1 × 479 = 479

Thus, the factors of 479 are 1 and 479.
 

The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are given below:

Step 1: Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor. Example: 479 ÷ 1 = 479

Step 2: Move to the next integer. The factors of the number include the number that is used to divide and the number of times the particular number is divided.

Thus, the factors of 479 are 1 and 479.
 

Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. A number, when simplified using the factors of that number and expressed in the form of prime factors, is its prime factorization.

Prime Factors of 479: Number 479 has only one prime factor.

Prime factors of 479: 479

Since 479 is a prime number, its prime factorization is just 479.
 

The prime factorization is visually represented using the factor tree. It helps to understand the process easily.
This tree shows the breakdown of 479 into its prime factors:

In this case, 479 is a prime number, so the factor tree simply shows 479 at the root.

Factors of 479 can be written in both positive and negative pairs. They are like team members, and their product will equal the number given.

Positive Factor Pairs: (1, 479)
Negative Factor Pairs: (-1, -479)
 

• Co-prime: Numbers that have 1 as the only common factor. For example, 75 and 479 are co-prime because their greatest common factor (GCF) is 1.

• Perfect Square: A number that we get when the same number is multiplied by itself. In the factors of 479, the only perfect square is 1 (1 × 1).

• Prime Factors: Prime numbers that, when multiplied together, yield the given number. For 479, the prime factor is 479 itself since it is a prime number.

• Factor Tree: A diagram used to represent the prime factorization of a number. For 479, the factor tree would simply show 479 at the root, indicating it’s a prime number.

• Multiple: The numbers we get when another number is multiplied by the given number. For instance, 479 is not a multiple of 11 as no integer multiplied by 11 results in 479.
