How to Find the Factors of 388?

To find the factors of 388, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 388 without leaving any remainder.

• 388/194 = 2; therefore, 194 is a factor of 388 and 2 is also a factor of 388.
• 388/97 = 4; therefore, 97 is a factor of 388 and 4 is also a factor of 388.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 388 are 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388.

• Factors of 42 - The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
• Factors of 35 - The factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35
• Factors of 38 - The factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, 38

The number 388 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 388. The first step is to divide the number 388 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 388 ÷ 2 = 194
• 194 ÷ 2 = 97

Further dividing 97 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 97 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 388 can be written as 2² × 97¹ where 2, 97 are prime.

Pair factors of 388 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 388. The factors of 388 in pairs are:

• 1 × 388 = (1, 388)
• 2 × 194 = (2, 194)
• 4 × 97 = (4, 97)

Negative pair factors of 388 are:

• -1 × -388 = (-1, -388)
• -2 × -194 = (-2, -194)
• -4 × -97 = (-4, -97)

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