What are the Factors of 826?

The numbers that divide 826 evenly are known as factors of 826.

 

A factor of 826 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 826 are 1, 2, 413, and 826.

 

Negative factors of 826: -1, -2, -413, and -826.

 

Prime factors of 826: 2 and 413.

 

Prime factorization of 826: 2 × 413.

 

The sum of factors of 826: 1 + 2 + 413 + 826 = 1242.

How to Find Factors of 826?

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 826. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 826 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 826 by 1, 826 × 1 = 826.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 826 after multiplying

2 × 413 = 826

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 826 are: (1, 826) and (2, 413).

 

All these factor pairs result in 826.

 

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

 

Step 1: Divide 826 by 1, 826 ÷ 1 = 826.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 826 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

826 ÷ 1 = 826

826 ÷ 2 = 413

 

Therefore, the factors of 826 are: 1, 2, 413, 826.

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 826 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

826 ÷ 2 = 413

 

413 is a prime number and cannot be divided further except by itself.

 

The prime factors of 826 are 2 and 413.

 

prime factorization of 826 is: 2 × 413.

Factor Tree

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, 826 is divided by 2 to get 413.

 

Step 2: 413 is a prime number, so the factorization stops here. The prime factorization of 826 is: 2 × 413.

 

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 826: (1, 826) and (2, 413).

 

Negative factor pairs of 826: (-1, -826) and (-2, -413).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 826

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

People 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 826, 1 and 826 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 826 apples that need to be packed into boxes, with each box holding 2 apples. How many boxes are needed?

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

413 boxes are needed.

Explanation

To find the number of boxes, divide the total apples by the number of apples per box.

826/2 = 413

Problem 2

A swimming pool is rectangular, the length of the pool is 2 meters, and the total area is 826 square meters. Find the width.

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

413 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the pool, we use the formula, Area = length × width

826 = 2 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 2 to the left side.

826/2 = width

Width = 413.
