How to Find the Factors of 124?

To find the factors of 124, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 124 without leaving any remainder.

• 124/2 = 62; therefore, 2 is a factor of 124 and 62 is also a factor of 124.
• 124/4 = 31; therefore, 4 is a factor of 124 and 31 is also a factor of 124.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 124 are 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124.

• Factors of 72 - The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
• Factors of 121 - The factors of 121 are 1, 11, 121
• Factors of 50 - The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The number 124 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 124. The first step is to divide the number 124 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 124 ÷ 2 = 62
• 62 ÷ 2 = 31

Further dividing 31 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 31 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 124 can be written as 2² × 31¹ where 2, 31 are prime.

Pair factors of 124 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 124. The factors of 124 in pairs are:

• 1 × 124 = (1, 124)
• 2 × 62 = (2, 62)
• 4 × 31 = (4, 31)

Negative pair factors of 124 are:

• -1 × -124 = (-1, -124)
• -2 × -62 = (-2, -62)
• -4 × -31 = (-4, -31)

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