Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 772, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 772 evenly are known as factors of 772.
A factor of 772 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 772 are 1, 2, 4, 193, 386, and 772.
Negative factors of 772: -1, -2, -4, -193, -386, and -772.
Prime factors of 772: 2 and 193.
Prime factorization of 772: 2² × 193.
The sum of factors of 772: 1 + 2 + 4 + 193 + 386 + 772 = 1358
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 772. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 772 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 772 by 1, 772 × 1 = 772.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 772 after multiplying
2 × 386 = 772
4 × 193 = 772
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 772 are: (1, 772), (2, 386), and (4, 193). All these factor pairs result in 772.
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 a whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 772 by 1, 772 ÷ 1 = 772.
Step 2: Continue dividing 772 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
772 ÷ 1 = 772
772 ÷ 2 = 386
772 ÷ 4 = 193
Therefore, the factors of 772 are: 1, 2, 4, 193, 386, 772.
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 772 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
772 ÷ 2 = 386
386 ÷ 2 = 193
193 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.
The prime factors of 772 are 2 and 193.
The prime factorization of 772 is: 2² × 193.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 772 is divided by 2 to get 386.
Step 2: Now divide 386 by 2 to get 193. Here, 193 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.
So, the prime factorization of 772 is: 2² × 193.
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 772: (1, 772), (2, 386), and (4, 193).
Negative factor pairs of 772: (-1, -772), (-2, -386), and (-4, -193).
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 2 teams and 772 tickets. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 386 tickets each.
To divide the tickets equally, we need to divide the total tickets by the number of teams.
772/2 = 386
A rectangular garden has a length of 4 meters and a total area of 772 square meters. Find the width.
193 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
772 = 4 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 4 to the left side.
772/4 = width
Width = 193.
There are 4 containers and 772 liters of oil. How many liters of oil will be in each container?
Each container will have 193 liters of oil.
To find the oil in each container, divide the total oil by the containers.
772/4 = 193
In a school, there are 772 students and 193 classes. How many students are there in each class?
There are 4 students in each class.
Dividing the students by the total classes, we will get the number of students in each class.
772/193 = 4
772 plants need to be arranged in 2 rows. How many plants will go in each row?
Each of the rows has 386 plants.
Divide total plants by rows.
772/2 = 386
