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 470, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 470?

The numbers that divide 470 evenly are known as factors of 470.

A factor of 470 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

The factors of 470 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, and 470.

Negative factors of 470: -1, -2, -5, -10, -47, -94, -235, and -470.

Prime factors of 470: 2, 5, and 47.

Prime factorization of 470: 2 × 5 × 47.

The sum of factors of 470: 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 47 + 94 + 235 + 470 = 864

How to Find Factors of 470?

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 470. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 470 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 470 by 1, 470 × 1 = 470.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 470 after multiplying     

2 × 235 = 470     

5 × 94 = 470     

10 × 47 = 470

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 470 are: (1, 470), (2, 235), (5, 94), (10, 47).

All these factor pairs result in 470.

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 the simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 470 by 1, 470 ÷ 1 = 470.

Step 2: Continue dividing 470 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

470 ÷ 1 = 470

470 ÷ 2 = 235

470 ÷ 5 = 94

470 ÷ 10 = 47

Therefore, the factors of 470 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470.

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: In this process, prime factors of 470 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

470 ÷ 2 = 235

235 ÷ 5 = 47

47 ÷ 47 = 1

The prime factors of 470 are 2, 5, and 47.

The prime factorization of 470 is: 2 × 5 × 47.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

Step 1: Firstly, 470 is divided by 2 to get 235.

Step 2: Now divide 235 by 5 to get 47.

Step 3: 47 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

So, the prime factorization of 470 is: 2 × 5 × 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.

Positive factor pairs of 470: (1, 470), (2, 235), (5, 94), and (10, 47).

Negative factor pairs of 470: (-1, -470), (-2, -235), (-5, -94), and (-10, -47).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 470

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Download Worksheets

Problem 1

There are 47 boxes and 470 marbles. How will they divide it equally?

Okay, lets begin

They will get 10 marbles each.

Explanation

To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles with the number of boxes.

470/47 = 10

Well explained 👍

Problem 2

A parking lot is rectangular, the length of the lot is 10 meters and the total area is 470 square meters. Find the width?

Okay, lets begin

47 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the lot, we use the formula,     

Area = length × width     

470 = 10 × width     

To find the value of width, we need to shift 10 to the left side.    

470/10 = width     

Width = 47.

Problem 3

There are 2 buses and 470 passengers. How many passengers will be in each bus?

Okay, lets begin

Each bus will have 235 passengers.

Explanation

To find the passengers in each bus, divide the total passengers by the number of buses.     

470/2 = 235
