How to Find the Factors of 472?

To find the factors of 472, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 472 without leaving any remainder.

• 472/8 = 59; therefore, 8 is a factor of 472 and 59 is also a factor of 472.
• 472/4 = 118; therefore, 4 is a factor of 472 and 118 is also a factor of 472.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 472 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472.

• Factors of 29 - The factors of 29 are 1, 29
• Factors of 41 - The factors of 41 are 1, 41
• Factors of 23 - The factors of 23 are 1, 23
• Factors of 49 - The factors of 49 are 1, 7, 49

The number 472 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 472. The first step is to divide the number 472 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 472 ÷ 2 = 236
• 236 ÷ 2 = 118
• 118 ÷ 2 = 59

Further dividing 59 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 59 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 472 can be written as 2³ × 59¹ where 2, 59 are prime.

Pair factors of 472 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 472. The factors of 472 in pairs are:

• 1 × 472 = (1, 472)
• 2 × 236 = (2, 236)
• 4 × 118 = (4, 118)
• 8 × 59 = (8, 59)

Negative pair factors of 472 are:

• -1 × -472 = (-1, -472)
• -2 × -236 = (-2, -236)
• -4 × -118 = (-4, -118)
• -8 × -59 = (-8, -59)

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