What are the Factors of 814?

The numbers that divide 814 evenly are known as factors of 814.

 

A factor of 814 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 814 are 1, 2, 407, and 814.

 

Negative factors of 814: -1, -2, -407, and -814.

 

Prime factors of 814: 2 and 407.

 

Prime factorization of 814: 2 × 407.

 

The sum of factors of 814: 1 + 2 + 407 + 814 = 1224

How to Find Factors of 814?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 814. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 814 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 814 by 1, 814 × 1 = 814.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 814 after multiplying

2 × 407 = 814

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 814 are: (1, 814) and (2, 407).

 

All these factor pairs result in 814.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with 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 814 by 1, 814 ÷ 1 = 814.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 814 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

814 ÷ 1 = 814

814 ÷ 2 = 407

 

Therefore, the factors of 814 are: 1, 2, 407, 814.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it by 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 814 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

814 ÷ 2 = 407

407 ÷ 407 = 1

 

The prime factors of 814 are 2 and 407.

 

The prime factorization of 814 is: 2 × 407.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows

 

Step 1: Firstly, 814 is divided by 2 to get 407.

 

Step 2: 407 is a prime number, so it cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 814 is: 2 × 407.

 

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 814: (1, 814) and (2, 407).

 

Negative factor pairs of 814: (-1, -814) and (-2, -407).

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

 

For example, in factors of 814, 1 and 814 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 4 teams and 814 points. How will they distribute the points equally among the teams?

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

They cannot distribute the points equally as 814 is not divisible by 4.

Explanation

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

814/4 = 203.5, which is not a whole number.

Problem 2

A ribbon is 814 cm long. If it is cut into 2 equal parts, what will be the length of each part?

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

Each part will be 407 cm long.

Explanation

To find the length of each part, divide the total length by 2.

814/2 = 407

Problem 3

There are 407 apples and 2 boxes. How many apples will each box have if distributed equally?

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

Each box will have 203.5 apples, which means they cannot be divided equally into the boxes.

Explanation

To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the boxes.

407/2 = 203.5, which is not a whole number.
