What are the Factors of 602?

The numbers that divide 602 evenly are known as factors of 602.

 

A factor of 602 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 602 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 43, 86, 301, and 602.

 

Negative factors of 602: -1, -2, -7, -14, -43, -86, -301, and -602.

 

Prime factors of 602: 2, 7, and 43.

 

Prime factorization of 602: 2 × 7 × 43.

 

The sum of factors of 602: 1 + 2 + 7 + 14 + 43 + 86 + 301 + 602 = 1056

How to Find Factors of 602?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using the 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 602. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 602 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 602 by 1, 602 × 1 = 602.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 602 after multiplying

 

2 × 301 = 602

7 × 86 = 602

14 × 43 = 602

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 602 are: (1, 602), (2, 301), (7, 86), (14, 43). All these factor pairs result in 602. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers 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 a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 602 by 1, 602 ÷ 1 = 602.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 602 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

602 ÷ 1 = 602

602 ÷ 2 = 301

602 ÷ 7 = 86

602 ÷ 14 = 43

 

Therefore, the factors of 602 are: 1, 2, 7, 14, 43, 86, 301, 602.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 602 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

602 ÷ 2 = 301

301 ÷ 7 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

 

The prime factors of 602 are 2, 7, and 43. The prime factorization of 602 is: 2 × 7 × 43.

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, 602 is divided by 2 to get 301.

 

Step 2: Now divide 301 by 7 to get 43.

 

Step 3: 43 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

 

So, the prime factorization of 602 is: 2 × 7 × 43.

 

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 602: (1, 602), (2, 301), (7, 86), and (14, 43).

 

Negative factor pairs of 602: (-1, -602), (-2, -301), (-7, -86), and (-14, -43).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 602

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 number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 602, 1 and 602 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 602 apples and 2 baskets. How will they be divided equally?

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

Each basket will get 301 apples.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets.

 

602/2 = 301

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 43 meters and a total area of 602 square meters. Find the width.

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

14 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

602 = 43 × width

 

To find the value of the width, we need to shift 43 to the left side.

 

602/43 = width

 

Width = 14.

Problem 3

There are 86 books and 7 shelves. How many books will be on each shelf?

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

Each shelf will have 12 books.

Explanation

To find the books on each shelf, divide the total books by the number of shelves.

 

602/7 = 86
