Factors of 29 Solved Examples
-
Example 1: There are 29 flashcards in one pack.
The teacher wants to give one card to each of the 29 students in her class.
How many packs will she have to buy?
Solution:
The teacher has to divide 29 cards amongst 29 students.
29 × ____ = 29. The missing factor is 1.
Therefore, she will have to buy 1 pack.
-
Example 2: Alex forms rectangular patches in his garden to grow some plants. He decides to use 29 square yards of area for each patch. What could be the possible length and width of the grass patches?
Solution:
We know that the area of the rectangle = length × width sq. units
We know that ____ × ____ = 29. The missing factors could be 29 and 1 only.
Therefore, the length can only be 29 yards and the width can only be 1 yard.
-
Example 3: Find the product of all the prime factors of 29.
Solution:
Since the prime factors of 29 are 29. Therefore, the product of prime factors = 29 = 29.
FAQs on Factors of 29
What are the Factors of 29?
The factors of 29 are 1, 29 and its negative factors are -1, -29.
