Factors of 823

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 823, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 823?

The numbers that divide 823 evenly are known as factors of 823.

 

A factor of 823 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 823 are 1 and 823.

 

Negative factors of 823: -1 and -823.

 

Prime factors of 823: 823 (since 823 is a prime number).

 

The sum of factors of 823: 1 + 823 = 824

How to Find Factors of 823?

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 823. Since 823 is a prime number, it only has one multiplication pair:

 

Step 1: Multiply 823 by 1, 823 × 1 = 823.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 823 are: (1, 823).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number by whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero helps list the numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 823 by 1, 823 ÷ 1 = 823.

 

Step 2: Since 823 is a prime number, no other numbers will divide it evenly.

 

Therefore, the factors of 823 are: 1 and 823.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
     
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: Since 823 is a prime number, the prime factorization of 823 is 823 itself.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 823 is a prime number, the factor tree is quite simple:

 

Step 1: 823 is already prime and cannot be broken down further. So, the prime factorization of 823 is: 823.

 

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 823: (1, 823).

 

Negative factor pairs of 823: (-1, -823).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 823

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct these 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 the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 823, 1 and 823 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 823 marbles and 1 box. How many marbles will fit in each box?

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

All 823 marbles will fit in the box.

Explanation

To find out, divide the total number of marbles by the number of boxes.

823/1 = 823

Problem 2

A plot of land is square-shaped with an area of 823 square meters. What is the side length of the plot?

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

Since 823 is not a perfect square, the side length is not a whole number.

Explanation

For a square plot, side = √area.

√823 does not yield a whole number, so the side length is not a perfect integer.

Problem 3

You have 1 long ribbon of 823 meters. If you cut it into equal pieces, how many pieces will you get if each piece is 1 meter?

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

You will have 823 pieces.

Explanation

To find the number of pieces, divide the ribbon length by the piece length.

823/1 = 823

Problem 4

There are 823 participants in a marathon and each participant gets 1 bib number. How many bib numbers do you need?

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

You need 823 bib numbers.

Explanation

Each participant receives one bib number, so you need as many bib numbers as there are participants.

823 x 1 = 823

Problem 5

You have 823 stickers and want to distribute them equally among 823 friends. How many stickers will each friend get?

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

Each friend will get 1 sticker.

Explanation

To divide the stickers equally, divide the total number of stickers by the number of friends.

823/823 = 1
