How to Find the Factors of 474?

To find the factors of 474, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 474 without leaving any remainder.

• 474/158 = 3; therefore, 158 is a factor of 474 and 3 is also a factor of 474.
• 474/79 = 6; therefore, 79 is a factor of 474 and 6 is also a factor of 474.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 474 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474.

• Factors of 4 - The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4
• Factors of 20 - The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
• Factors of 50 - The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The number 474 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 474. The first step is to divide the number 474 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 474 ÷ 2 = 237

Further dividing 237 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 237 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 474 can be written as 2¹ × 3¹ × 79¹ where 2, 3, 79 are prime.

Pair factors of 474 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 474. The factors of 474 in pairs are:

• 1 × 474 = (1, 474)
• 2 × 237 = (2, 237)
• 3 × 158 = (3, 158)
• 6 × 79 = (6, 79)

Negative pair factors of 474 are:

• -1 × -474 = (-1, -474)
• -2 × -237 = (-2, -237)
• -3 × -158 = (-3, -158)
• -6 × -79 = (-6, -79)

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