How to Find Factors of 4116?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 4116. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 4116 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 4116 by 1, 4116 × 1 = 4116.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 4116 after multiplying
2 × 2058 = 4116
3 × 1372 = 4116
4 × 1029 = 4116
6 × 686 = 4116
9 × 457 = 4116
12 × 343 = 4116
18 × 228 = 4116
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 4116 are: (1, 4116), (2, 2058), (3, 1372), (4, 1029), (6, 686), (9, 457), (12, 343), (18, 228). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given number with 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 the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 4116 by 1, 4116 ÷ 1 = 4116.
Step 2: Continue dividing 4116 by numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
4116 ÷ 1 = 4116
4116 ÷ 2 = 2058
4116 ÷ 3 = 1372
4116 ÷ 4 = 1029
4116 ÷ 6 = 686
4116 ÷ 9 = 457
Therefore, the factors of 4116 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 37, 54, 74, 108, 111, 148, 222, 333, 444, 666, 999, 1111, 1332, 1998, 4116.
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 4116 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
4116 ÷ 2 = 2058
2058 ÷ 2 = 1029
1029 ÷ 3 = 343
343 ÷ 37 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1
The prime factors of 4116 are 2, 3, and 37.
The prime factorization of 4116 is: 2² × 3² × 37.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 4116 is divided by 2 to get 2058.
Step 2: Now divide 2058 by 2 to get 1029.
Step 3: Then divide 1029 by 3 to get 343.
Step 4: Divide 343 by 37 to get 9.
Step 5: Divide 9 by 3 to get 3. Here, 3 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 4116 is: 2² × 3² × 37.
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 4116: (1, 4116), (2, 2058), (3, 1372), (4, 1029), (6, 686), (9, 457), (12, 343), (18, 228).
Negative factor pairs of 4116: (-1, -4116), (-2, -2058), (-3, -1372), (-4, -1029), (-6, -686), (-9, -457), (-12, -343), (-18, -228).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 4116
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
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every word. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.
For example, in factors of 4116, 1 and 4116 are also factors.
Mistake 2
Missing Negative Factors
We have used only to mention positive factors every time. There are also negative factors; always check whether you have mentioned negative factors.
For example, the factors of 4116 consist of -1, -2, -3, etc.
Mistake 3
Including the Fraction
Children might sometimes add fractions also as a factor. Only whole numbers can be factors.
For example, thinking 1.5 as a factor, because 4116/1.5 is not a whole number.
Mistake 4
Confusing Factors With Prime Numbers
Remember that factors can be any whole numbers, not only just primes. For example, thinking all the factors of 4116 are prime numbers.
For example, 2, 3, and 37 are the prime factors of 4116, but it has other factors like 4, 6.
Mistake 5
Mistake in Factorization
Children might skip the steps in factorization and end up in writing wrong factors.
For example, not breaking 4116 as 2² × 3² × 37 and missing all the key factors.
