How to Find the Factors of 188?

To find the factors of 188, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 188 without leaving any remainder.

• 188/47 = 4; therefore, 47 is a factor of 188 and 4 is also a factor of 188.
• 188/94 = 2; therefore, 94 is a factor of 188 and 2 is also a factor of 188.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 188 are 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188.

• 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 45 - The factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
• Factors of 49 - The factors of 49 are 1, 7, 49

The number 188 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 188. The first step is to divide the number 188 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 188 ÷ 2 = 94
• 94 ÷ 2 = 47

Further dividing 47 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 47 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 188 can be written as 2² × 47¹ where 2, 47 are prime.

Pair factors of 188 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 188. The factors of 188 in pairs are:

• 1 × 188 = (1, 188)
• 2 × 94 = (2, 94)
• 4 × 47 = (4, 47)

Negative pair factors of 188 are:

• -1 × -188 = (-1, -188)
• -2 × -94 = (-2, -94)
• -4 × -47 = (-4, -47)

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