How to Find the Factors of 657?

To find the factors of 657, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 657 without leaving any remainder.

• 657/219 = 3; therefore, 219 is a factor of 657 and 3 is also a factor of 657.
• 657/73 = 9; therefore, 73 is a factor of 657 and 9 is also a factor of 657.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 657 are 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, 657.

• Factors of 36 - The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

The number 657 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 657. The first step is to divide the number 657 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 3. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 657 ÷ 3 = 219
• 219 ÷ 3 = 73

Further dividing 73 by 3 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 73 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 657 can be written as 3² × 73¹ where 3, 73 are prime.

Pair factors of 657 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 657. The factors of 657 in pairs are:

• 1 × 657 = (1, 657)
• 3 × 219 = (3, 219)
• 9 × 73 = (9, 73)

Negative pair factors of 657 are:

• -1 × -657 = (-1, -657)
• -3 × -219 = (-3, -219)
• -9 × -73 = (-9, -73)

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