Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 1299, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1299 evenly are known as factors of 1299.
A factor of 1299 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1299 are 1, 3, 11, 33, 39, 117, 433, and 1299.
Negative factors of 1299: -1, -3, -11, -33, -39, -117, -433, and -1299.
Prime factors of 1299: 3 and 433.
Prime factorization of 1299: 3 × 433.
The sum of factors of 1299: 1 + 3 + 11 + 33 + 39 + 117 + 433 + 1299 = 1936
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1299. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1299 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1299 by 1, 1299 × 1 = 1299.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1299 after multiplying:
3 × 433 = 1299
11 × 117 = 1299
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1299 are: (1, 1299), (3, 433), and (11, 117).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1299 by 1, 1299 ÷ 1 = 1299.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1299 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1299 ÷ 1 = 1299
1299 ÷ 3 = 433
1299 ÷ 11 = 117
Therefore, the factors of 1299 are: 1, 3, 11, 33, 39, 117, 433, and 1299.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1299 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1299 ÷ 3 = 433
433 ÷ 433 = 1
The prime factors of 1299 are 3 and 433.
The prime factorization of 1299 is: 3 × 433.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1299 is divided by 3 to get 433.
Step 2: Now divide 433 by 433 to get 1.
Here, 433 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1299 is: 3 × 433.
Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs.
Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
Positive factor pairs of 1299: (1, 1299), (3, 433), and (11, 117).
Negative factor pairs of 1299: (-1, -1299), (-3, -433), and (-11, -117).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 3 teams and 1299 points. How will they distribute the points equally among the teams?
They will get 433 points each.
To divide the points equally, we need to divide the total points by the number of teams.
1299/3 = 433
A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 11 meters and the total area is 1299 square meters. Find the width?
117 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1299 = 11 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 11 to the left side.
1299/11 = width
Width = 117.
There are 39 bins and 1299 pieces of trash. How many pieces of trash will be in each bin?
Each bin will have 33 pieces of trash.
To find the pieces of trash in each bin, divide the total pieces of trash by the bins.
1299/39 = 33
In a concert, there are 1299 attendees, and 11 sections. How many attendees are there in each section?
There are 117 attendees in each section.
Dividing the attendees by the total sections, we will get the number of attendees in each section.
1299/11 = 117
1299 books need to be arranged in 3 bookshelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 433 books.
Divide total books by the shelves.
1299/3 = 433
