How to Find the Factors of 284?

To find the factors of 284, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 284 without leaving any remainder.

• 284/71 = 4; therefore, 71 is a factor of 284 and 4 is also a factor of 284.
• 284/142 = 2; therefore, 142 is a factor of 284 and 2 is also a factor of 284.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284.

The number 284 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 284. The first step is to divide the number 284 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 284 ÷ 2 = 142
• 142 ÷ 2 = 71

Further dividing 71 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 71 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 284 can be written as 2² × 71¹ where 2, 71 are prime.

Pair factors of 284 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 284. The factors of 284 in pairs are:

• 1 × 284 = (1, 284)
• 2 × 142 = (2, 142)
• 4 × 71 = (4, 71)

Negative pair factors of 284 are:

• -1 × -284 = (-1, -284)
• -2 × -142 = (-2, -142)
• -4 × -71 = (-4, -71)

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