What are the Factors of 774?

The numbers that divide 774 evenly are known as factors of 774. A factor of 774 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 774 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 43, 86, 129, 258, 387, and 774.

 

Negative factors of 774: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -18, -43, -86, -129, -258, -387, and -774.

 

Prime factors of 774: 2, 3, and 43.

 

Prime factorization of 774: 2 × 3 × 3 × 43.

 

The sum of factors of 774: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 18 + 43 + 86 + 129 + 258 + 387 + 774 = 1716

How to Find Factors of 774?

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 774. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 774 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 774 by 1, 774 × 1 = 774.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 774 after multiplying

 

2 × 387 = 774

3 × 258 = 774

6 × 129 = 774

9 × 86 = 774

18 × 43 = 774

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 774 are: (1, 774), (2, 387), (3, 258), (6, 129), (9, 86), (18, 43).

 

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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 774 by 1, 774 ÷ 1 = 774.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 774 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

774 ÷ 1 = 774

774 ÷ 2 = 387

774 ÷ 3 = 258

774 ÷ 6 = 129

774 ÷ 9 = 86

774 ÷ 18 = 43

 

Therefore, the factors of 774 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 43, 86, 129, 258, 387, 774.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. 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 774 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

774 ÷ 2 = 387

387 ÷ 3 = 129

129 ÷ 3 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

 

The prime factors of 774 are 2, 3, and 43.

 

The prime factorization of 774 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 43.

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, 774 is divided by 2 to get 387.

 

Step 2: Now divide 387 by 3 to get 129.

 

Step 3: Then divide 129 by 3 to get 43. Here, 43 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 774 is: 2 × 3 × 3 × 43.

 

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 774: (1, 774), (2, 387), (3, 258), (6, 129), (9, 86), and (18, 43).

 

Negative factor pairs of 774: (-1, -774), (-2, -387), (-3, -258), (-6, -129), (-9, -86), and (-18, -43).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 774

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 774, 1 and 774 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 9 soccer teams and 774 fans. How will they distribute the fans equally among the teams?

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

Each team will have 86 fans.

Explanation

To divide the fans equally, we need to divide the total fans by the number of teams.

 

774/9 = 86

Problem 2

A rectangular park has a length of 18 meters and a total area of 774 square meters. Find the width.

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

43 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

774 = 18 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 18 to the left side.

 

774/18 = width

 

Width = 43.
