Factors of 210

Did you know that 210 is the only number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 7 (except 4) without leaving any remainder? Try it yourself. In fact, you may discover that if you multiply the three consecutive numbers 5, 6, and 7, it will also give 210 as the answer!
In this lesson, we will calculate the factors of 210, prime factors of 210, and factors of 210 in pairs along with solved examples for a better understanding.

• Factors of 210: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 30, 35, 42, 70, 105 and 210
• Prime Factorization of 210: 210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 

What Are the Factors of 210?

Factors of 210 will be those numbers that exactly divide it and give the remainder as 0. For instance, when you multiply any two whole numbers with each other and get 210 as the answer, you can say that those two numbers will be the factors of 210. For example, you can get 210 as the result for: 

• 1 × 210 = 210 
• 2 × 105 = 210
• 3 × 70 = 210 
• 5 × 42 = 210
• 6 × 35 = 210 
• 7 × 30 = 210 
• 10 × 21 = 210 
• 14 × 15 = 210

This can be continued until you reach 210 × 1 = 210. Thus, in general, we can say that the factors of 210 are all the integers that 210 can be divided into.

How to Calculate the Factors of 210?

Let's begin calculating the factors of 210, starting with the smallest whole number i.e. 1. Divide 210 with this number. Is the remainder 0? Yes! So, we will get:

• 210 ÷ 1 = 210
• 210 × 1 = 210

The next whole number is 2. Now divide 210 with this number.

• 210 ÷ 2 = 105
• 2 × 105 = 210

Proceeding in a similar manner we get,

• 1 × 210 = 210
• 2 ×105 = 210
• 3 × 70 = 210
• 5 × 42 = 210

Factors of 210 by Prime Factorization

Prime factorization means to express a composite number as the product of its prime factors. To get the prime factorization of 210, we will divide it by its smallest prime factor which is 2.

• 210 ÷ 2 = 105

Now, 105 is divided by its smallest prime factor and the quotient is obtained. This process goes on till we get the quotient as 1. The prime factorization of 210 is shown below.

Now that we have done the prime factorization of our number, we can multiply the numbers and get the other factors of 210. Can you try and find out if all the factors are covered or not? And as you might have already guessed, for prime numbers, there are no other factors.

Factors of 210 in Pairs

The pairs of numbers which give 210 when multiplied are known as the factor pairs of 210. The following are the factors of 210 in pairs:

Observe in the table above, after 14 × 15, the factors start repeating, except that they are in a different order. Thus, it is enough to find factors till (14,15).

• If we consider negative integers, then both the numbers in the pair factors have to be negative. 
• We know that - ve (×) - ve = +ve.
• Thus, we can have factor pairs of 210 as (-1,-210); (-2,-105); (-3,-70). and so on.

Important Notes:

• Factors of 210 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 30, 35, 42, 70, 105, and 210.
• 1 is a universal factor.
• The two numbers that are multiplied to give a product are the factors of the product.
• As 210 ends with digit 0, it will have 5 and 10 as its factors. This holds true for any number that ends with digit 0.
• 210 is a non-perfect square number. Thus, it will have an even number of factors. This property holds true for every non-perfect square number.
