With 32 kids in a French Club, the club sponsor, Mr. Henry, wants to plan a field trip to France. Wow! What a field trip! All 32 kids are going. Mr. Henry must follow the rules for overseas field trips. One of these rules is that there is a ratio of an adult teacher or chaperone to a certain number of students.
For this school system, each chaperone can’t have over 8 students in their group. So, there must be a ratio of 1:8 regarding the number of adult teachers or chaperones to students. This would include Mr. Henry because he would also have a group.
So, he needs to know how many other teachers or chaperones to ask to participate in his awesome field trip to France. How many adults will he need to ask?
One of the best ways to figure this out is to find the factors of 32. Let’s find out those factors.
Factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32
We can find the factors of 32 by reading each rule. Below is a set of steps showing how to find each and every factor of 32. Let’s look at the rules to find these factors. Then, we will be better able to resolve Mr. Henry’s problem of how many chaperones to get for his trip.
Therefore, 32 has factors of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. With Mr. Henry, he has 8 students in a group. Eight’s factor partner is 4, so that means he will need 4 adults. With Mr. Henry included, that means he will need 3 more chaperones for his trip.
There are 32 sides to this shape called a triacontakaidigon. It seems like the word has as many letters as it does sides on the shape. If you have to find the measurement of four sides at a time, how many times will you be measuring? Use the factoring of 32 to find your answer.
With this shape, there are 32 sides. We will use the factoring of 32 to find the answer. There are 6 factors for 32. They are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. With 4, we need to find its factor partner. Its factor partner is 8. So, you would be measuring 8 times.
A grocery list has 32 items on it. A mother goes to the grocery store, but she wants to find her items as fast as possible. So, she lists her items according to the aisles they would be on in the grocery store. There are 16 aisles in this grocery store. What is the most efficient way for this mother to get all of her items in the most timely manner? Consider the factors of 32 to find your answer.
The best way for this mother to gather her items in the grocery store would be for an equal number of grocery items for each aisle. If there are 16 aisles, then there would need to be the same number of items on each aisle if there was going to be at least one item on each aisle. So, 16’s factor partner is 2. That means there would need to be 2 items on the mother’s list in each aisle in order for her to get out of the grocery store the fastest.
After scrounging in the couch cushions, you find 32 coins of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. That is not a lot of money, but you want to put it into your piggy bank. How much money will you have? Use the factors to find the answer.
First, we need to find that there are four types of coins. Four’s factor partner when factoring 32 is 8. So, there will be 8 of each type of coins. There will be 8 pennies which is worth 8 cents. There will be 8 nickels which will be 40 cents. There will be 8 dimes which is worth 80 cents. Then, there are 8 quarters which is worth 2 dollars. This would be a grand total of $3.28. Don’t spend it all in one place!
You will need to divide each number from 1 to 32 into 32 to see if it divides equally and evenly without having remainders.
In science, there is a group 32, but that doesn’t mean that there are 32 elements in the group. Most of the things that come in groups of 32 would be those that come in groups of 16 and then there would be two of those groups. So, there are 16 candles on a birthday. If there are twins in the family, when they turn 16, that would be 32 candles.
To find the factors of 32, multiply each number between 1 and 32 to see if it divides evenly into 32. You can eliminate some numbers because the first lowest number that goes into 32 and its partner would provide a range. For example, 2 is the next factor and the lowest. Then, 16 is its factor partner. So, now you only have to look at the numbers from 2 and 16.
