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 1000000000, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1000000000 evenly are known as factors of 1000000000. A factor of 1000000000 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1000000000 include numbers like 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 64, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 400, 500, 625, 800, 1000, 1250, 2000, 2500, 3125, 4000, 5000, 6250, 10000, 12500, 15625, 20000, 25000, 31250, 50000, 62500, 100000, 125000, 200000, 250000, 500000, 1000000, 2000000, 2500000, 5000000, 10000000, 20000000, 25000000, 50000000, 100000000, 200000000, 250000000, 500000000, and 1000000000.
Negative factors of 1000000000 are the corresponding negative numbers.
Prime factors of 1000000000: 2 and 5.
Prime factorization of 1000000000: (29 x 59).
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 1000000000. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1000000000 is the multiplication method.
Example factor pairs:
(1 x 1000000000 = 1000000000)
(2 x 500000000 = 1000000000)
(4 x 250000000 = 1000000000)
(5 x 200000000 = 1000000000)
(10 x 100000000 = 1000000000)
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1000000000 include: (1, 1000000000), (2, 500000000), (4, 250000000), (5, 200000000), (10, 100000000). For every positive factor, there is a corresponding negative factor.
Dividing the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers resulting in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division methods.
Example steps:
(1000000000 /1 = 1000000000)
(1000000000 / 2 = 500000000)
(1000000000 / 4 = 250000000)
(1000000000 / 5 = 200000000)
Therefore, the factors of 1000000000 include numbers like 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, etc.
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 1000000000 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1.
Example steps:
(1000000000 / 2 = 500000000)
(500000000 / 2 = 250000000)
Continues until the number is broken down into prime factors of 2 and 5. The prime factorization of 1000000000 is: (29 x 59).
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, divide 1000000000 by 2.
Step 2: Continue dividing the result by 2 until you reach a prime number.
Step 3: Use the same method to break down the remaining number with 5. The prime factorization of 1000000000 is: (29 x 59).
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 10 friends, and 1000000000 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 100000000 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends. (1000000000 /10 = 100000000)
A large rectangular plot has a length of 250 meters, and the total area is 1000000000 square meters. Find the width.
4000000 meters.
To find the width of the plot, use the formula
Area = length × width
1000000000 = 250 × width
To find the value of width, divide the area by length.
(1000000000 / 250 = 4000000)
There are 50 warehouses storing 1000000000 products. How many products are stored in each warehouse?
Each warehouse will store 20000000 products.
To find the number of products in each warehouse, divide the total products by the number of warehouses.
(1000000000 / 50 = 20000000)
In a class, there are 1000000000 students, and 100000 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 10000 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups will give the number of students in each group.
(1000000000 / 100000 = 10000)
A library has 500000000 books that need to be arranged on 1000 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 500000 books.
Divide the total books by the number of shelves.
(500000000 / 1000 = 500000)
