What are the Factors of 519?

The numbers that divide 519 evenly are known as factors of 519.

 

A factor of 519 is a number that divides the number without a remainder.

 

The factors of 519 are 1, 3, 173, and 519.

 

Negative factors of 519: -1, -3, -173, and -519.

 

Prime factors of 519: 3 and 173.

 

Prime factorization of 519: 3 × 173.

 

The sum of factors of 519: 1 + 3 + 173 + 519 = 696

How to Find Factors of 519?

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 519. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 519 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 519 by 1, 519 × 1 = 519.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 519 after multiplying 3 × 173 = 519

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 519 are: (1, 519) and (3, 173).

 

All these factor pairs result in 519.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers 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 a simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 519 by 1, 519 ÷ 1 = 519.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 519 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

519 ÷ 1 = 519

519 ÷ 3 = 173

 

Therefore, the factors of 519 are: 1, 3, 173, 519.

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 a factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 519 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

519 ÷ 3 = 173

173 ÷ 173 = 1

 

The prime factors of 519 are 3 and 173.

 

The prime factorization of 519 is: 3 × 173.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show

 

Step 1: Firstly, 519 is divided by 3 to get 173.

 

Step 2: Now divide 173 by 173 to get 1. Here, 173 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 519 is: 3 × 173.

 

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 519: (1, 519) and (3, 173).

 

Negative factor pairs of 519: (-1, -519) and (-3, -173).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 519

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

People 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 519, 1 and 519 are also factors.

Factors of 519 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 3 friends and 519 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 173 candies each.

Explanation

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

 

519 ÷ 3 = 173

Problem 2

A rectangular banner is 3 meters long and has an area of 519 square meters. What is the width?

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

173 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

519 = 3 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 3 to the left side.

 

519 ÷ 3 = width

 

Width = 173.

Problem 3

There are 173 boxes and 519 items. How many items will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 3 items.

Explanation

To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the number of boxes.

 

519 ÷ 173 = 3
