What are the Factors of 1039?

The numbers that divide 1039 evenly are known as factors of 1039.

 

A factor of 1039 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1039 are 1 and 1039.

 

Negative factors of 1039: -1 and -1039.

 

Prime factors of 1039: 1039.

 

Prime factorization of 1039: 1039.

 

The sum of factors of 1039: 1 + 1039 = 1040.

How to Find Factors of 1039?

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 1039. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1039 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1039 by 1, 1039 × 1 = 1039.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1039 after multiplying.

 

There are no other pairs since 1039 is a prime number. Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1039 is: (1, 1039). 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 1039 by 1, 1039 ÷ 1 = 1039.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1039 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1039 ÷ 1 = 1039

1039 ÷ 1039 = 1

 

Therefore, the factors of 1039 are: 1 and 1039.

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 1039 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. Since 1039 is a prime number, it cannot be further factorized. The prime factorization of 1039 is: 1039.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. However, since 1039 is already a prime number, it cannot be broken down further.

 

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 1039: (1, 1039).

 

Negative factor pair of 1039: (-1, -1039).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 1039

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 factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 1039, 1 and 1039 are also factors.

Factors of 1039 Examples

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

Problem 1

A class has 1039 students, and they want to form groups such that each group has the same number of students and no student is left out. What is the size of each group if they want to form the maximum number of groups?

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

Each group will have 1 student.

Explanation

Since 1039 is a prime number, the only possible group sizes that divide the class evenly are 1 and 1039. To form the maximum number of groups, each group can only have 1 student.

Problem 2

A conference hall has 1039 chairs. If each row must have the same number of chairs, what are the possible numbers of chairs per row?

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

The number of chairs per row can be either 1 or 1039.

Explanation

Since 1039 is a prime number, the only divisors are 1 and 1039, meaning chairs can be arranged in 1 row of 1039 chairs or 1039 rows of 1 chair.

Problem 3

You have 1039 identical stamps, and you want to distribute them into envelopes so that each envelope receives the same number of stamps without any leftover. How many stamps can each envelope have?

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

Each envelope can have either 1 stamp or 1039 stamps.

Explanation

1039 is a prime number, so the only factors are 1 and 1039. Thus, envelopes can contain either 1 stamp each or all 1039 in a single envelope.

Problem 4

A baker has 1039 cookies and wants to pack them into boxes. If each box must contain the same number of cookies, what is the number of cookies per box?

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

Each box can have either 1 cookie or 1039 cookies.

Explanation

As 1039 is a prime number, the possible number of cookies per box is limited to the factors of 1039, which are 1 and 1039.

Problem 5

You have 1039 blocks and want to stack them into columns so that each column has the same number of blocks. How many blocks will each column have?

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

Each column will have either 1 block or 1039 blocks.

Explanation

Since 1039 is a prime number, its only factors are 1 and 1039. Thus, the blocks can be arranged in columns of 1 block each or a single column of 1039 blocks.
