How to Find the Factors of 988?

To find the factors of 988, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 988 without leaving any remainder.

• 988/494 = 2; therefore, 494 is a factor of 988 and 2 is also a factor of 988.
• 988/19 = 52; therefore, 19 is a factor of 988 and 52 is also a factor of 988.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 988 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988.

• Factors of 100 - The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
• Factors of 121 - The factors of 121 are 1, 11, 121
• Factors of 78 - The factors of 78 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 78

The number 988 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 988. The first step is to divide the number 988 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 988 ÷ 2 = 494
• 494 ÷ 2 = 247

Further dividing 247 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 247 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 988 can be written as 2² × 13¹ × 19¹ where 2, 13, 19 are prime.

Pair factors of 988 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 988. The factors of 988 in pairs are:

• 1 × 988 = (1, 988)
• 2 × 494 = (2, 494)
• 4 × 247 = (4, 247)
• 13 × 76 = (13, 76)
• 19 × 52 = (19, 52)
• 26 × 38 = (26, 38)

Negative pair factors of 988 are:

• -1 × -988 = (-1, -988)
• -2 × -494 = (-2, -494)
• -4 × -247 = (-4, -247)
• -13 × -76 = (-13, -76)
• -19 × -52 = (-19, -52)
• -26 × -38 = (-26, -38)

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