Prime Factorization of 59 = 59

The Sum of Factors of 59 = 59
 

To find the factors of 59, students need to divide the original number evenly without leaving a remainder. Some methods are explained below for easy solution of factors-

• Multiplication Method

• Division Method

• Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

• Factor Tree

Students need to find pairs of numbers that multiply together to give the original number.

Multiply the factors 1 and 59

1×59 = 59

Children need to get the division in a whole number, then both the divisor and the quotient are factors.

Check the number from 2 up to the square root of 59, where the square root of 59 is ±7.68. So, you need to check until 7.

59 / 2 =29.5

59 / 3 =19.6

59 / 4 =14.7

59 / 5 = 11.8

59 / 6 = 9.8

59 / 7 = 8.4

None of the above numbers divide 59 evenly, 59 has no factors other than 1 and 59.

Prime factors are prime numbers, with 1 and the number as factors. Prime Factorization helps to express the prime factors in their exponential form.

Prime Factors: Number 59 has only two prime factors.

Prime Factors of 59: 1 and 59

Prime Factorization of 59: Prime Factorization breaks down the prime factors of 59

Prime Factorization of 59 is expressed as 591
 

For a prime number like 59, the factor tree only has two branches, 1 and 59. Where 59 can not be broken into smaller prime factors.

Factor trees are applicable when your number is composite.

Factor Pairs : Factors of 59 are divided into both positive and negative pairs. 

The product of the factor pairs will be equal to the integer.

Positive pair :(1, 59)

Negative pair :(-1, -59)

• Factor :This is a number that divides another number evenly without leaving a remainder.

• Divisor: It is said to be a number that divides another number evenly without leaving a remainder.

• Composite Number :A number which is greater than one, and it has at least one positive integer other than one and the number itself.

• Multiple :It is a product of the given number and some other integer.

• Prime factorization :A method of splitting down a number to its prime factors, which are the smallest numbers that multiple to result in a given number.
