Factors of 89
Factors of any number are the whole numbers that can divide the number completely. Why are factors important to learn? For mathematical approaches, factors are used in organizing and bringing more efficiency to any task. In this article, let's learn how to solve factors 89 easily.
What are the Factors of 89?
Factors of 89 are those numbers that can divide 89 perfectly. The factors of 89 are:
1 and 89.
Negative factors of 89: -1,-89.
Prime factors of 89: 89
Prime factorization of 89: 89×1
The sum of factors of 89: 1+89 = 90
How to Find the Factors of 89
For finding factors of 89, we will be learning these below-mentioned methods:
- Multiplication Method
- Division Method
- Prime Factor and Prime Factorization
- Factor Tree
Finding Factors using Multiplication Methods
This particular method often finds the pair of factors which, on multiplication together, produces 89. Let us find the pairs which, on multiplication, yields 89.
1×89=89
From this, we conclude that, factors of 89 are: 1 and 89.
Finding Factors using Division Method
The division method finds the numbers that evenly divides the given number 89. To find the factors of 89, we have to divide 89 by all possible natural numbers less than 89 and check.
1 and 89 are the only factors that the number 89 has. So to verify the factors of 89 using the division method, we just need to divide 89 by each factor.
89/1 =89
89/89=1
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 89 into a product of its prime integers.
Prime Factors of 89: 89.
Prime Factorization of 89: 89×1
Factor tree
The number 89 is written on top and two branches are extended.
Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 89.
Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number).
The first two branches of the factor tree of 89 are 1 and 89.
Factor Pairs
Positive pair factors: (1,89)
Negative pair factors: (-1,-89)
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 89
Children quite often make silly mistakes while solving factors. Let us see what are the common errors to occur and how to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Misconception and confusion about factors with that of multiples.
Factors are way different from multiples. You need to understand it clearly that factors are integers which divide a given number evenly, and multiples are the products we get when the original number is multiplied with different numbers.
Factors of 89 Examples
Problem 1
The LCM of two numbers is 89 and their GCF is 1. If one of the numbers is 89, find the other.
We know that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM.
⇒ 89× x = 89×1
⇒ x =(89×1) / 89
⇒ x = 1
Answer: The other number is 1.
Explanation
Using the concept of the product of two numbers being equal to the product of their GCF and LCM, we solved it.
Problem 2
Find the simplest form of square root of 89.
√89
= √(89×1)
= √89
Answer: The simplest form of square root of 89 is √89.
Explanation
Break down 89 into its product of its prime factor and find its square root by grouping a pair of factors at a time, leaving the remaining single factors under radical.
Problem 3
Find the factors of 178.
The factors of 178 are 1,2,89 and 178.
Answer: 1,2,89,178
Explanation
Found the factors of 178 through factorization.
Problem 4
Find the smallest number that is divisible by 89 and 178.
Prime factorization of 89: 89×1.
Prime factorization of 178: 2×89
LCM of 89 and 178: 2×89 = 178
Answer: 178 is the smallest number which is divisible by 89 and 178.
Explanation
To find the smallest number which is divisible by 89 and 178, we need to find the LCM of these numbers.
Problem 5
If a number is divisible by both 3 and 89, is it divisible by 267?
Yes, any number which is divisible by 3 and 89 is also divisible by 267, since 267 = 3×89
Answer: Yes
Explanation
Any number which is divisible by the factor 3 and factor 89 of 267, then it is also divisible by 267 because 267 is a product of 3 and 89.
