What are the Factors of 3239?

The numbers that divide 3239 evenly are known as factors of 3239.

 

A factor of 3239 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 3239 are 1, 7, 461, and 3239.

 

Negative factors of 3239: -1, -7, -461, and -3239.

 

Prime factors of 3239: 7 and 461.

 

Prime factorization of 3239: 7 × 461.

 

The sum of factors of 3239: 1 + 7 + 461 + 3239 = 3708

How to Find Factors of 3239?

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 3239. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 3239 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 3239 by 1, 3239 × 1 = 3239.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 3239 after multiplying 7 × 461 = 3239

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 3239 are: (1, 3239) and (7, 461). All these factor pairs result in 3239. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 3239 by 1, 3239 ÷ 1 = 3239.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 3239 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

3239 ÷ 1 = 3239

3239 ÷ 7 = 461

3239 ÷ 461 = 7

 

Therefore, the factors of 3239 are: 1, 7, 461, and 3239.

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 3239 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

3239 ÷ 7 = 461

461 ÷ 461 = 1

 

The prime factors of 3239 are 7 and 461.

 

The prime factorization of 3239 is: 7 × 461.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, 3239 is divided by 7 to get 461.

 

Step 2: Now divide 461 by itself to get 1. Here, 7 and 461 are the smallest prime numbers, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 3239 is: 7 × 461.

 

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 3239: (1, 3239) and (7, 461).

 

Negative factor pairs of 3239: (-1, -3239) and (-7, -461).

Problem 1

A park has 7 benches and 3239 flowers. How will the flowers be arranged equally on the benches?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each bench will have 461 flowers.

Explanation

To arrange the flowers equally, we need to divide the total flowers by the number of benches.

3239/7 = 461

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 461 meters and a total area of 3239 square meters. Find the width.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

7 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,

Area = length × width

3239 = 461 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 461 to the left side.

3239/461 = width

Width = 7.
