What are the Factors of 599?

The numbers that divide 599 evenly are known as factors of 599.

 

A factor of 599 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 599 are 1, 599.

 

Negative factors of 599: -1, -599.

 

Prime factors of 599: 599 (since 599 is a prime number).

 

Prime factorization of 599: 599.

 

The sum of factors of 599: 1 + 599 = 600

How to Find Factors of 599?

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 599. Since 599 is a prime number, the only multiplication method involves:

 

Step 1: Multiply 599 by 1, 599 × 1 = 599.

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 599 are: (1, 599). 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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 599 by 1, 599 ÷ 1 = 599.

 

Since 599 is a prime number, it cannot be divided by any other number without a remainder.

 

Therefore, the factors of 599 are: 1, 599.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: Since 599 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further into other prime factors.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

 

For 599, since it is a prime number, the factor tree only consists of 599 itself.

 

So, the prime factorization of 599 is: 599.

 

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 599: (1, 599).

 

Negative factor pairs of 599: (-1, -599).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 599

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

 

For example, in factors of 599, 1 and 599 are also factors.

Problem 4

If a rectangular field has a width of 1 meter and an area of 599 square meters, what is the length of the field?

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

599 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

599 = length × 1

 

Length = 599
