How to Find the Factors of 488?

To find the factors of 488, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 488 without leaving any remainder.

• 488/488 = 1; therefore, 488 is a factor of 488.
• 488/61 = 8; therefore, 61 is a factor of 488.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 488 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488.

• Factors of 42 - The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
• Factors of 25 - The factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25
• Factors of 4 - The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4
• Factors of 121 - The factors of 121 are 1, 11, 121
• Factors of 66 - The factors of 66 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66

The number 488 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 488. The first step is to divide the number 488 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 488 ÷ 2 = 244
• 244 ÷ 2 = 122
• 122 ÷ 2 = 61

Further dividing 61 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 61 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 488 can be written as 2³ × 61¹ where 2, 61 are prime.

Pair factors of 488 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 488. The factors of 488 in pairs are:

• 1 × 488 = (1, 488)
• 2 × 244 = (2, 244)
• 4 × 122 = (4, 122)
• 8 × 61 = (8, 61)

Negative pair factors of 488 are:

• -1 × -488 = (-1, -488)
• -2 × -244 = (-2, -244)
• -4 × -122 = (-4, -122)
• -8 × -61 = (-8, -61)

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