Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 99999 are: (1, 99999), (3, 33333), (9, 11111), (27, 3703), (37, 2703). All these factor pairs result in 99999. 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 99999 by 1, 99999 ÷ 1 = 99999.

Step 2: Continue dividing 99999 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

99999 ÷ 1 = 99999

99999 ÷ 3 = 33333

99999 ÷ 9 = 11111

99999 ÷ 27 = 3703

99999 ÷ 37 = 2703

Therefore, the factors of 99999 are: 1, 3, 9, 27, 37, 111, 333, 999, 2703, 9999, 37037, 99999.

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 99999 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

99999 ÷ 3 = 33333

33333 ÷ 3 = 11111

11111 ÷ 3 = 3703

3703 ÷ 37 = 1

The prime factors of 99999 are 3 and 37. The prime factorization of 99999 is: 3⁵ × 37.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 99999 is divided by 3 to get 33333.

Step 2: Now divide 33333 by 3 to get 11111.

Step 3: Then divide 11111 by 3 to get 3703.

Step 4: Divide 3703 by 37 to get 1. Here, 37 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 99999 is: 3⁵ × 37.
