What are the Factors of 618?

The numbers that divide 618 evenly are known as factors of 618.

 

A factor of 618 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 618 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 103, 206, 309, and 618.

 

Negative factors of 618: -1, -2, -3, -6, -103, -206, -309, and -618.

 

Prime factors of 618: 2, 3, and 103.

 

Prime factorization of 618: 2 × 3 × 103.

 

The sum of factors of 618: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 103 + 206 + 309 + 618 = 1248

How to Find Factors of 618?

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 618. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 618 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 618 by 1, 618 × 1 = 618.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 618 after multiplying

 

2 × 309 = 618

3 × 206 = 618

6 × 103 = 618

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 618 are: (1, 618), (2, 309), (3, 206), (6, 103). All these factor pairs result in 618. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 618 by 1, 618 ÷ 1 = 618.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 618 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

618 ÷ 1 = 618

618 ÷ 2 = 309

618 ÷ 3 = 206

618 ÷ 6 = 103

 

Therefore, the factors of 618 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 103, 206, 309, 618.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. 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 618 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

618 ÷ 2 = 309

309 ÷ 3 = 103

103 ÷ 103 = 1

 

The prime factors of 618 are 2, 3, and 103.

 

The prime factorization of 618 is: 2 × 3 × 103.

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, 618 is divided by 2 to get 309.

 

Step 2: Now divide 309 by 3 to get 103.

 

Step 3: 103 is a prime number, so it cannot be divided further.

 

So, the prime factorization of 618 is: 2 × 3 × 103.

 

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 618: (1, 618), (2, 309), (3, 206), and (6, 103).

 

Negative factor pairs of 618: (-1, -618), (-2, -309), (-3, -206), and (-6, -103).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 618

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 618, 1 and 618 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 6 groups and 618 pieces of candy. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 103 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of groups.

 

618/6 = 103

Problem 2

A rectangular plot has a length of 103 meters and the total area is 618 square meters. Find the width?

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

6 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

618 = 103 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 103 to the left side.

 

618/103 = width

 

Width = 6.

Problem 3

There are 206 students and 618 pencils. How many pencils will each student get?

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

Each student will get 3 pencils.

Explanation

To find the pencils each student will get, divide the total pencils by the number of students.

 

618/206 = 3
