1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using division method
3. Prime factors and Prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1529. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1529 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1529 by 1, 1529 × 1 = 1529.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1529 after multiplying 7 × 218 = 1529

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1529 are: (1, 1529) and (7, 218). 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 a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1529 by 1, 1529 ÷ 1 = 1529.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1529 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1529 ÷ 1 = 1529

1529 ÷ 7 = 218

Therefore, the factors of 1529 are: 1, 7, 218, and 1529.

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 1529 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1529 ÷ 7 = 218

The prime factors of 1529 are 7 and 218. The prime factorization of 1529 is: 7 × 218.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1529 is divided by 7 to get 218.

Step 2: 218 cannot be divided further by the smallest prime number. So, the prime factorization of 1529 is: 7 × 218.

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
