How to Find the Factors of 177?

To find the factors of 177, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 177 without leaving any remainder.

• 177/3 = 59; therefore, 3 is a factor of 177 and 59 is also a factor of 177.
• 177/177 = 1; therefore, 177 is a factor of 177 and 1 is also a factor of 177.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 177 are 1, 3, 59, 177.

• Factors of 54 - The factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
• Factors of 38 - The factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, 38
• Factors of 98 - The factors of 98 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98
• Factors of 40 - The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

The number 177 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 177. The first step is to divide the number 177 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 3. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 177 ÷ 3 = 59

Further dividing 59 by 3 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 177 can be written as 3¹ × 59¹ where 3, 59 are prime.

Pair factors of 177 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 177. The factors of 177 in pairs are:

• 1 × 177 = (1, 177)
• 3 × 59 = (3, 59)

Negative pair factors of 177 are:

• -1 × -177 = (-1, -177)
• -3 × -59 = (-3, -59)

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