How to Find the Factors of 260?

To find the factors of 260, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 260 without leaving any remainder.

• 260/5 = 52; therefore, 5 is a factor of 260 and 52 is also a factor of 260.
• 260/26 = 10; therefore, 26 is a factor of 260 and 10 is also a factor of 260.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 260 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260.

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

The number 260 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 260. The first step is to divide the number 260 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 260 ÷ 2 = 130
• 130 ÷ 2 = 65

Further dividing 65 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 65 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 260 can be written as 2² × 5¹ × 13¹ where 2, 5, 13 are prime.

Pair factors of 260 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 260. The factors of 260 in pairs are:

• 1 × 260 = (1, 260)
• 2 × 130 = (2, 130)
• 4 × 65 = (4, 65)
• 5 × 52 = (5, 52)
• 10 × 26 = (10, 26)
• 13 × 20 = (13, 20)

Negative pair factors of 260 are:

• -1 × -260 = (-1, -260)
• -2 × -130 = (-2, -130)
• -4 × -65 = (-4, -65)
• -5 × -52 = (-5, -52)
• -10 × -26 = (-10, -26)
• -13 × -20 = (-13, -20)

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