16
-
<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1536. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1536 is the multiplication method.</p>
17
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Multiply 1536 by 1, (1536 x1 = 1536).</p>
18
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check for other numbers that give 1536 after multiplying: -</p>
19
-
<p>(2 x 768 = 1536)</p>
20
-
<p>(3 x 512 = 1536)</p>
21
-
<p>(4 x 384 = 1536)</p>
22
-
<p>(6 x 256 = 1536)</p>
23
-
<p>(8 x 192 = 1536)</p>
24
-
<p>(12 x 128 = 1536)</p>
25
-
<p>(16 x 96 = 1536)</p>
26
-
<p>(24 x 64 = 1536)</p>
27
-
<p>(32 x 48 = 1536)</p>
28
-
<p>Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1536 are: (1, 1536), (2, 768), (3, 512), (4, 384), (6, 256), (8, 192), (12, 128), (16, 96), (24, 64), and (32, 48). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<h2>Finding Factors Using Division Method</h2>
32
-
<p>Dividing the given numbers with the<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>
33
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Divide 1536 by 1, \(1536 \div 1 = 1536\).</p>
34
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Continue dividing 1536 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0: </p>
35
-
<p>(1536 / 1 = 1536) </p>
36
-
<p>(1536 / 2 = 768) </p>
37
-
<p>(1536 / = 512) </p>
38
-
<p>(1536 / 4 = 384) </p>
39
-
<p>(1536 / 6 = 256) </p>
40
-
<p>(1536 / 8 = 192) </p>
41
-
<p>(1536 \div 12 = 128) </p>
42
-
<p>(1536 /16 = 96) </p>
43
-
<p>(1536 / 24 = 64) </p>
44
-
<p>(1536 / 32 = 48)</p>
45
-
<p>Therefore, the factors of 1536 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768, 1536.</p>

<h2>Prime Factors and Prime Factorization</h2>
47
-
<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>
48
-
<ul><li>Using prime factorization</li>
49
-
<li>Using the<a>factor tree</a></li>
50
-
</ul><p><strong>Using Prime Factorization:</strong>In this process, prime factors of 1536 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.</p>
51
-
<p>(1536 / 2 = 768)</p>
52
-
<p>(768 / 2 = 384) </p>
53
-
<p>(384 / 2 = 192) </p>
54
-
<p>(192 / 2 = 96) </p>
55
-
<p>(96 / 2 = 48) </p>
56
-
<p>(48 / 2 = 24) </p>
57
-
<p>(24 / 2 = 12) </p>
58
-
<p>(12 / 2 = 6) </p>
59
-
<p>(6 / 2 = 3) </p>
60
-
<p>(3 / 3 = 1)</p>
61
-
<p>The prime factors of 1536 are 2 and 3. The prime factorization of 1536 is: \(2^9 \times 3\).</p>

<h2>Factor Tree</h2>
63
-
<p>The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show:</p>
64
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Firstly, 1536 is divided by 2 to get 768.</p>
65
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 768 by 2 to get 384.</p>
66
-
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 384 by 2 to get 192.</p>
67
-
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Divide 192 by 2 to get 96.</p>
68
-
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Divide 96 by 2 to get 48.</p>
69
-
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Divide 48 by 2 to get 24.</p>
70
-
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Divide 24 by 2 to get 12. Step 8: Divide 12 by 2 to get 6.</p>
71
-
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Divide 6 by 2 to get 3. Here, 3 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1536 is: (29 x 3).</p>
72
-
<p><strong>Factor Pairs:</strong>Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.</p>

-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
80
-
<p>They will get 128 footballs each.</p>
81
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
82
-
<p>To divide the footballs equally, we need to divide the total footballs by the number of teams.</p>
83

<h3>Problem 2</h3>
86
-
<p>A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 64 meters and the total area is 1536 square meters. Find the width?</p>
87
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
88
-
<p>24 meters.</p>
89
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
90
-
<p>To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,</p>
91
-
<p>Area = length × width</p>
92
-
<p>(1536 = 64 x width)</p>
93
-
<p>To find the value of width, we need to shift 64 to the left side.</p>
94
-
<p>(1536 / 64 = width)</p>
95
-
<p>Width = 24.</p>
