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 1439, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 1439 evenly are known as factors of 1439.
A factor of 1439 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 1439 are 1, 11, 131, and 1439.
Negative factors of 1439: -1, -11, -131, and -1439.
Prime factors of 1439: 11 and 131.
Prime factorization of 1439: 11 × 131.
The sum of factors of 1439: 1 + 11 + 131 + 1439 = 1582
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 1439. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1439 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 1439 by 1, 1439 × 1 = 1439.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1439 after multiplying
11 × 131 = 1439
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1439 are: (1, 1439) and (11, 131).
All these factor pairs result in 1439.
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 the simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 1439 by 1, 1439 ÷ 1 = 1439.
Step 2: Continue dividing 1439 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
1439 ÷ 1 = 1439
1439 ÷ 11 = 131
1439 ÷ 131 = 11
Therefore, the factors of 1439 are: 1, 11, 131, 1439.
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 1439 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
1439 ÷ 11 = 131
131 ÷ 131 = 1
The prime factors of 1439 are 11 and 131.
The prime factorization of 1439 is: 11 × 131.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -
Step 1: Firstly, 1439 is divided by 11 to get 131.
Step 2: Now divide 131 by 131 to get 1.
So, the prime factorization of 1439 is: 11 × 131.
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 1439: (1, 1439) and (11, 131).
Negative factor pairs of 1439: (-1, -1439) and (-11, -131).
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 11 teams and 1439 participants. How will they distribute the participants equally among the teams?
Each team will have 131 participants.
To divide the participants equally, we need to divide the total participants by the number of teams.
1439/11 = 131
A rectangular garden has a length of 11 meters, and the total area is 1439 square meters. What is the width?
131 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
1439 = 11 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 11 to the left side.
1439/11 = width
Width = 131.
There are 1439 apples and 131 baskets. How many apples will be in each basket?
Each basket will have 11 apples.
To find the apples in each basket, divide the total apples by the number of baskets.
1439/131 = 11
In a conference, there are 1439 attendees, and 11 speakers. How many attendees will each speaker address?
Each speaker will address 131 attendees.
Dividing the attendees by the total speakers, we will get the number of attendees each speaker addresses.
1439/11 = 131
1439 books need to be arranged in 11 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 131 books.
Divide the total books by the number of shelves.
1439/11 = 131
