What are the Factors of 559?

The numbers that divide 559 evenly are known as factors of 559.

 

A factor of 559 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 559 are 1, 13, 43, and 559.

 

Negative factors of 559: -1, -13, -43, and -559.

 

Prime factors of 559: 13 and 43.

 

Prime factorization of 559: 13 × 43.

 

The sum of factors of 559: 1 + 13 + 43 + 559 = 616

How to Find Factors of 559?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using the 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 559. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 559 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 559 by 1, 559 × 1 = 559.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 559 after multiplying 13 × 43 = 559

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 559 are: (1, 559) and (13, 43).

 

All these factor pairs result in 559. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 559 by 1, 559 ÷ 1 = 559.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 559 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

559 ÷ 1 = 559

559 ÷ 13 = 43

559 ÷ 43 = 13

 

Therefore, the factors of 559 are: 1, 13, 43, 559.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using a factor tree
     

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 559 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1.

 

559 ÷ 13 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

 

The prime factors of 559 are 13 and 43.

 

The prime factorization of 559 is: 13 × 43.

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, 559 is divided by 13 to get 43.

 

Step 2: Now divide 43 by 43 to get 1. Here, 43 is a prime number, and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 559 is: 13 × 43.

 

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 559: (1, 559) and (13, 43).

 

Negative factor pairs of 559: (-1, -559) and (-13, -43).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 559

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every whole number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 559, 1 and 559 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 13 buses and 559 passengers. How will they be divided equally among the buses?

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

They will have 43 passengers each.

Explanation

To divide the passengers equally, we need to divide the total passengers by the number of buses.

 

559/13 = 43

Problem 2

A farmer has a rectangular field with a length of 43 meters and a total area of 559 square meters. Find the width.

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

13 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the field, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

559 = 43 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 43 to the left side.

 

559/43 = width

 

Width = 13.

Problem 3

There are 559 apples to be packed in 43 boxes. How many apples will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 13 apples.

Explanation

To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the boxes.

 

559/43 = 13
