How to Find the Factors of 537?

To find the factors of 537, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 537 without leaving any remainder.

• 537/179 = 3; therefore, 179 is a factor of 537 and 3 is also a factor of 537.
• 537/537 = 1; therefore, 537 is a factor of 537 and 1 is also a factor of 537.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 537 are 1, 3, 179, 537.

• Factors of 81 - The factors of 81 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
• Factors of 98 - The factors of 98 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98
• Factors of 44 - The factors of 44 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
• Factors of 22 - The factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, 22

The number 537 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 537. The first step is to divide the number 537 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 3. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 537 ÷ 3 = 179

Further dividing 179 by 3 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 179 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 537 can be written as 3¹ × 179¹ where 3, 179 are prime.

Pair factors of 537 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 537. The factors of 537 in pairs are:

• 1 × 537 = (1, 537)
• 3 × 179 = (3, 179)

Negative pair factors of 537 are:

• -1 × -537 = (-1, -537)
• -3 × -179 = (-3, -179)

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