What are Factors of 62?
Before we start, let us first recall the definition of factor. A factor is a number that divides another number equally without leaving any remainder. The factors of 62 are 1, 2, 31, and 62.
How do we know that these are the factors of 62? Let us discuss this in the following section.
How to Calculate the Factors of 62?
The factors of 62 can be calculated in two ways.
- Division method
- Prime Factorization method
Factors of 62 By division method
To get the factors of 62, first we divide it by the number 1
- 62 ÷ 1 = 62
- 62 × 1 = 62
Is the remainder zero? Yes! Next, we try with number 2:
- 62 ÷ 2 = 31
- 31 × 2 = 62
The number 2 divides 62 completely, without leaving any remainder. In the same way, the numbers which divide 62 completely are considered to be the factors of 62. The numbers 1, 2, 31, and 62 divide the number 62 completely.
Therefore, the factors of 62 are 1, 2, 31, and 62. Explore factors using illustrations and interactive examples:
- Factors of 63 - The factors of 63 are 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, and 63.
- Factors of 625 - The factors of 625 are 1, 5, 25, and 125.
- Factors of 162 - The factors of 162 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, and 81.
- Factors of 64 - The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64.
- Factors of 65 - The factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, and 65.
- Factors of 48 - The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.
Factors of 62 By Prime Factorization
Prime factorization is a process of breaking down the composite number into the product of its prime factors. The process of prime factorization continues till we get quotient 1. We start dividing the number 62 with its smallest prime factor, which is 2.
Therefore, the prime factors of 62 can be written as follows: 62 = 2 × 31.
Challenging Question:
- What are the common prime factors of 62 and 26?
- Can you list the negative factors of 62?
Factors of 62 in Pairs
A pair of numbers, which gives 62 when multiplied together, is called the pair factor of 62
- 1 × 62 = 62
- 2 × 31 = 62
Therefore, the pair factors of 62 are (1, 62) and (2, 31). A number can have negative factors as well, because their product gives a positive number.
Hence, the negative pair factors of 62 are (-1, -62) and (-2, -31)
