Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 339, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 339 evenly are known as factors of 339.
A factor of 339 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 339 are 1, 3, 113, and 339.
Negative factors of 339: -1, -3, -113, and -339.
Prime factors of 339: 3 and 113.
Prime factorization of 339: 3 × 113.
The sum of factors of 339: 1 + 3 + 113 + 339 = 456
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 339. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 339 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 339 by 1, 339 × 1 = 339.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 339 after multiplying 3 × 113 = 339
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 339 are: (1, 339) and (3, 113).
All these factor pairs result in 339.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Divide the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and list out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors.
Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 339 by 1, 339 ÷ 1 = 339.
Step 2: Continue dividing 339 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
339 ÷ 1 = 339
339 ÷ 3 = 113
Therefore, the factors of 339 are: 1, 3, 113, and 339.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 339 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
339 ÷ 3 = 113
113 ÷ 113 = 1
The prime factors of 339 are 3 and 113.
The prime factorization of 339 is: 3 × 113.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 339 is divided by 3 to get 113.
Step 2: Now divide 113 by 113 to get 1. Here, 113 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 339 is: 3 × 113.
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 339: (1, 339) and (3, 113).
Negative factor pairs of 339: (-1, -339) and (-3, -113).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 339 seats in a theater and 3 sections. How will they divide the seats equally?
They will get 113 seats in each section.
To divide the seats equally, we need to divide the total seats with the number of sections.
339/3 = 113
A rectangular garden has a length of 3 meters and the total area is 339 square meters. Find the width.
113 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,
Area = length × width
339 = 3 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 3 to the left side.
339/3 = width
Width = 113.
There are 113 teachers and 339 textbooks. How many textbooks will each teacher receive?
Each teacher will receive 3 textbooks.
To find the textbooks each teacher receives, divide the total textbooks by the number of teachers.
339/113 = 3
In a library, there are 339 books, and 1 shelf. How many books are there on the shelf?
There are 339 books on the shelf.
Dividing the books by the total shelves, we will get the number of books on each shelf.
339/1 = 339
339 candies need to be distributed among 3 children. How many candies will each child receive?
Each child will receive 113 candies.
Divide total candies by the number of children.
339/3 = 113
