How to Find the Factors of 262?

To find the factors of 262, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 262 without leaving any remainder.

• 262/2 = 131; therefore, 2 is a factor of 262 and 131 is also a factor of 262.
• 262/262 = 1; therefore, 262 is a factor of 262 and 1 is also a factor of 262.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 262 are 1, 2, 131, 262.

• Factors of 54 - The factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
• Factors of 44 - The factors of 44 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
• Factors of 30 - The factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

The number 262 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 262. The first step is to divide the number 262 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 262 ÷ 2 = 131

Further dividing 131 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 131 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 262 can be written as 2¹ × 131¹ where 2, 131 are prime.

Pair factors of 262 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 262. The factors of 262 in pairs are:

• 1 × 262 = (1, 262)
• 2 × 131 = (2, 131)

Negative pair factors of 262 are:

• -1 × -262 = (-1, -262)
• -2 × -131 = (-2, -131)

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