How to Find the Factors of 118?

To find the factors of 118, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 118 without leaving any remainder.

• 118/2 = 59; therefore, 2 is a factor of 118 and 59 is also a factor of 118.
• 118/118 = 1; therefore, 118 is a factor of 118 and 1 is also a factor of 118.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 118 are 1, 2, 59, 118.

• Factors of 51 - The factors of 51 are 1, 3, 17, 51
• Factors of 7 - The factors of 7 are 1, 7
• Factors of 27 - The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, 27
• Factors of 17 - The factors of 17 are 1, 17

The number 118 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 118. The first step is to divide the number 118 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 118 ÷ 2 = 59

Further dividing 59 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 59 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 118 can be written as 2¹ × 59¹ where 2, 59 are prime.

Pair factors of 118 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 118. The factors of 118 in pairs are:

• 1 × 118 = (1, 118)
• 2 × 59 = (2, 59)

Negative pair factors of 118 are:

• -1 × -118 = (-1, -118)
• -2 × -59 = (-2, -59)

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