Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 499 by 1, 499 ÷ 1 = 499. Since 499 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by any other whole number except 1 and itself without leaving a remainder. Therefore, the factors of 499 are: 1, 499.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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 499 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. Since 499 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 1 and itself. The prime factorization of 499 is: 499.
