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 606, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 606 evenly are known as factors of 606.
A factor of 606 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 606 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 101, 202, 303, and 606.
Negative factors of 606: -1, -2, -3, -6, -101, -202, -303, and -606.
Prime factors of 606: 2, 3, and 101.
Prime factorization of 606: 2 × 3 × 101.
The sum of factors of 606: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 101 + 202 + 303 + 606 = 1224
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 606. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 606 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 606 by 1, 606 × 1 = 606.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 606 after multiplying
2 × 303 = 606
3 × 202 = 606
6 × 101 = 606
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 606 are: (1, 606), (2, 303), (3, 202), (6, 101). All these factor pairs result in 606. 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 606 by 1, 606 ÷ 1 = 606.
Step 2: Continue dividing 606 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
606 ÷ 1 = 606
606 ÷ 2 = 303
606 ÷ 3 = 202
606 ÷ 6 = 101
Therefore, the factors of 606 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 101, 202, 303, 606.
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 606 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
606 ÷ 2 = 303
303 ÷ 3 = 101
101 ÷ 101 = 1
The prime factors of 606 are 2, 3, and 101.
The prime factorization of 606 is: 2 × 3 × 101.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 606 is divided by 2 to get 303.
Step 2: Now divide 303 by 3 to get 101.
Step 3: Here, 101 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 606 is: 2 × 3 × 101.
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 606: (1, 606), (2, 303), (3, 202), (6, 101).
Negative factor pairs of 606: (-1, -606), (-2, -303), (-3, -202), (-6, -101).
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 6 friends and 606 beads. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 101 beads each.
To divide the beads equally, we need to divide the total beads by the number of friends.
606/6 = 101
A rectangular field has a length of 3 meters and a total area of 606 square meters. Find the width.
202 meters.
To find the width of the field, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
606 = 3 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 3 to the left side.
606/3 = width
Width = 202.
There are 303 boxes and 606 apples. How many apples will be in each box?
Each box will have 2 apples.
To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the boxes.
606/303 = 2
In a class, there are 606 students, and 3 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 202 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups, we get the number of students in each group.
606/3 = 202
606 books need to be arranged in 6 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 101 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
606/6 = 101
