The numbers that divide 199 evenly are known as factors of 199. A factor of 199 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 199 are 1 and 199.

Negative factors of 199: -1 and -199.

Prime factors of 199: 199.

Prime factorization of 199: 199 (since 199 is a prime number).

The sum of factors of 199: 1 + 199 = 200

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

1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using the 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 199. Since 199 is a prime number, the only multiplication that results in 199 is 1 × 199. Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 199 are: (1, 199). 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 that result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 199 by 1, 199 ÷ 1 = 199.

Step 2: Check the divisibility of 199 by numbers up to its square root (approximately 14.1),

since 199 is not divisible by any number other than 1 and itself, it is a prime number. Therefore, the factors of 199 are: 1 and 199.

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 a factor tree

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 199 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

Since 199 is a prime number, it cannot be factored further. The prime factorization of 199 is: 199.

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 199 is a prime number, it does not require a factor tree beyond itself.

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 199: (1, 199).
• Negative factor pairs of 199: (-1, -199).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 199 are 1 and 199.

• Prime number: A number that has no factors other than 1 and itself. For example, 199 is a prime number.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pair of 199 is (1, 199).

• Division method: A method used to find factors by dividing the number by whole numbers to check for zero remainders.

• Prime factorization: Expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. Since 199 is prime, its prime factorization is 199.
