To find all the divisors of the number 160,590:
- 1. Decompose the number into prime factors.
- See how you can find out how many factors (divisors) the number has, without actually calculating them.
- 2. Multiply the prime factors in all their unique combinations, that yield different results.
1. Carry out the prime factorization of the number 160,590:
The prime factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.
160,590 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 53 × 101
160,590 is not a prime number but a composite one.
- Prime number: a natural number that is divisible (divided evenly) only by 1 and itself. A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and the number itself.
- Examples of prime numbers: 2 (factors 1, 2), 3 (factors 1, 3), 5 (factors 1, 5), 7 (factors 1, 7), 11 (factors 1, 11), 13 (factors 1, 13), ...
- Composite number: a natural number that has at least one factor other than 1 and itself. So it is neither a prime number nor 1.
- Examples of composite numbers: 4 (it has 3 factors: 1, 2, 4), 6 (it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 3, 6), 8 (it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 4, 8), 9 (it has 3 factors: 1, 3, 9), 10 (it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 5, 10), 12 (it has 6 factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12), ...
How to count the number of factors of a number?
Without actually finding the factors
- If a number N is prime factorized as:
N = am × bk × cz
where a, b, c are the prime factors and m, k, z are their exponents, natural numbers, .... - ...
- Then the number of factors of the number N can be calculated as:
n = (m + 1) × (k + 1) × (z + 1) - ...
- In our case, the number of factors is calculated as:
- n = (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32
But to actually calculate the factors, see below...
2. Multiply the prime factors of the number 160,590
