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 696, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 696 evenly are known as factors of 696.
A factor of 696 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 696 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, and 696.
Negative factors of 696: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, -24, -29, -58, -87, -116, -174, -232, -348, and -696.
Prime factors of 696: 2, 3, and 29.
Prime factorization of 696: 2³ × 3 × 29.
The sum of factors of 696: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 + 29 + 58 + 87 + 116 + 174 + 232 + 348 + 696 = 1800.
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 696. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 696 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 696 by 1, 696 × 1 = 696.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 696 after multiplying
2 × 348 = 696
3 × 232 = 696
4 × 174 = 696
6 × 116 = 696
8 × 87 = 696
12 × 58 = 696
24 × 29 = 696
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 696 are: (1, 696), (2, 348), (3, 232), (4, 174), (6, 116), (8, 87), (12, 58), and (24, 29).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with 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 696 by 1, 696 ÷ 1 = 696.
Step 2: Continue dividing 696 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
696 ÷ 1 = 696
696 ÷ 2 = 348
696 ÷ 3 = 232
696 ÷ 4 = 174
696 ÷ 6 = 116
696 ÷ 8 = 87
696 ÷ 12 = 58
696 ÷ 24 = 29
Therefore, the factors of 696 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 696 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
696 ÷ 2 = 348
348 ÷ 2 = 174
174 ÷ 2 = 87
87 ÷ 3 = 29
29 ÷ 29 = 1
The prime factors of 696 are 2, 3, and 29.
The prime factorization of 696 is: 2³ × 3 × 29.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 696 is divided by 2 to get 348.
Step 2: Now divide 348 by 2 to get 174.
Step 3: Then divide 174 by 2 to get 87.
Step 4: Divide 87 by 3 to get 29. Here, 29 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 696 is: 2³ × 3 × 29.
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 696: (1, 696), (2, 348), (3, 232), (4, 174), (6, 116), (8, 87), (12, 58), and (24, 29).
Negative factor pairs of 696: (-1, -696), (-2, -348), (-3, -232), (-4, -174), (-6, -116), (-8, -87), (-12, -58), and (-24, -29).
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 teams and 696 points in a game. How will they divide it equally?
Each team will get 116 points.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points with the number of teams.
696/6 = 116
A rectangular garden has a length of 24 meters and a total area of 696 square meters. Find the width.
29 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
696 = 24 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 24 to the left side.
696/24 = width
Width = 29.
There are 12 boxes and 696 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?
Each box will have 58 marbles.
To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles with the boxes.
696/12 = 58
In a theater, there are 696 seats divided into 29 rows. How many seats are there in each row?
There are 24 seats in each row.
Dividing the seats with the total rows, we will get the number of seats in each row.
696/29 = 24
696 apples need to be distributed across 87 baskets. How many apples will go in each basket?
Each of the baskets will have 8 apples.
Divide total apples with baskets.
696/87 = 8
