2. Steps to find factors of 1936 using Prime Factorization

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.

There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1936 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 1936 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
  • Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 1936, which is 2. Divide 1936 by 2 to obtain the quotient (968).
    1936 ÷ 2 = 968
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (968).
    968 ÷ 2 = 484
    484 ÷ 2 = 242
    242 ÷ 2 = 121
    121 ÷ 11 = 11
    11 ÷ 11 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1936 is, 1936 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 11.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1936 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1936 is, 1936 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 11.

3. Find factors of 1936 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 1936 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 1936 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 1936 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1936 1 x 1936 = 1936
2 and 968 2 x 968 = 1936
4 and 484 4 x 484 = 1936
8 and 242 8 x 242 = 1936
11 and 176 11 x 176 = 1936
16 and 121 16 x 121 = 1936
22 and 88 22 x 88 = 1936
44 and 44 44 x 44 = 1936

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 1936. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1936 would be ( -1 , -1936 ) , ( -2 , -968 ) , ( -4 , -484 ) , ( -8 , -242 ) , ( -11 , -176 ) , ( -16 , -121 ) , ( -22 , -88 ) and ( -44 , -44 ) .

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 1936 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1936.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 1936 x 0 = 0.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 121, 176, 242, 484, 968, 1936 are exact divisors of 1936.
  • Factors of 1936 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 121, 176, 242, 484, 968, 1936. Each factor divides 1936 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 121, 176, 242, 484, 968, 1936 are all less than or equal to 1936.
