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 94, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 94 evenly are known as factors of 94. A factor of 94 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 94 are 1, 2, 47, and 94.
Negative factors of 94: -1, -2, -47, and -94.
Prime factors of 94: 2 and 47.
Prime factorization of 94: 2 × 47.
The sum of factors of 94: 1 + 2 + 47 + 94 = 144
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 94. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 94 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 94 by 1, 94 × 1 = 94.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 94 after multiplying 2 × 47 = 94
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 94 are: (1, 94), (2, 47).
All these factor pairs result in 94. 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 a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 94 by 1, 94 ÷ 1 = 94.
Step 2: Continue dividing 94 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
94 ÷ 1 = 94
94 ÷ 2 = 47
Therefore, the factors of 94 are: 1, 2, 47, 94.
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 94 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
94 ÷ 2 = 47
47 ÷ 47 = 1
The prime factors of 94 are 2 and 47. The prime factorization of 94 is: 2 × 47.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 94 is divided by 2 to get 47.
Step 2: Now, 47 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 94 is: 2 × 47.
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 94 apples and 2 baskets. How will they divide them equally?
They will get 47 apples each.
To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of baskets.
94/2 = 47
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 47 meters, and the total area is 94 square meters. Find the width.
2 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
94 = 47 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 47 to the left side.
94/47 = width
Width = 2.
There are 47 tables and 94 chairs. How many chairs will be at each table?
Each table will have 2 chairs.
To find the chairs at each table, divide the total chairs by the tables.
94/47 = 2
In a hall, there are 94 seats, and 47 rows. How many seats are there in each row?
There are 2 seats in each row.
Dividing the seats by the total rows, we will get the number of seats in each row.
94/47 = 2
94 books need to be placed in 2 stacks. How many books will go in each stack?
Each stack will have 47 books.
Divide total books by stacks.
94/2 = 47
