Factors of 179 by Prime Factorization

The number 179 is prime and therefore its factors are only the numbers 1 and 179 itself. Hence, it has only one prime factor that is the number itself, i.e. 179.

So, the prime factorization of 179 can be written as 179¹ where 179 is prime.

Factors of 179 in Pairs

Pair factors of 179 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 179. The factors of 179 in pairs are:

1 × 179 = (1, 179)

Negative pair factors of 179 are:

-1 × -179 = (-1, -179)

NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.

Factors of 179 Solved Examples

Example 1: How many factors are there for 179?

Solution:

The factors of 179 are 1, 179. Therefore, 179 has 2 factors.
Example 2: Find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 179 and 155.

Solution:

The factors of 179 are 1, 179 and factors of 155 are 1, 5, 31, 155.

Therefore, the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of 179 and 155 is 27745 and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 179 and 155 is 1.
Example 3: Find if 1 and 6 are factors of 179.

Solution:

When we divide 179 by 6 it leaves a remainder. Therefore, the number 6 is not a factor of 179. All numbers except 6 are factors of 179.
Example 4: Find the product of all the factors of 179.

Solution:

Since, the factors of 179 are 1, 179. Therefore, the product of factors = 1 × 179 = 179.
