Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1579. Since 1579 is a prime number, the only multiplication combination is:

 

Step 1: Multiply 1579 by 1, 1579 × 1 = 1579.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1579 is: (1, 1579).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number with 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 1579 by 1, 1579 ÷ 1 = 1579.

 

Step 2: Check if there are other numbers that divide 1579 without a remainder.

 

Since 1579 is a prime number, no other whole number does.

 

Therefore, the factors of 1579 are: 1 and 1579.

Factor Tree

A factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors.

However, as 1579 is a prime number, the factor tree would simply be: - 1579

 

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 pair of 1579: (1, 1579).

 

Negative factor pair of 1579: (-1, -1579).
