How to Find the Factors of 316?

To find the factors of 316, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 316 without leaving any remainder.

• 316/316 = 1; therefore, 316 is a factor of 316.
• 316/79 = 4; therefore, 79 is a factor of 316.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 316 are 1, 2, 4, 79, 158, 316.

• Factors of 121 - The factors of 121 are 1, 11, 121
• Factors of 90 - The factors of 90 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90
• Factors of 22 - The factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, 22

The number 316 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 316. The first step is to divide the number 316 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 316 ÷ 2 = 158
• 158 ÷ 2 = 79

Further dividing 79 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 79 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 316 can be written as 2² × 79¹ where 2, 79 are prime.

Pair factors of 316 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 316. The factors of 316 in pairs are:

• 1 × 316 = (1, 316)
• 2 × 158 = (2, 158)
• 4 × 79 = (4, 79)

Negative pair factors of 316 are:

• -1 × -316 = (-1, -316)
• -2 × -158 = (-2, -158)
• -4 × -79 = (-4, -79)

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