What are the Factors of 3599?

The numbers that divide 3599 evenly are known as factors of 3599.

 

A factor of 3599 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 3599 are 1, 59, 61, and 3599.

 

Negative factors of 3599: -1, -59, -61, and -3599.

 

Prime factors of 3599: 59 and 61.

 

Prime factorization of 3599: 59 × 61.

 

The sum of factors of 3599: 1 + 59 + 61 + 3599 = 3720

How to Find Factors of 3599?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using division method

     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 3599. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 3599 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 3599 by 1, 3599 × 1 = 3599.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 3599 after multiplying:     

59 × 61 = 3599

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 3599 are: (1, 3599) and (59, 61). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number by 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 3599 by 1, 3599 ÷ 1 = 3599.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 3599 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.     

3599 ÷ 1 = 3599     

3599 ÷ 59 = 61     

3599 ÷ 61 = 59

 

Therefore, the factors of 3599 are: 1, 59, 61, and 3599.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using factor tree
     

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 3599 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.     

 

3599 ÷ 59 = 61     

61 ÷ 61 = 1

 

The prime factors of 3599 are 59 and 61.

 

The prime factorization of 3599 is: 59 × 61.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 3599 is divided by 59 to get 61.

 

Step 2: Now divide 61 by 61 to get 1.

Here, 61 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

So, the prime factorization of 3599 is: 59 × 61.

 

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 3599: (1, 3599) and (59, 61).

 

Negative factor pairs of 3599: (-1, -3599) and (-59, -61).

Problem 1

There are 61 boxes and 3599 apples. How will they divide them equally?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

They will get 59 apples each.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of boxes.

3599/61 = 59

Problem 2

A banner is rectangular, the width of the banner is 59 inches and the total area is 3599 square inches. Find the length?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

61 inches.

Explanation

To find the length of the banner, we use the formula,    

 Area = length × width     

3599 = 59 × length     

To find the value of length, we need to shift 59 to the left side.     

3599/59 = length     

Length = 61.
