What Are the Factors of 34?

Before we learn about factors of 34, let's learn about factors. Factors of 34 are all the numbers which on multiplying give the value 34.

How to Calculate the Factors of 34?

Let's learn how to calculate factors of 34.

• Step 1: Write down the number to be factored, which is 34.
• Step 2: Find the two numbers whose product gives 34.

34 is written as a product of 2 and 17.

2 is a prime number. Hence, it can only be factored as 2 and 1.
17 is a prime number. Hence, it can be factored as 17 and 1.

Hence, the factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, and 34.

• Factors of 17 - The factors of 17 are 1, 17
• Factors of 32 - The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
• Factors of 35 - The factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35
• Factors of 54 - The factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
• Factors of 30 - The factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 
• Factors of 75 - The factors of 75 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75

Tips and Tricks:

1. 1 is the smallest factor of every number. Hence it is a factor of 34.
2. 34 is an even number. Hence 2 is one of its factors.

Factors of 34 by Prime Factorization

Let's learn a bit about prime factorization before we learn how to find the factors of 34.

Let's learn how to find factors using prime factorization.

• Step 1: Write the pair of factors that, on multiplication, give the required number.
• Step 2: Check whether each factor is prime or not.
• Step 3: Follow the below criterion to differentiate between the factorization procedure.

The criterion to differentiate between the procedure of factorization is given as follows:

• If both the numbers are prime, they can be multiplied as is. 
• If one among them is prime and another one is composite, then the composite number is dissociated into its factors.
• If both the numbers are composite, they can be dissociated into factors.

Factors of 34 by prime factorization are given by using the following steps.

• Step 1: Write the pair of factors that, on multiplication, give the required number.

34 can be factored as a product of 2 and 17.

• Step 2: See the factors, whether each one of them is prime or not.

2 is a prime number and can be dissociated as a product of 2 and 1.

17 is a prime number and can be dissociated as a product of 17 and 1.

• Step 3: As per the criterion,

34 can thereby be written as 34 = 2 × 17.

The prime factors of 34 can also be written as 34 = 2 × 17.

Factors of 34 in Pairs

The pair factors of 34 can be given as below:

The factors given above are all positive pair factors.  It is possible to have negative pair factors as well because the product of two negative numbers is a positive number.

Let's have a look at negative pair factors.
