<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>All numbers are divisible by 1 and itself.</p>
25
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>All numbers are divisible by 1 and itself.</p>
26
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 459 by 2. It is not divisible by 2, so 2 is not a factor of 459.</p>
26
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 459 by 2. It is not divisible by 2, so 2 is not a factor of 459.</p>
27
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 459 by 3. It is divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor of 459.</p>
27
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 459 by 3. It is divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor of 459.</p>
28
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>You can simplify checking divisors up to 459 by finding the root value. We then need to only check divisors up to the root value.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>You can simplify checking divisors up to 459 by finding the root value. We then need to only check divisors up to the root value.</p>
29
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>When we divide 459 by numbers like 3, 9, and 17, it is divisible by 3 and 9. Since 459 has more than 2 divisors, it is a composite number.</p>

<p><strong>Divisibility by 5:</strong>The unit’s place digit is 9. Therefore, 459 is not divisible by 5.</p>
35
<p><strong>Divisibility by 5:</strong>The unit’s place digit is 9. Therefore, 459 is not divisible by 5.</p>
37
<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>Double the last digit (9 × 2 = 18). Subtract it from the rest of the number (45 - 18 = 27). Since 27 is not divisible by 7, 459 is not divisible by 7.</p>

<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>Double the last digit (9 × 2 = 18). Subtract it from the rest of the number (45 - 18 = 27). Since 27 is not divisible by 7, 459 is not divisible by 7.</p>
38
<p><strong>Divisibility by 11:</strong>The alternating sum of the digits is 4 - 5 + 9 = 8, which is not divisible by 11. Since 459 is divisible by 3, it has more than two factors.</p>
