Factors of 508 are pairs of those numbers whose products result in 508. These factors are either prime numbers or composite numbers.

How to Find the Factors of 508?

To find the factors of 508, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 508 without leaving any remainder.

• 508/508 = 1; therefore, 508 is a factor of 508.
• 508/4 = 127; therefore, 4 is a factor of 508.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 508 are 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508.

• Factors of 12 - The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
• Factors of 41 - The factors of 41 are 1, 41
• Factors of 56 - The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
• Factors of 99 - The factors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 99

The number 508 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 508. The first step is to divide the number 508 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 508 ÷ 2 = 254
• 254 ÷ 2 = 127

Further dividing 127 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 127 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 508 can be written as 2² × 127¹ where 2, 127 are prime.

Pair factors of 508 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 508. The factors of 508 in pairs are:

• 1 × 508 = (1, 508)
• 2 × 254 = (2, 254)
• 4 × 127 = (4, 127)

Negative pair factors of 508 are:

• -1 × -508 = (-1, -508)
• -2 × -254 = (-2, -254)
• -4 × -127 = (-4, -127)

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