What Are Factors of 117?
Factors of 117 will be those numbers that exactly divide it and give a remainder as 0. This means that the two whole numbers whose product is 117 are the factors of 117. For example, you can get 117 as an answer as:
- 1×117=117
- 9×13=117
- 13×9=117
- 3×39=117
- 117×1=117
How to Calculate Factors of 117?
Let's begin calculating the factors of 117, starting with the smallest whole number i.e. 1. On dividing 117 with this number, do we get the remainder 0?
Yes! So, we will get
- 117÷1=117
- 117×1=117
Since 117 is an odd number, 2 cannot be a factor. The next whole number to be checked is 3
Now divide 117 with this number.
117÷3 = 39 ⇒ 3 × 39 = 117
Proceeding in a similar manner we get,
117 = 1×117 = 3 × 39 = 9 × 13
Hence, the factors of 117 are 1, 3, 9, 13, 39 and 117.

Important Notes
- While finding factors of any number, we consider only whole numbers and integers.
- Decimal numbers and fractions are not considered as factors of a number.
- All even number definitely have 2 as its factor.
Factors of 117 by Prime Factorization
"Prime factorization means to express a composite number as the product of its prime factors". To get the prime factorization of 117, we divide it by its smallest prime factor which is 2 then 3, 5 so on and factor and the quotient are obtained. This process goes on till we get the quotient as 1
The prime factorization of 117 is shown below:
A factor tree shows all the factors of a given number and all the factors of the other composite factors of the original number. Have a look at the factor tree of 117 here.
Factors of 117 in Pairs
The pair of numbers which gives 117 when multiplied are known as factor pairs of 117 Following are the factors of 117 in pairs.
| Product form of 117 | Pair factor |
| 1 × 117 = 117 | (1, 117) |
| 3 × 39 = 39 × 3 = 117 | (3, 39) |
| 9 × 13 = 13 × 9 = 117 | (9, 13) |
Observe in the table above, after 9 × 13, the factors start repeating accept the order. So, it is enough to find factors till (9,13). If we consider negative integers, then both the numbers in the pair factors will be negative.
117 is positive and as we know - ve × - ve = +ve.
