How to Find the Factors of 246?

To find the factors of 246, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 246 without leaving any remainder.

• 246/2 = 123; therefore, 2 is a factor of 246 and 123 is also a factor of 246.
• 246/6 = 41; therefore, 6 is a factor of 246 and 41 is also a factor of 246.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 246 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246.

• Factors of 91 - The factors of 91 are 1, 7, 13, 91
• Factors of 65 - The factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, 65
• Factors of 98 - The factors of 98 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98

The number 246 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 246. The first step is to divide the number 246 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 246 ÷ 2 = 123

Further dividing 123 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 123 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 246 can be written as 2¹ × 3¹ × 41¹ where 2, 3, 41 are prime.

Pair factors of 246 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 246. The factors of 246 in pairs are:

• 1 × 246 = (1, 246)
• 2 × 123 = (2, 123)
• 3 × 82 = (3, 82)
• 6 × 41 = (6, 41)

Negative pair factors of 246 are:

• -1 × -246 = (-1, -246)
• -2 × -123 = (-2, -123)
• -3 × -82 = (-3, -82)
• -6 × -41 = (-6, -41)

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