3 <p>Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 62, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.</p>

4 <h2>What are the Factors of 62?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>numbers</a>that divide 62 evenly are known as<a>factors</a><a>of</a>62. A factor of 62 is a number that divides the number without a<a>remainder</a>. The factors of 62 are 1, 2, 31, and 62.</p>

6 <p><strong>Negative factors of 62:</strong>-1, -2, -31, and -62.</p>

7 <p><strong>Prime factors of 62:</strong>2 and 31.</p>

8 <p><strong>Prime factorization of 62:</strong>2 × 31.</p>

9 <p>The<a>sum</a>of factors of 62:</p>

10 <p>1 + 2 + 31 + 62 = 96</p>

11 <h2>How to Find Factors of 62?</h2>

12 <p>Factors can be found using different methods.</p>

13 <p>Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:</p>

14 <ul><li>Finding factors using<a>multiplication</a> </li>

15 <li>Finding factors using the<a>division</a>method </li>

16 <li>Prime factors and Prime factorization </li>

17 </ul><h3>Finding Factors Using Multiplication</h3>

18 <p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 62. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 62 is the multiplication method.</p>

19 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Multiply 62 by 1, 62 × 1 = 62.</p>

20 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check for other numbers that give 62 after multiplying 2 × 31 = 62</p>

21 <p>Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 62 are: (1, 62), (2, 31).</p>

22 <p>All these factor pairs result in 62. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

54 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

55 <p>There are 31 students and 62 apples. How will they distribute them equally?</p>

56 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

57 <p>They will get 2 apples each.</p>

58 <h3>Explanation</h3>

59 <p>To distribute the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of students.</p>

60 <p>62/31 = 2</p>

61 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

62 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

63 <p>A rectangle's area is 62 square meters, and its length is 31 meters. What is the width?</p>

64 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

65 <p>2 meters.</p>

66 <h3>Explanation</h3>

67 <p>To find the width of the rectangle, we use the formula, Area = length × width</p>

68 <p>62 = 31 × width</p>

69 <p>To find the value of width, we need to shift 31 to the left side.</p>

70 <p>62/31 = width</p>

71 <p>Width = 2.</p>

72 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

73 <h3>Problem 3</h3>

74 <p>There are 62 candies and 2 boxes. How many candies will be in each box?</p>

75 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

76 <p>Each box will have 31 candies.</p>

77 <h3>Explanation</h3>

78 <p>To find the candies in each box, divide the total candies by the boxes.</p>

79 <p>62/2 = 31</p>

80 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

81 <h3>Problem 4</h3>

82 <p>In a company, there are 62 employees, and they are divided into 2 teams. How many employees are there in each team?</p>

83 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

84 <p>There are 31 employees in each team.</p>

85 <h3>Explanation</h3>

86 <p>Dividing the employees with the total teams, we will get the number of employees in each team.</p>

87 <p>62/2 = 31</p>

88 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

89 <h3>Problem 5</h3>

90 <p>A farmer has 62 meters of fence to enclose a rectangular garden with one side measuring 31 meters. What is the length of the other side?</p>

91 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

92 <p>2 meters.</p>

93 <h3>Explanation</h3>

94 <p>The other side of the rectangle can be found using the perimeter formula for a rectangle, but since it's a garden with only two sides fenced, we'll consider only those two sides to find the length of one of them.</p>

95 <p>62 = 31 + length of the other side.</p>

96 <p>Length of the other side = 62 - 31 = 31.</p>

97 <p>But since this seems like an error in context, we'll consider the area approach where it's clear.</p>

98 <p>If 62 meters of fencing includes both, then each side would be 2 + 31.</p>

99 <p>Well explained 👍</p>
