Factors of 78

Factors of 78 are the numbers which, when multiplied in pairs, give the product as 78. These factors can be negative as well. In this lesson, we will calculate the factors of 78, prime factors of 78, and factors of 78 in pairs along with solved examples for a better understanding.

• Factors of 78: 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, and 78
• Prime Factorization of 78: 78 = 2 × 3 × 13

What Are the Factors of 78?

Factors of 78 are those numbers that exactly divide it and give the remainder as 0.
For example, 78 ÷ 1 = 78
You get 78 as a quotient and 0 as the remainder. This means that 78 is divisible by 1.
Other factors of 78 are:

• 78÷2=39
• 78÷3=26
• 78÷6=13

How to Calculate the Factors of 78?

We can use different methods to find factors of 78 such as prime factorization and the division method.
In the prime factorization method, we express 78 as a product of its prime factors and in the division method, we see what numbers divide 78 exactly without leaving any remainder.

Factors of 78 by Division Method

These divisions show that the number 78 is exactly divisible by 2, 3, and 6.
Hence, factors of 78 by division method are:

Factors of 78 by Prime Factorization Method

The factors of 78 can be represented by a factor tree method as:

The factors of 78 can be represented by the upside-down division method as:

Here, 2, 3, and 13 are the prime factors of 78.
Now that we have done the prime factorization of our number, we can multiply them and get the other factors.
Can you try and find out if all the factors are covered or not? And as you might have already guessed, for prime numbers, there are no other factors.
