How to Find Factors of 324?

 

1 and the number itself are the factors of every number. So, 1 and 324 are two factors of 324. To find the other factors of 324, we can start by dividing 324 by the numbers between 1 and 324. If we divide 324 by 2, we get a remainder of 0. Therefore, 2 is a factor of 324. If we divide 324 by 3, we get a remainder of 0. Therefore, 3 is also a factor of 324.

 

Next, we can check if 4 is a factor of 324. If we divide 324 by 4, we get a remainder of 0. Therefore, 4 is also a factor of 324. If we divide 324 by 5, we get a remainder of 4. Therefore, 4 is not a factor of 324. We can continue this process for all the possible factors of 324.

 

Through this process, we can find that the factors of 324 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, and 324. These are the only numbers that can divide 324 without leaving a remainder.

Properties of the Factors of 324

 

The factors of 324 have some interesting properties. One of the properties is that the sum of the factors of 324 is equal to 847. We can see this by adding all the factors of 324 together:

 

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 18 + 27 + 36 + 54 + 81 + 108 + 162 + 324 = 847

 

Another property of the factors of 324 is that the prime factors of 324 are 2, and 3 only.

 

 

Applications of the Factors of 324

 

The factors of 324 have several applications in mathematics. One of the applications is in finding the highest common factor (HCF) of two or more numbers. The HCF is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common. For example, to find the HCF of 324 and 84, we need to find the factors of both numbers and identify the largest factor they have in common. The factors of 324 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, and 324. The factors of 84 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 84. The largest factor that they have in common is 12. Therefore, the HCF of 324 and 84 is 12.

 

Another application of the factors of 324 is in prime factorization. Prime factorization is the process of expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. The prime factors of 324 are 2, and 3 since these are the only prime numbers that can divide 324 without leaving a remainder. Therefore, we can express 324 as:

 

324 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

 

We can do prime factorization by division and factor tree method also. Here is the prime factorization of 324 by division method,

 

∴ 324 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

 

Here is the prime factorization of 324 by the factor tree method,

 

∴ 324 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
