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 604, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
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
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
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.
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.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
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.
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).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and ways to avoid them.
There are 4 teams and 604 participants. How will they divide the participants equally?
They will get 151 participants each.
To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.
604/4 = 151
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 151 meters and the total area is 604 square meters. Find the width?
4 meters.
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.
There are 2 trucks and 604 boxes. How many boxes will be in each truck?
Each truck will have 302 boxes.
To find the boxes in each truck, divide the total boxes by the trucks.
604/2 = 302
At a conference, there are 302 attendees and 2 sessions. How many attendees are there in each session?
There are 151 attendees in each session.
Dividing the attendees by the total sessions, we will get the number of attendees in each session.
302/2 = 151
604 books need to be arranged in 4 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 151 books.
Divide the total books by shelves.
604/4 = 151
