How to Find the Factors of 489?

To find the factors of 489, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 489 without leaving any remainder.

• 489/163 = 3; therefore, 163 is a factor of 489 and 3 is also a factor of 489.
• 489/1 = 489; therefore, 1 is a factor of 489 and 489 is also a factor of 489.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 489 are 1, 3, 163, 489.

• Factors of 14 - The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, 14
• Factors of 27 - The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, 27
• Factors of 9 - The factors of 9 are 1, 3, 9
• Factors of 121 - The factors of 121 are 1, 11, 121

The number 489 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 489. The first step is to divide the number 489 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 3. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 489 ÷ 3 = 163

Further dividing 163 by 3 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 163 by the next smallest prime factor. We stop ultimately if the next prime factor doesn't exist or when we can't divide any further.

So, the prime factorization of 489 can be written as 3¹ × 163¹ where 3, 163 are prime.

Pair factors of 489 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 489. The factors of 489 in pairs are:

• 1 × 489 = (1, 489)
• 3 × 163 = (3, 163)

Negative pair factors of 489 are:

• -1 × -489 = (-1, -489)
• -3 × -163 = (-3, -163)

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