How to Find the Factors of 254?

To find the factors of 254, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 254 without leaving any remainder.

• 254/2 = 127; therefore, 2 is a factor of 254 and 127 is also a factor of 254.
• 254/1 = 254; therefore, 1 is a factor of 254 and 254 is also a factor of 254.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 254 are 1, 2, 127, 254.

• Factors of 125 - The factors of 125 are 1, 5, 25, 125

The number 254 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 254. The first step is to divide the number 254 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 254 ÷ 2 = 127

Further dividing 127 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 127 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 254 can be written as 2¹ × 127¹ where 2, 127 are prime.

Pair factors of 254 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 254. The factors of 254 in pairs are:

• 1 × 254 = (1, 254)
• 2 × 127 = (2, 127)

Negative pair factors of 254 are:

• -1 × -254 = (-1, -254)
• -2 × -127 = (-2, -127)

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