What are the Factors of 529?

The numbers that divide 529 evenly are known as factors of 529.

 

A factor of 529 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 529 are 1, 23, and 529.

 

Negative factors of 529: -1, -23, and -529.

 

Prime factors of 529: 23.

 

Prime factorization of 529: 23 × 23 or 23².

 

The sum of factors of 529: 1 + 23 + 529 = 553

How to Find Factors of 529?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the division method
     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 529. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 529 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 529 by 1, 529 × 1 = 529.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 529 after multiplying 23 × 23 = 529

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 529 are: (1, 529) and (23, 23).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 529 by 1, 529 ÷ 1 = 529.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 529 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

529 ÷ 1 = 529

529 ÷ 23 = 23

 

Therefore, the factors of 529 are: 1, 23, and 529.

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

 

529 ÷ 23 = 23

23 ÷ 23 = 1

 

The prime factor of 529 is 23.

 

The prime factorization of 529 is: 23 × 23 or 23².

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, 529 is divided by 23 to get 23.

 

Step 2: Now, divide 23 by 23 to get 1. Here, 23 is the smallest prime number, and it cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 529 is: 23 × 23 or 23².

 

Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs.

 

Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

 

Positive factor pairs of 529: (1, 529) and (23, 23).

 

Negative factor pairs of 529: (-1, -529) and (-23, -23).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 529

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

People might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 529, 1 and 529 are also factors.
