How to Find the Factors of 129

For finding factors of 129, we will be learning these below-mentioned methods:

 

  • Multiplication Method

 

  • Division Method

 

  • Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

 

  • Factor Tree
     
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors using Multiplication Methods

This particular method often finds the pair of factors which, on multiplication together, produces 129. Let us find the pairs which, on multiplication, yields 129.

 

  • 1×129=129

 

  • 3×43=129

 

Factors of 129 by multiplication method
So, factors of 129 are: 1,3,43, and 129.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors using Division Method

The division method finds the factors that evenly divides the given number 129. In this process, we have to divide 129 by all possible natural numbers less than 129 and check.


1,3,43, and 129 are the only factors that the number 129 has. So to verify the factors of 129 using the division method, we just need to divide 129 by each factor.

 

  • 129/1 =129

 

  • 129/3=43

 

  • 129/43=3

 

  • 129/129=1

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 129 into a product of its prime integers.

 

  • Prime Factors of 129: 3,43.

 

  • Prime Factorization of 129: 3×43
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor tree

The number 129 is written on top and two branches are extended.


Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 129.


Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number).


The first two branches of the factor tree of 129 are 3 and 43.

Factor Pairs


Positive pair factors:   (1,129), (3,43).


Negative pair factors: (-1,-129), (-3,-43).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 129

Solving problems based on factors can, sometimes, lead to misconceptions among children. Let us check what the common errors are and how to avoid them.
 

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

 Factors might be larger than the given number.
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Factors can never be larger than the given number, but multiples can be. You need to understand the concept that factors are integers which divide a given number perfectly, and multiples are the products we get when the original number is multiplied with different numbers.

Problem 1

Find the GCF of 129 and 130

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

Factors of 129: 1,3,43,129


Factors of 130: 1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130


Common factors of 129 and 130: 1


So, the Greatest Common Factor of 129 and 130 is 1.


Answer: 1
 

Explanation

We first listed out the factors of 129 and 130 and then found the common factors and then identified the greatest common factor from the common list.

Problem 2

Find the smallest number which, when divided by 3,43 and 129, leaves a remainder 2 in each case

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

First finding the LCM of 3,43,123


Prime factorization of 3 =3×1


Prime factorization of 43 = 43×1


Prime factorization of 129 = 3×43


LCM of 3,43,129 = 3×43=129


The smallest number which, when divided by 3,43 and 129, leaves a remainder 2 in each case is

 

= LCM + 2 = 129+2 =131


Answer: 131
 

Explanation

 First find the LCM and just add the remainder with that to get the smallest number.

Problem 3

The area of a rectangle is 129 square units. If the length is 43 units, then what is the measure of its width?

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

Area of rectangle: 129 sq units


Factors of 129: 1,3,43,129


We know that the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and breadth.


Given, length= 43 units


There exists a factor pair of 129, which is (3,43). Hence, width is 3 units. Let’s check it through the formula for area.


So, length×width = area


⇒ 43 × width = 129


⇒ width = 129/43 = 3


Answer: 3 units
 

Explanation

Used the concept of factor pairs for 129 and rechecked using the formula for finding area of a rectangle.
