18
-
<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 948. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 948 is the multiplication method.</p>
19
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Multiply 948 by 1, 948 × 1 = 948.</p>
20
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check for other numbers that give 948 after multiplying</p>
21
-
<p>2 × 474 = 948</p>
22
-
<p>3 × 316 = 948</p>
23
-
<p>4 × 237 = 948</p>
24
-
<p>6 × 158 = 948</p>
25
-
<p>12 × 79 = 948</p>
26
-
<p><strong>Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 948 are:</strong>(1, 948), (2, 474), (3, 316), (4, 237), (6, 158), (12, 79).</p>
27
-
<p>For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<h3>Finding Factors Using Division Method</h3>
31
-
<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 the simple division method -</p>
32
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Divide 948 by 1, 948 ÷ 1 = 948.</p>
33
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Continue dividing 948 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.</p>
34
-
<p>948 ÷ 1 = 948</p>
35
-
<p>948 ÷ 2 = 474</p>
36
-
<p>948 ÷ 3 = 316</p>
37
-
<p>948 ÷ 4 = 237</p>
38
-
<p>948 ÷ 6 = 158</p>
39
-
<p>948 ÷ 12 = 79</p>
40
-
<p><strong>Therefore, the factors of 948 are:</strong>1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948.</p>

<h3>Prime Factors and Prime Factorization</h3>
42
-
<p>The factors can be found by dividing it with<a>prime numbers</a>. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:</p>
43
-
<ul><li>Using prime factorization </li>
44
-
<li>Using<a>factor tree</a> </li>
45
-
</ul><p>Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 948 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.</p>
46
-
<p>948 ÷ 2 = 474</p>
47
-
<p>474 ÷ 2 = 237</p>
48
-
<p>237 ÷ 3 = 79</p>
49
-
<p>79 ÷ 79 = 1</p>
50
-
<p>The prime factors of 948 are 2, 3, and 79.</p>
51
-
<p>The prime factorization of 948 is: 2 × 2 × 3 × 79.</p>

<h3>Problem 1</h3>
66
-
<p>There are 12 workers and 948 bricks. How will they divide them equally?</p>
67
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
68
-
<p>They will get 79 bricks each.</p>
69
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
70
-
<p>To divide the bricks equally, we need to divide the total bricks by the number of workers.</p>
71
-
<p>948/12 = 79</p>

<h3>Problem 2</h3>
74
-
<p>A rectangular garden has a length of 6 meters and a total area of 948 square meters. Find the width?</p>
75
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
76
-
<p>158 meters.</p>
77
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
78
-
<p>To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,</p>
79
-
<p>Area = length × width</p>
80
-
<p>948 = 6 × width</p>
81
-
<p>To find the value of the width, we need to shift 6 to the left side.</p>
82
-
<p>948/6 = width</p>
83
-
<p>Width = 158.</p>
