Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1664, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1664 evenly are known as factors of 1664. A factor of 1664 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 1664 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416, 832, and 1664. Negative factors of 1664: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -32, -52, -104, -208, -416, -832, and -1664. Prime factors of 1664: 2 and 13. Prime factorization of 1664: 2^6 × 13. The sum of factors of 1664: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 52 + 104 + 208 + 416 + 832 + 1664 = 3343.
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
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1664. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1664 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 1664 by 1, 1664 × 1 = 1664. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1664 after multiplying 2 × 832 = 1664 4 × 416 = 1664 8 × 208 = 1664 16 × 104 = 1664 32 × 52 = 1664 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1664 are: (1, 1664), (2, 832), (4, 416), (8, 208), (16, 104), (32, 52). All these factor pairs result in 1664. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 1664 by 1, 1664 ÷ 1 = 1664. Step 2: Continue dividing 1664 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 1664 ÷ 1 = 1664 1664 ÷ 2 = 832 1664 ÷ 4 = 416 1664 ÷ 8 = 208 1664 ÷ 16 = 104 1664 ÷ 32 = 52 Therefore, the factors of 1664 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416, 832, and 1664.
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 1664 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 1664 ÷ 2 = 832 832 ÷ 2 = 416 416 ÷ 2 = 208 208 ÷ 2 = 104 104 ÷ 2 = 52 52 ÷ 2 = 26 26 ÷ 2 = 13 13 ÷ 13 = 1 The prime factors of 1664 are 2 and 13. The prime factorization of 1664 is: 2^6 × 13.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 1664 is divided by 2 to get 832. Step 2: Now divide 832 by 2 to get 416. Step 3: Then divide 416 by 2 to get 208. Step 4: Divide 208 by 2 to get 104. Step 5: Divide 104 by 2 to get 52. Step 6: Divide 52 by 2 to get 26. Step 7: Divide 26 by 2 to get 13. Here, 13 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1664 is: 2^6 × 13. 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 1664: (1, 1664), (2, 832), (4, 416), (8, 208), (16, 104), and (32, 52). Negative factor pairs of 1664: (-1, -1664), (-2, -832), (-4, -416), (-8, -208), (-16, -104), and (-32, -52).
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 13 teams and 1664 tickets. How will they distribute it equally?
They will get 128 tickets each.
To distribute the tickets equally, we need to divide the total tickets with the number of teams. 1664/13 = 128
A rectangular garden has a length of 52 meters and a total area of 1664 square meters. Find the width.
32 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 1664 = 52 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 52 to the left side. 1664/52 = width Width = 32.
There are 16 trucks and 1664 crates. How many crates will be in each truck?
Each truck will have 104 crates.
To find the crates in each truck, divide the total crates with the trucks. 1664/16 = 104
In a class, there are 208 students, and 8 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 26 students in each group.
Dividing the students with the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group. 208/8 = 26
1664 books need to be arranged in 52 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 32 books.
Divide total books with shelves. 1664/52 = 32
Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1664 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416, 832, and 1664. Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 13 are prime factors of 1664. Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pairs of 1664 are (1, 1664), (2, 832), etc. Prime factorization: The process of expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1664 is 2^6 × 13. Negative factors: Factors that are negative numbers, which still divide the original number without a remainder. For instance, -1, -2, -4, etc., are negative factors of 1664.
