What are the Factors of 279?

The following are the different types of factors of 279:

• Factors of 279: 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279

• Negative Factors of 279: -1, -3, -9, -31, -93, -279

• Prime Factors of 279: 3, 31

• Prime Factorization of 279: $3^2\times31^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 279, 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: 279 ÷ 3 = 93
Step 2: 93 ÷ 3 = 31
Step 3: 31 ÷ 31 = 1

In step 3, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 279: $3\times3\times31$

• Prime Factorization of 279: $3^2\times31^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 3, 3, 31, 93, 279

Calculating all the factors:
3 = 1 x 3
9 = 1 x 3 x 3
31 = 1 x 31
93 = 1 x 93
279 = 1 x 279

Finally Factors of 279 = 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
