What are the Factors of 1059?

The numbers that divide 1059 evenly are known as factors of 1059.

 

A factor of 1059 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1059 are 1, 3, 353, and 1059.

 

Negative factors of 1059: -1, -3, -353, and -1059.

 

Prime factors of 1059: 3 and 353.

 

Prime factorization of 1059: 3 × 353.

 

The sum of factors of 1059: 1 + 3 + 353 + 1059 = 1416

How to Find Factors of 1059?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using 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 1059. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1059 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1059 by 1, 1059 × 1 = 1059.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1059 after multiplying 3 × 353 = 1059

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1059 are: (1, 1059) and (3, 353). All these factor pairs result in 1059. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 1059 by 1, 1059 ÷ 1 = 1059.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1059 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1059 ÷ 1 = 1059

1059 ÷ 3 = 353

 

Therefore, the factors of 1059 are: 1, 3, 353, and 1059.

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 1059 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1059 ÷ 3 = 353 353 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

 

The prime factors of 1059 are 3 and 353.

 

The prime factorization of 1059 is: 3 × 353.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 1059 is divided by 3 to get 353

 

Step 2: 353 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1059 is: 3 × 353.

 

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 1059: (1, 1059) and (3, 353).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1059: (-1, -1059) and (-3, -353).

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

 

For example, in factors of 1059, 1 and 1059 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 3 classrooms and 1059 chairs. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 353 chairs each.

Explanation

To divide the chairs equally, we need to divide the total chairs by the number of classrooms.

 

1059/3 = 353

Problem 2

A field is rectangular, the width of the field is 3 meters and the total area is 1059 square meters. Find the length?

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

353 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the field, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

1059 = length × 3

 

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

 

1059/3 = length

 

Length = 353.

There are 353 bags and 1059 books. How many books will be in each bag?

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

Each bag will have 3 books.

Explanation

To find the books in each bag, divide the total books by the bags.

 

1059/353 = 3
