What are the Factors of 799?

The numbers that divide 799 evenly are known as factors of 799.

 

A factor of 799 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 799 are 1, 17, 47, and 799.

 

Negative factors of 799: -1, -17, -47, and -799.

 

Prime factors of 799: 17 and 47.

 

Prime factorization of 799: 17 × 47.

 

The sum of factors of 799: 1 + 17 + 47 + 799 = 864.

How to Find Factors of 799?

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 799. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 799 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 799 by 1, 799 × 1 = 799.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 799 after multiplying

17 × 47 = 799

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 799 are: (1, 799) and (17, 47). All these factor pairs result in 799.

 

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 the simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 799 by 1, 799 ÷ 1 = 799.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 799 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

799 ÷ 1 = 799

799 ÷ 17 = 47

799 ÷ 47 = 17

 

Therefore, the factors of 799 are: 1, 17, 47, 799.

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

799 ÷ 17 = 47

47 ÷ 47 = 1

 

The prime factors of 799 are 17 and 47.

 

The prime factorization of 799 is: 17 × 47.

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, 799 is divided by 17 to get 47.

 

Step 2: Now divide 47 by 47 to get 1. Here, 47 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 799 is: 17 × 47.

 

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 799: (1, 799) and (17, 47).

 

Negative factor pairs of 799: (-1, -799) and (-17, -47).

Problem 1

There are 17 friends and 799 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 47 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of friends.

799/17 = 47

Problem 2

A bridge is 47 meters across and the total area is 799 square meters. Find the length?

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

17 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the bridge, we use the formula, Area = length × width

799 = length × 47

To find the value of length, we need to shift 47 to the left side.

799/47 = length

Length = 17.
