Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without a 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 519, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 519 evenly are known as factors of 519.
A factor of 519 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 519 are 1, 3, 173, and 519.
Negative factors of 519: -1, -3, -173, and -519.
Prime factors of 519: 3 and 173.
Prime factorization of 519: 3 × 173.
The sum of factors of 519: 1 + 3 + 173 + 519 = 696
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 519. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 519 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 519 by 1, 519 × 1 = 519.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 519 after multiplying 3 × 173 = 519
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 519 are: (1, 519) and (3, 173).
All these factor pairs result in 519.
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 519 by 1, 519 ÷ 1 = 519.
Step 2: Continue dividing 519 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
519 ÷ 1 = 519
519 ÷ 3 = 173
Therefore, the factors of 519 are: 1, 3, 173, 519.
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 519 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
519 ÷ 3 = 173
173 ÷ 173 = 1
The prime factors of 519 are 3 and 173.
The prime factorization of 519 is: 3 × 173.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show
Step 1: Firstly, 519 is divided by 3 to get 173.
Step 2: Now divide 173 by 173 to get 1. Here, 173 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 519 is: 3 × 173.
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 519: (1, 519) and (3, 173).
Negative factor pairs of 519: (-1, -519) and (-3, -173).
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 friends and 519 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 173 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.
519 ÷ 3 = 173
A rectangular banner is 3 meters long and has an area of 519 square meters. What is the width?
173 meters.
To find the width of the banner, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
519 = 3 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 3 to the left side.
519 ÷ 3 = width
Width = 173.
There are 173 boxes and 519 items. How many items will be in each box?
Each box will have 3 items.
To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the number of boxes.
519 ÷ 173 = 3
A class has 519 students and 3 groups. How many students are there in each group?
There are 173 students in each group.
Dividing the students by the total groups gives the number of students in each group.
519 ÷ 3 = 173
519 books need to be arranged in 173 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf has 3 books.
Divide the total books by the number of shelves.
519 ÷ 173 = 3
