How to Find the Factors of 230?

To find the factors of 230, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 230 without leaving any remainder.

• 230/115 = 2; therefore, 115 is a factor of 230 and 2 is also a factor of 230.
• 230/46 = 5; therefore, 46 is a factor of 230 and 5 is also a factor of 230.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 230 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 23, 46, 115, 230.

• Factors of 72 - The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
• Factors of 9 - The factors of 9 are 1, 3, 9

The number 230 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 230. The first step is to divide the number 230 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 230 ÷ 2 = 115

Further dividing 115 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 115 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 230 can be written as 2¹ × 5¹ × 23¹ where 2, 5, 23 are prime.

Pair factors of 230 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 230. The factors of 230 in pairs are:

• 1 × 230 = (1, 230)
• 2 × 115 = (2, 115)
• 5 × 46 = (5, 46)
• 10 × 23 = (10, 23)

Negative pair factors of 230 are:

• -1 × -230 = (-1, -230)
• -2 × -115 = (-2, -115)
• -5 × -46 = (-5, -46)
• -10 × -23 = (-10, -23)

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