Factors of 343

If a cube has 7 units as its dimension of its sides, then its volume of the cube is length × width × height = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343. Thus, we observe that 7 is a cube root of 343.  In this lesson, we will calculate the factors of 343, prime factors of 343, and factors of 343 in pairs along with solved examples for a better understanding.

• Factors of 343: 1, 7, 49 and 343.
• Prime Factorization of 343: 7 × 7 × 7

Let's learn how to calculate factors of 343.

• 1 is the factor of every number and the number itself is its factor. Thus we determine them as factors of 343.
• Find the number that completely divides 343. As 343 is not even, it is not divisible by any even number. 
• Try the divisibility tests with 3, 5 and 10. It is not divisible by them.
• Check the divisibility with 7. 343 ÷ 7 = 49.
• We can stop here as 49 could be the only another factor. 343 ÷ 49 = 7
• Thus we determine the factors of 343 as 1× 343 and 7 × 49.
• This can be verified using the factor tree as well. The factor tree shows that 343 =  7 × 7 × 7. On getting the prime factors, we can determine all the possible composite factors of 343.

• Factors of 175: The factors of 175 are 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, 175.
• Factors of 49:  The factors of 49 are 1, 7, and 49.
• Factors of 216: The factors of 216 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108 and 216
• Factors of 112: The factors of 112 are  1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, and 112.

• Find the smallest prime number by which 343 can be divided without leaving any remainder.
• We see that 343 is divisible by 7.
• We can express 343  as 49 × 7.
• Again 49 can further be factorized as 7 × 7
• Therefore, prime factorization of 35 is 7 × 7 × 7 = 7 ³
• Add 1 to the exponent thus obtained. Here the exponent is 3 and we conclude that there are 4 factors of 343 in all.

The pair of numbers w multipled together gets the number 343 give the factors of 343 in pairs. 1 × 343, 7 × 49, 49 × 7 and 343 × 1 give the factors of 343 in pairs. The pair factors of 343 are:

• (1, 343)
• (7, 49)
• (49, 7)
• (343, 1)

• 343 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 7³. 343 is a perfect cube.
• 7 is the prime factor of 343.
• 1, 7, 49 and 343 are the distinct prime factors of 343.

• Find the 2 numbers that lie between 300 & 400 whose greatest common divisor is 49.
• Find the smallest integer n such that 49n becomes a cube number.
