Finding Factors using Division Method

The division method finds the factors that evenly divides the given number 129. In this process, we have to divide 129 by all possible natural numbers less than 129 and check.


1,3,43, and 129 are the only factors that the number 129 has. So to verify the factors of 129 using the division method, we just need to divide 129 by each factor.

  • 129/1 =129
  • 129/3=43
  • 129/43=3
  • 129/129=1

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 129 into a product of its prime integers.

  • Prime Factors of 129: 3,43.
  • Prime Factorization of 129: 3×43

Factor tree

The number 129 is written on top and two branches are extended.


Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 129.


Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number).


The first two branches of the factor tree of 129 are 3 and 43.


Factor Pairs


Positive pair factors:   (1,129), (3,43).


Negative pair factors: (-1,-129), (-3,-43).

Problem 2

Find the smallest number which, when divided by 3,43 and 129, leaves a remainder 2 in each case

Okay, lets begin

First finding the LCM of 3,43,123


Prime factorization of 3 =3×1


Prime factorization of 43 = 43×1


Prime factorization of 129 = 3×43


LCM of 3,43,129 = 3×43=129


The smallest number which, when divided by 3,43 and 129, leaves a remainder 2 in each case is

= LCM + 2 = 129+2 =131


Answer: 131
 

Explanation

 First find the LCM and just add the remainder with that to get the smallest number.

Problem 3

The area of a rectangle is 129 square units. If the length is 43 units, then what is the measure of its width?

Okay, lets begin

Area of rectangle: 129 sq units


Factors of 129: 1,3,43,129


We know that the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and breadth.


Given, length= 43 units


There exists a factor pair of 129, which is (3,43). Hence, width is 3 units. Let’s check it through the formula for area.


So, length×width = area


⇒ 43 × width = 129


⇒ width = 129/43 = 3


Answer: 3 units
 

Explanation

Used the concept of factor pairs for 129 and rechecked using the formula for finding area of a rectangle.

FAQs on Factors of 129

1.What can you multiply to get 129?

 We can multiply some integers with some other integers to get the product as 129. Those particular integers are:

1,3,43 and 129, out of which we make factor pairs for multiplication purposes. The factor pairs are: (1,129), (3,43).

129×1=129 and 3×43=129
 

2.What perfect square goes into 129?

√129 = √(3×43). We can see from this that 129 cannot be a perfect square, since its prime factors cannot be taken out as pairs. The approximate value of the square root of 129 is ±11.36.
 

3.What can 129 be divided by?

Perfect division of 129 can be possible, only when 129 is divided by 1,3,43,129, leaving no remainder. These are also called the factors of 129.
 

4.What is the factor tree of 129?

The number 129 is written on top and two branches are extended. Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 129.

Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number). The first two branches of the factor tree of 129 are 3 and 43.
 

5. Is 129 a perfect cube?

∛129 =  ∛(3×43).  

We can see from this that 129 cannot be a perfect cube, as its prime factors are not grouped to the power of three. The approximate value of the cube root of 129 is 5.05277....
 

Important Glossaries for Factors of 129
