1. Steps to find factors of 429 using Division Method

Example: Find factors of 429

  • Divide 429 by 1: 429 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 3: 429 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 11: 429 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 13: 429 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 33: 429 ÷ 33 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 39: 429 ÷ 39 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 143: 429 ÷ 143 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 429 by 429: 429 ÷ 429 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 429 are 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, and 429

2. Steps to find factors of 429 using Prime Factorization

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.

There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 429 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 429 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
  • Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 429, which is 3. Divide 429 by 3 to obtain the quotient (143).
    429 ÷ 3 = 143
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (143).
    143 ÷ 11 = 13
    13 ÷ 13 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 429 is, 429 = 3 x 11 x 13.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 429 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 429 is, 429 = 3 x 11 x 13.

3. Find factors of 429 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 429 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 429 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 429 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 429 1 x 429 = 429
3 and 143 3 x 143 = 429
11 and 39 11 x 39 = 429
13 and 33 13 x 33 = 429

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 429. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 429 would be ( -1 , -429 ) , ( -3 , -143 ) , ( -11 , -39 ) and ( -13 , -33 ) .

How can we define factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive of negative.

Properties of factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429 are exact divisors of 429.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 429 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 429.
