What are Factors of 891?
Factors of 891 are pairs of those numbers whose products result in 891. These factors are either prime numbers or composite numbers.
How to Find the Factors of 891?
To find the factors of 891, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 891 without leaving any remainder.
- 891/33 = 27; therefore, 33 is a factor of 891 and 27 is also a factor of 891.
- 891/11 = 81; therefore, 11 is a factor of 891 and 81 is also a factor of 891.

Factors of 891 by Prime Factorization
- 891 ÷ 3 = 297
- 297 ÷ 3 = 99
- 99 ÷ 3 = 33
- 33 ÷ 3 = 11
Further dividing 11 by 3 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 11 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 891 can be written as 34 × 111 where 3, 11 are prime.
Factors of 891 in Pairs
Pair factors of 891 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 891. The factors of 891 in pairs are:
- 1 × 891 = (1, 891)
- 3 × 297 = (3, 297)
- 9 × 99 = (9, 99)
- 11 × 81 = (11, 81)
- 27 × 33 = (27, 33)
Negative pair factors of 891 are:
- -1 × -891 = (-1, -891)
- -3 × -297 = (-3, -297)
- -9 × -99 = (-9, -99)
- -11 × -81 = (-11, -81)
- -27 × -33 = (-27, -33)
NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.
Factors of 891 Solved Examples

Example 1: How many factors are there for 891?
Solution:
The factors of 891 are too many, therefore if we can find the prime factorization of 891, then the total number of factors can be calculated using the formula shown below.
If the prime factorization of the number is ax × by × cz where a, b, c are prime, then the total number of factors can be given by (x + 1)(y + 1)(z + 1).
Prime Factorization of 891 = 34 × 111
Therefore, the total number of factors are (4 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 5 × 2 = 10 -
Example 2: Find the LCM and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 891 and 39.
Solution:

Therefore, the LCM of 891 and 39 is 11583 and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 891 and 39 is 3. -
Example 3: Find if 1, 3, 9, 27, 33 and 880 are factors of 891.
Solution:
When we divide 891 by 880 it leaves a remainder. Therefore, the number 880 is not a factor of 891. All numbers except 880 are factors of 891.
-
Example 4: Find the product of all the prime factors of 891.
Solution:
Since, the prime factors of 891 are 3, 11. Therefore, the product of prime factors = 3 × 11 = 33.
