What are the Factors of 689?

The numbers that divide 689 evenly are known as factors of 689.

 

A factor of 689 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 689 are 1, 13, 53, and 689.

 

Negative factors of 689: -1, -13, -53, and -689.

 

Prime factors of 689: 13 and 53.

 

Prime factorization of 689: 13 × 53.

 

The sum of factors of 689: 1 + 13 + 53 + 689 = 756

How to Find Factors of 689?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using 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 689. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 689 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 689 by 1, 689 × 1 = 689.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 689 after multiplying 13 × 53 = 689

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 689 are: (1, 689), (13, 53).

 

All these factor pairs result in 689.

 

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 689 by 1, 689 ÷ 1 = 689.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 689 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

689 ÷ 1 = 689

689 ÷ 13 = 53

689 ÷ 53 = 13

 

Therefore, the factors of 689 are: 1, 13, 53, 689.

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

 

689 ÷ 13 = 53

53 ÷ 53 = 1

 

The prime factors of 689 are 13 and 53.

 

The prime factorization of 689 is: 13 × 53.

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, 689 is divided by 13 to get 53.

 

Step 2: Now divide 53 by 53 to get 1. Here, 53 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 689 is: 13 × 53.

 

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 689: (1, 689), (13, 53).

 

Negative factor pairs of 689: (-1, -689), (-13, -53).

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

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

 

For example, in factors of 689, 1 and 689 is also a factor.

Problem 1

There are 13 friends and 689 apples. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 53 apples each.

Explanation

To divide the apples equally, we need to divide the total apples by the number of friends.

 

689/13 = 53

Problem 2

A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 53 meters and the total area is 689 square meters. Find the width?

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

13 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

689 = 53 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 53 to the left side.

 

689/53 = width

 

Width = 13.
