What are the Factors of 159?

The following are the different types of factors of 159:

• Factors of 159: 1, 3, 53, 159

• Negative Factors of 159: -1, -3, -53, -159

• Prime Factors of 159: 3, 53

• Prime Factorization of 159: $3^1\times53^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 159, start by dividing the numbers by the smallest prime number, which is 2. If the number is not divisible by 2, proceed to the next prime number, such as 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and continue this process until you reach 1.

Step 1: 159 ÷ 3 = 53
Step 2: 53 ÷ 53 = 1

In step 2, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 159: $3\times53$

• Prime Factorization of 159: $3^1\times53^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 3, 53, 159

Calculating all the factors:
3 = 1 x 3
53 = 1 x 53
159 = 1 x 159

Finally Factors of 159 = 1, 3, 53, 159
