What are the Factors of 604?

The numbers that divide 604 evenly are known as factors of 604.

 

A factor of 604 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 604 are 1, 2, 4, 151, 302, and 604.

 

Negative factors of 604: -1, -2, -4, -151, -302, and -604

 

 Prime factors of 604: 2 and 151.

 

Prime factorization of 604: 22 × 151.

 

The sum of factors of 604: 1 + 2 + 4 + 151 + 302 + 604 = 1064

How to Find Factors of 604?

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 604. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 604 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 604 by 1, 604 × 1 = 604.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 604 after multiplying

 

2 × 302 = 604

4 × 151 = 604

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 604 are: (1, 604), (2, 302), (4, 151). All these factor pairs result in 604. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 604 by 1, 604 ÷ 1 = 604.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 604 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

604 ÷ 1 = 604

604 ÷ 2 = 302

604 ÷ 4 = 151

 

Therefore, the factors of 604 are: 1, 2, 4, 151, 302, 604.

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

 

604 ÷ 2 = 302

302 ÷ 2 = 151

151 ÷ 151 = 1

 

The prime factors of 604 are 2 and 151.

 

The prime factorization of 604 is: 2^2 × 151.

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, 604 is divided by 2 to get 302.

 

Step 2: Now divide 302 by 2 to get 151.

 

Here, 151 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 604 is: 22 × 151.

 

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 604: (1, 604), (2, 302), and (4, 151).

 

Negative factor pairs of 604: (-1, -604), (-2, -302), and (-4, -151).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 604

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and 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 604, 1 and 604 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 4 teams and 604 participants. How will they divide the participants equally?

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

They will get 151 participants each.

Explanation

To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.

 

604/4 = 151

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 151 meters and the total area is 604 square meters. Find the width?

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

4 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

604 = 151 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 151 to the left side.

 

604/151 = width

 

Width = 4.

Problem 3

There are 2 trucks and 604 boxes. How many boxes will be in each truck?

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

Each truck will have 302 boxes.

Explanation

To find the boxes in each truck, divide the total boxes by the trucks.

 

604/2 = 302
