How to Find the Factors of 244?

To find the factors of 244, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 244 without leaving any remainder.

• 244/1 = 244; therefore, 1 is a factor of 244.
• 244/4 = 61; therefore, 4 is a factor of 244.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 244 are 1, 2, 4, 61, 122, 244.

• Factors of 144 - The factors of 144 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
• Factors of 23 - The factors of 23 are 1, 23
• Factors of 8 - The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8

The number 244 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 244. The first step is to divide the number 244 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 244 ÷ 2 = 122
• 122 ÷ 2 = 61

Further dividing 61 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 61 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 244 can be written as 2² × 61¹ where 2, 61 are prime.

Pair factors of 244 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 244. The factors of 244 in pairs are:

• 1 × 244 = (1, 244)
• 2 × 122 = (2, 122)
• 4 × 61 = (4, 61)

Negative pair factors of 244 are:

• -1 × -244 = (-1, -244)
• -2 × -122 = (-2, -122)
• -4 × -61 = (-4, -61)

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