• 559 ÷ 3 = 186.333 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 4 = 139.75 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 5 = 111.8 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 6 = 93.167 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 7 = 79.857 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 8 = 69.875 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 9 = 62.111 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 10 = 55.9 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 11 = 50.818 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 12 = 46.583 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 13 = 43 — so 13 and 43 are factors
• 559 ÷ 14 = 39.929 — not a whole number
• 559 ÷ 15 = 37.267 — not a whole number
