What are the Factors of 1494?

The numbers that divide 1494 evenly are known as factors of 1494.

 

A factor of 1494 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1494 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 83, 166, 249, 498, 747, and 1494.

 

Negative factors of 1494: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -83, -166, -249, -498, -747, and -1494.

 

Prime factors of 1494: 2, 3, and 83.

 

Prime factorization of 1494: 2 × 3 × 3 × 83.

 

The sum of factors of 1494: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 83 + 166 + 249 + 498 + 747 + 1494 = 3258

How to Find Factors of 1494?

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 1494. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1494 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1494 by 1, 1494 × 1 = 1494.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1494 after multiplying

2 × 747 = 1494

3 × 498 = 1494

6 × 249 = 1494

9 × 166 = 1494

83 × 18 = 1494

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1494 are: (1, 1494), (2, 747), (3, 498), (6, 249), (9, 166), (18, 83).

 

All these factor pairs result in 1494.

 

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 1494 by 1, 1494 ÷ 1 = 1494.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1494 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1494 ÷ 1 = 1494

1494 ÷ 2 = 747

1494 ÷ 3 = 498

1494 ÷ 6 = 249

1494 ÷ 9 = 166

1494 ÷ 83 = 18

 

Therefore, the factors of 1494 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 83, 166, 249, 498, 747, 1494.

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 1494 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1494 ÷ 2 = 747

747 ÷ 3 = 249

249 ÷ 3 = 83

83 ÷ 83 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1494 are 2, 3, and 83.

 

prime factorization of 1494 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 83.

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, 1494 is divided by 2 to get 747.

 

Step 2: Now divide 747 by 3 to get 249.

 

Step 3: Then divide 249 by 3 to get 83. Here, 83 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1494 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 83.

 

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 1494: (1, 1494), (2, 747), (3, 498), (6, 249), (9, 166), (18, 83).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1494: (-1, -1494), (-2, -747), (-3, -498), (-6, -249), (-9, -166), (-18, -83).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1494

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 the factors for every whole number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1494, 1 and 1494 are also factors.

Problem 1

A school has 18 classrooms and 1494 desks. How many desks will be in each classroom?

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

Each classroom will have 83 desks.

Explanation

To distribute the desks equally, we need to divide the total desks by the number of classrooms.

1494/18 = 83

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 83 meters and a total area of 1494 square meters. Find the width.

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

18 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width

1494 = 83 × width

To find the width, divide the area by the length.

1494/83 = width

Width = 18.
