17
-
<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 204. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 204 is the multiplication method.</p>
18
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Multiply 204 by 1, 204 × 1 = 204.</p>
19
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check for other numbers that give 204 after multiplying</p>
20
-
<p>2 × 102 = 204</p>
21
-
<p>3 × 68 = 204</p>
22
-
<p>4 × 51 = 204</p>
23
-
<p>6 × 34 = 204</p>
24
-
<p>12 × 17 = 204</p>
25
-
<p>Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 204 are: (1, 204), (2, 102), (3, 68), (4, 51), (6, 34), and (12, 17).</p>
26
-
<p>For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<h3>Finding Factors Using Division Method</h3>
30
-
<p>Dividing the given numbers with<a>whole numbers</a>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 -</p>
31
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Divide 204 by 1, 204 ÷ 1 = 204.</p>
32
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Continue dividing 204 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.</p>
33
-
<p>204 ÷ 1 = 204</p>
34
-
<p>204 ÷ 2 = 102</p>
35
-
<p>204 ÷ 3 = 68</p>
36
-
<p>204 ÷ 4 = 51</p>
37
-
<p>204 ÷ 6 = 34</p>
38
-
<p>204 ÷ 12 = 17</p>
39
-
<p>Therefore, the factors of 204 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204.</p>

<h3>Prime Factors and Prime Factorization</h3>
41
-
<p>The factors can be found by dividing it with<a>prime numbers</a>. We can find the<a>prime factors</a>using the following methods:</p>
42
-
<ul><li>Using prime factorization</li>
43
-
<li>Using<a>factor tree</a> </li>
44
-
</ul><p><strong>Using Prime Factorization:</strong>In this process, prime factors of 204 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.</p>
45
-
<p>204 ÷ 2 = 102</p>
46
-
<p>102 ÷ 2 = 51</p>
47
-
<p>51 ÷ 3 = 17</p>
48
-
<p>17 ÷ 17 = 1</p>
49
-
<p>The prime factors of 204 are 2, 3, and 17.</p>
50
-
<p>The prime factorization of 204 is: 2² × 3 × 17.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now divide 102 by 2 to get 51.</p>
55
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Then divide 51 by 3 to get 17.</p>
4
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Then divide 51 by 3 to get 17.</p>
56
<p>Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.</p>

<h3>Problem 1</h3>
64
-
<p>There are 6 students and 204 pages to read. How will they divide the pages equally?</p>
65
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
66
-
<p>They will read 34 pages each.</p>
67
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
68
-
<p>To divide the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages with the number of students.</p>
69
-
<p>204/6 = 34</p>

<h3>Problem 2</h3>
72
-
<p>A rectangular garden has a perimeter of 204 meters, with the length being 51 meters. Find the width.</p>
73
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
74
-
<p>The width is 51 meters.</p>
75
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
76
-
<p>To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,</p>
77
-
<p>Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)</p>
78
-
<p>204 = 2 × (51 + width)</p>
79
-
<p>Solving for width, we find: 51 + width = 102</p>
80
-
<p>width = 51</p>
