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 1599, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1599 evenly are known as factors of 1599.
A factor of 1599 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.
The factors of 1599 are 1, 3, 11, 33, 48, 53, 144, 159, 176, 479, 533, and 1599.
Negative factors of 1599: -1, -3, -11, -33, -48, -53, -144, -159, -176, -479, -533, and -1599.
Prime factors of 1599: 3, 11, and 53.
Prime factorization of 1599: 3 × 11 × 53.
The sum of factors of 1599: 1 + 3 + 11 + 33 + 48 + 53 + 144 + 159 + 176 + 479 + 533 + 1599 = 3240
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 1599. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1599 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1599 by 1, 1599 × 1 = 1599.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1599 after multiplying
3 × 533 = 1599
11 × 145 = 1599
33 × 48 = 1599
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1599 are: (1, 1599), (3, 533), (11, 145), (33, 48).
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1599 by 1, 1599 ÷ 1 = 1599.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1599 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1599 ÷ 1 = 1599
1599 ÷ 3 = 533
1599 ÷ 11 = 145
1599 ÷ 33 = 48
Therefore, the factors of 1599 are: 1, 3, 11, 33, 48, 53, 144, 159, 176, 479, 533, 1599.
The factors can be found by dividing them with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1599 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1599 ÷ 3 = 533
533 ÷ 11 = 49
49 ÷ 7 = 7
7 ÷ 7 = 1
The prime factors of 1599 are 3, 11, and 53.
The prime factorization of 1599 is: 3 × 11 × 53.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -
Step 1: Firstly, 1599 is divided by 3 to get 533.
Step 2: Now divide 533 by 11 to get 49.
Step 3: Then divide 49 by 7 to get 7.
Here, 7 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.
So, the prime factorization of 1599 is: 3 × 11 × 53.
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 1599: (1, 1599), (3, 533), (11, 145), and (33, 48).
Negative factor pairs of 1599: (-1, -1599), (-3, -533), (-11, -145), and (-33, -48).
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 1599 fans. How will the fans be distributed equally among the teams?
Each team will have 533 fans.
To distribute the fans equally, we need to divide the total fans with the number of teams. 1599/3 = 533
A rectangular garden has a length of 11 meters and a total area of 1599 square meters. Find the width.
145 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 1599 = 11 × width To find the value of width, we need to shift 11 to the left side. 1599/11 = width Width = 145.
There are 33 crates and 1599 apples. How many apples will be in each crate?
Each crate will have 48 apples.
To find the apples in each crate, divide the total apples with the crates. 1599/33 = 48
In a school, there are 1599 students, and 11 classrooms. How many students are there in each classroom?
There are 145 students in each classroom.
Dividing the students with the total classrooms, we will get the number of students in each classroom. 1599/11 = 145
1599 cans need to be arranged in 53 rows. How many cans will go in each row?
Each of the rows will have 30 cans.
Divide total cans with rows. 1599/53 = 30
