What are the Factors of 1591?

The numbers that divide 1591 evenly are known as factors of 1591.

 

A factor of 1591 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1591 are 1, 11, 23, 69, 121, 253, 1591.

 

Negative factors of 1591: -1, -11, -23, -69, -121, -253, -1591.

 

Prime factors of 1591: 11 and 23.

 

Prime factorization of 1591: 11 × 23.

 

The sum of factors of 1591: 1 + 11 + 23 + 69 + 121 + 253 + 1591 = 2069

How to Find Factors of 1591?

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 1591. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 1591 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1591 by 1, 1591 × 1 = 1591.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1591 after multiplying

11 × 23 = 253

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1591 are: (1, 1591), (11, 23), (23, 69), (69, 23), (121, 13), (253, 6), (1591, 1).

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 1591 by 1, 1591 ÷ 1 = 1591.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1591 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1591 ÷ 1 = 1591

1591 ÷ 11 = 23

1591 ÷ 23 = 69

1591 ÷ 69 = 23

1591 ÷ 121 = 13

1591 ÷ 253 = 6

 

Therefore, the factors of 1591 are: 1, 11, 23, 69, 121, 253, 1591.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 1591 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1591 ÷ 11 = 145

145 ÷ 11 = 13

 

The prime factors of 1591 are 11 and 23.

The prime factorization of 1591 is: 11 × 23.

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, 1591 is divided by 11 to get 145.

 

Step 2: Now divide 145 by 11 to get 13.

Here, 13 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.

So, the prime factorization of 1591 is: 11 × 23.

 

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 1591: (1, 1591), (11, 23).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1591: (-1, -1591), (-11, -23).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1591

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

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 1591, 1 and 1591 are also factors.

Factors of 1591 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

A workshop has 1591 screws and needs to distribute them equally among 11 boxes. How many screws will each box get?

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

Each box will get 145 screws.

Explanation

To distribute the screws equally, we divide the total screws by the number of boxes.

 

1591/11 = 145

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has an area of 1591 square meters with a width of 23 meters. What is the length of the garden?

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

69 meters.

Explanation

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

Area = length × width

1591 = length × 23

To find the value of the length, divide 1591 by 23.

1591/23 = 69

Problem 3

There are 253 books to be placed into 11 shelves. How many books will be on each shelf?

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

Each shelf will have 23 books.

Explanation

To find the books on each shelf, divide the total books by the shelves.

253/11 = 23
