Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 833, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 833 evenly are known as factors of 833. A factor of 833 is a number that divides the number without a remainder. The factors of 833 are 1, 7, 119, and 833.
Negative factors of 833: -1, -7, -119, and -833.
Prime factors of 833: 7 and 119.
Prime factorization of 833: 7 × 119.
The sum of factors of 833: 1 + 7 + 119 + 833 = 960
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 833. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 833 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 833 by 1, 833 × 1 = 833.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 833 after multiplying 7 × 119 = 833
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 833 are: (1, 833) and (7, 119).
All these factor pairs result in 833.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
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 the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 833 by 1, 833 ÷ 1 = 833.
Step 2: Continue dividing 833 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
833 ÷ 1 = 833
833 ÷ 7 = 119
Therefore, the factors of 833 are: 1, 7, 119, 833.
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 833 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
833 ÷ 7 = 119
119 ÷ 119 = 1
The prime factors of 833 are 7 and 119.
The prime factorization of 833 is: 7 × 119.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 833 is divided by 7 to get 119.
Step 2: Now divide 119 by 119 to get 1. So, the prime factorization of 833 is: 7 × 119.
Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
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 7 teams and 833 players. How will they divide equally?
They will get 119 players each.
To divide the players equally, we need to divide the total players with the number of teams.
833/7 = 119
A poster wall is rectangular, the length of the wall is 7 meters, and the total area is 833 square meters. Find the width?
119 meters.
To find the width of the wall, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
833 = 7 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 7 to the left side.
833/7 = width
Width = 119.
There are 119 crates and 833 apples. How many apples will be in each crate?
Each crate will have 7 apples.
To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples with the crates.
833/119 = 7
In a class, there are 833 students, and 119 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 7 students in each group.
Dividing the students with the total groups, we will get the number of students in each group.
833/119 = 7
833 chairs need to be arranged in 7 rows. How many chairs will go in each row?
Each of the rows has 119 chairs.
Divide total chairs by rows.
833/7 = 119
