Factors of 71

Factors of 71 are the list of positive and negative whole numbers that can be divided evenly into 71. Negative factors of 71 are just factors with a negative sign. Like all prime numbers, 71 has only two factors - itself and 1. In this lesson, we are going to learn about the factors of 71, its prime factors and its factors in pairs. We are also going to solve examples that will help in better understanding.

• Factors of 71: 1 and 71
• Factors of -71: -1 and -71
• Prime Factorization of 71: 71

Factors of a number 'n', are the numbers that completely divide it. It means that if the remainder in n/a is zero, then 'a' is the factor of 'n'. Let us find the factors of the number 71. Observe that:

• The positive numbers 1 and 71, divide 71 completely.
• The negative numbers -1, -71, divide 71 completely as well.

• Factors of a number can be calculated by different methods.
• One of the methods is by dividing the number with the smallest prime number, which divides it completely, without any remainder.
• Since 71 is a prime number, it has only two factors, 1 and 71.

The factors of 71 are 1 and 71. Explore factors using illustrations and interactive examples:

• Factors of 72: The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72.
• Factors of 180: The factors of 180 are 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10,12,15,18, 20, 30, 36, 45, 60, 90 and 180
• Factors of 19: The factors of 19 are 1 and 19.
• Factors of 110: The factors of 110 are 1, 2, 5, 10,11, and 110.
• Factors of 196: The factors of 196 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98 and196.

Prime Factorization is to express a composite number as the product of its prime factors. We know that 71 = 1 × 71. Thus the prime factorization of 71 is only 71.

The pair factors of 71 include a set of two numbers, which when multiplied together, give 71.

• 1 × 71 = 71.The positive pair factor of 71 is: (1, 71)
• -1 × -71 = 71. The negative pair factor of 71 is: (-1, -71)

• If a number has an odd number of factors, it is a perfect square.
• A number always has at least two factors, 1 and the number itself.
• The numbers that have more than 2 factors are called composite numbers.
• 2 is the smallest prime number.

What are the Factors of 71?
