How to Find the Factors of 492?

To find the factors of 492, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 492 without leaving any remainder.

• 492/123 = 4; therefore, 123 is a factor of 492 and 4 is also a factor of 492.
• 492/6 = 82; therefore, 6 is a factor of 492 and 82 is also a factor of 492.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 492 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492.

The number 492 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 492. The first step is to divide the number 492 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 492 ÷ 2 = 246
• 246 ÷ 2 = 123

Further dividing 123 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 123 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 492 can be written as 2² × 3¹ × 41¹ where 2, 3, 41 are prime.

Pair factors of 492 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 492. The factors of 492 in pairs are:

• 1 × 492 = (1, 492)
• 2 × 246 = (2, 246)
• 3 × 164 = (3, 164)
• 4 × 123 = (4, 123)
• 6 × 82 = (6, 82)
• 12 × 41 = (12, 41)

Negative pair factors of 492 are:

• -1 × -492 = (-1, -492)
• -2 × -246 = (-2, -246)
• -3 × -164 = (-3, -164)
• -4 × -123 = (-4, -123)
• -6 × -82 = (-6, -82)
• -12 × -41 = (-12, -41)

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