How to Find the Factors of 498?

To find the factors of 498, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 498 without leaving any remainder.

• 498/166 = 3; therefore, 166 is a factor of 498 and 3 is also a factor of 498.
• 498/83 = 6; therefore, 83 is a factor of 498 and 6 is also a factor of 498.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 498 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 83, 166, 249, 498.

• Factors of 17 - The factors of 17 are 1, 17
• 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

The number 498 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 498. The first step is to divide the number 498 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 498 ÷ 2 = 249

Further dividing 249 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 249 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 498 can be written as 2¹ × 3¹ × 83¹ where 2, 3, 83 are prime.

Pair factors of 498 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 498. The factors of 498 in pairs are:

• 1 × 498 = (1, 498)
• 2 × 249 = (2, 249)
• 3 × 166 = (3, 166)
• 6 × 83 = (6, 83)

Negative pair factors of 498 are:

• -1 × -498 = (-1, -498)
• -2 × -249 = (-2, -249)
• -3 × -166 = (-3, -166)
• -6 × -83 = (-6, -83)

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