Factors of 512 that add upto 48

Steps to find factors of 512 that add upto 48

• Find all factors.
• Then we find the sum of combinations of factors.
• Note down the combination of factors with sum as 48, and read off the answer!

Steps to find Factors of 512

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 512 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 256 (half of 512). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  512 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 32 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 64 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 128 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 256 : Remainder = 0

  512 ÷ 512 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 512 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512

What are factors?

In mathematics, the term factor is used for that number which divides the other number to leave 0 as a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Factors and multiples are two different terms. Factors are those number which when multiplied together give the number itself, on the other hand multiples are what we get after multiplying the same number with and other number.
• Prime factors are those factors which are further divisible by only two numbers i.e. 1 ans the factor itself.
• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 512 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, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 are exact divisors of 512.
