A common problem for many people is losing weight. However, the best way to lose weight is to have a plan. A woman weighs 62 pounds over her ideal weight and wants to lose weight each week for the next several weeks until it is summer. Then she will feel good about getting into her bathing suit. As this woman is preparing for her weight loss, she decides that she wants to lose an average of 2 pounds per week. How long will this take this woman to lose the weight. At what point would she need to start her weight loss journey if she wants to lose the weight by the beginning of June? To do this, you will need to find the factors of 62.
The factors of 62 needs to be considered carefully because it may seem that there are more factors for this number than there actually are. The factors of 62 are the numbers from 1 through 62 that can equally be divided into 62 without having a remainder.
To find the factors of 62, you need to write down the first two factors that apply to all factors. Those are 1 and itself, so it is one and 62. Then determine if 62 is an even number. It is an even number, so 2 is a factor as well as its factor partner. The factor partner is the number multiplied to 2 will equal 62. What number multiplied with 2 will equal 62? This number is 31. Then, see if any numbers between 3 and 30 are factors of 62. In this case, there are not. Thirty is the only number with 62 that you have to go up to. That is because there will not be another number higher than the middle number that can equally divide into a number like 62.
The factors of 62 are the following.
Let’s look back at the woman’s weight loss plan. She wanted to lose an average of 2 pounds per week so that she could lose a total of 62 pounds. We have learned that 2 is a factor of 62 because 62 is an even number. We need to find 62’s factor partner. So, what number times 2 equals 62? That number is 31. It will take this woman 31 weeks to lose an average of 2 pounds per week. If she wants to have those pounds off by the beginning of June, we will need to count back 31 weeks from June first. Let’s look at a calendar to find out.
Of course, different years will vary with the number of weeks. However, on average, thirty-one weeks before the first week of June would put it at early November. So, this woman would need to start her diet at the very latest would be early November in order to shed the pounds by the beginning of June.
Factors of 62 1, 2, 31, and 62.
On the final exam for chemistry, there are 62 questions on the test. The test was created carefully to make sure that questions came from every chapter. The test is needed to be valid, so the makers of the test made sure that there were equal amounts of questions from each chapter of the textbook. What is the most logical amount of chapters in the textbook based on the factors of 62?
This is a question in which you have to know the factors of 62 as well as using some logic. This means that think about the average number of textbook chapters there will be. We can rule out 1 and 62 because there is most likely not only one chapter in a textbook. That would not make any sense. Second, there are probably not 62 chapters because that seems a little much. So, there are probably 31 chapters because 2 chapters also seems too few.
There are 62 points scored in a youth basketball game. Even though different players scored a different amount of points, the team data keeper must determine the average number of points per player. What would be this average amount of points scored by the 5 players? Could you use factors to determine this answer?
No, you could not use factors of 62 to determine this answer because 5 is not a factor of 62. However, the answer would be a fraction because there would be a remainder. The average would be 12 and 2/5.
After buying a large supply of broken furniture, the retired man decided he would fill his time with repairing the furniture. He counts the number of broken legs on the broken chairs that he bought. There are 62 broken legs on the chairs. How is it possible that the man could have 62 broken legs on chairs if there are 4 legs to each chair? Use the factors of 62 to explain your answer.
Four would need to be a factor of 62 in this problem. However, 4 is not a factor of 62. So, in order for this to be correct, the man must have some chairs that do not have broken legs. Also, the man could have been mistaken when counting the number of broken legs.
The number 62 has only 4 factors, and they are 1, 2, 31, and 62.
There are not a lot of times that you will use factors of 62 in your daily life. That is because there are not many things that are grouped into groups of 62. It would only be a random occurrence if something was grouped by 62 objects.
The best way to find the factors of 62 is by dividing each number between 1 and 62 into 62. If there is a remainder, then it is not a factor of 62.
