How to Find the Factors of 142?

To find the factors of 142, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 142 without leaving any remainder.

• 142/2 = 71; therefore, 2 is a factor of 142 and 71 is also a factor of 142.
• 142/1 = 142; therefore, 1 is a factor of 142 and 142 is also a factor of 142.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 142 are 1, 2, 71, 142.

• Factors of 22 - The factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, 22
• Factors of 44 - The factors of 44 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
• Factors of 6 - The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6
• Factors of 39 - The factors of 39 are 1, 3, 13, 39

The number 142 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 142. The first step is to divide the number 142 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 142 ÷ 2 = 71

Further dividing 71 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 71 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 142 can be written as 2¹ × 71¹ where 2, 71 are prime.

Pair factors of 142 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 142. The factors of 142 in pairs are:

• 1 × 142 = (1, 142)
• 2 × 71 = (2, 71)

Negative pair factors of 142 are:

• -1 × -142 = (-1, -142)
• -2 × -71 = (-2, -71)

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