How to Find the Factors of 426?

To find the factors of 426, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 426 without leaving any remainder.

• 426/213 = 2; therefore, 213 is a factor of 426 and 2 is also a factor of 426.
• 426/3 = 142; therefore, 3 is a factor of 426 and 142 is also a factor of 426.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 426 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426.

• Factors of 19 - The factors of 19 are 1, 19
• Factors of 42 - The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
• Factors of 128 - The factors of 128 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
• Factors of 17 - The factors of 17 are 1, 17

The number 426 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 426. The first step is to divide the number 426 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 426 ÷ 2 = 213

Further dividing 213 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 213 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 426 can be written as 2¹ × 3¹ × 71¹ where 2, 3, 71 are prime.

Pair factors of 426 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 426. The factors of 426 in pairs are:

• 1 × 426 = (1, 426)
• 2 × 213 = (2, 213)
• 3 × 142 = (3, 142)
• 6 × 71 = (6, 71)

Negative pair factors of 426 are:

• -1 × -426 = (-1, -426)
• -2 × -213 = (-2, -213)
• -3 × -142 = (-3, -142)
• -6 × -71 = (-6, -71)

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