How to Find Factors of 1936?
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
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1936. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1936 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1936 by 1, 1936 × 1 = 1936.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1936 after multiplying
2 × 968 = 1936
4 × 484 = 1936
8 × 242 = 1936
11 × 176 = 1936
16 × 121 = 1936
22 × 88 = 1936
32 × 61 = 1936
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1936 are: (1, 1936), (2, 968), (4, 484), (8, 242), (11, 176), (16, 121), (22, 88), (32, 61).
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 a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 1936 by 1, 1936 ÷ 1 = 1936.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1936 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1936 ÷ 1 = 1936
1936 ÷ 2 = 968
1936 ÷ 4 = 484
1936 ÷ 8 = 242
1936 ÷ 11 = 176
1936 ÷ 16 = 121
1936 ÷ 22 = 88
1936 ÷ 32 = 61
Therefore, the factors of 1936 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 88, 121, 176, 242, 352, 484, 968, 1936.
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 1936 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1.
1936 ÷ 2 = 968
968 ÷ 2 = 484
484 ÷ 2 = 242
242 ÷ 2 = 121
121 ÷ 11 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
The prime factors of 1936 are 2 and 11.
The prime factorization of 1936 is: 24 × 112.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 1936 is divided by 2 to get 968.
Step 2: Now divide 968 by 2 to get 484.
Step 3: Then divide 484 by 2 to get 242.
Step 4: Divide 242 by 2 to get 121.
Step 5: Divide 121 by 11 to get 11. Here, 11 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1936 is: 24 × 112.
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 1936: (1, 1936), (2, 968), (4, 484), (8, 242), (11, 176), (16, 121), (22, 88), (32, 61).
Negative factor pairs of 1936: (-1, -1936), (-2, -968), (-4, -484), (-8, -242), (-11, -176), (-16, -121), (-22, -88), (-32, -61).
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1936
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
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
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 1936, 1 and 1936 are also factors.
Factors of 1936 Examples
Problem 1
There are 11 teams and 1936 players. How will they be divided equally among the teams?
They will get 176 players each.
Explanation
To divide the players equally, we need to divide the total number of players by the number of teams.
1936/11 = 176
Problem 2
A rectangular painting has a length of 44 inches and a total area of 1936 square inches. Find the width.
44 inches.
Explanation
To find the width of the painting, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1936 = 44 × width
To find the value of width, divide the area by the length.
1936/44 = width
Width = 44.
Problem 3
