27, 36, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 171, 228, 342, 456, 684, 1368.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1368 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1368 ÷ 2 = 684
684 ÷ 2 = 342
342 ÷ 2 = 171
171 ÷ 3 = 57
57 ÷ 3 = 19 19 ÷ 19 = 1
The prime factors of 1368 are 2, 3, and 19.
The prime factorization of 1368 is: 2^3 × 3^2 × 19.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1368 is divided by 2 to get 684.
Step 2: Now divide 684 by 2 to get 342.
Step 3: Then divide 342 by 2 to get 171.
Step 4: Divide 171 by 3 to get 57. Step 5: Divide 57 by 3 to get 19. Here, 19 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1368 is: 23 × 32 × 19.
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 1368: (1, 1368), (2, 684), (3, 456), (4, 342), (6, 228), (8, 171), (9, 152), (12, 114), (19, 72), (24, 57), (27, 76), (36, 38).
Negative factor pairs of 1368: (-1, -1368), (-2, -684), (-3, -456), (-4, -342), (-6, -228), (-8, -171), (-9, -152), (-12, -114), (-19, -72), (-24, -57), (-27, -76), (-36, -38).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 12 teams and 1368 participants. How will they be divided equally among the teams?
Each team will have 114 participants.
To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants with the number of teams.
1368/12 = 114
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 38 meters and the total area is 1368 square meters. Find the width.
36 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1368 = 38 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 38 to the left side.
1368/38 = width
Width = 36.
There are 19 boxes and 1368 apples. How many apples will be in each box?
Each box will have 72 apples.
To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples with the boxes.
1368/19 = 72
In a class, there are 342 students, and 6 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 57 students in each group.
Dividing the students with the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
342/6 = 57
1368 books need to be arranged in 24 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 57 books.
Divide total books with shelves.
1368/24 = 57
