The Factoring Calculator finds the factors and factor pairs of a positive or negative number. Enter an integer number to find its factors. Show For positive integers the calculator will only present the positive factors because that is the normally accepted answer. For example, you get 2 and 3 as a factor pair of 6. If you also need negative factors you will need to duplicate the answer yourself and repeat all of the factors as negatives such as -2 and -3 as another factor pair of 6. On the other hand this calculator will give you negative factors for negative integers. For example, -2 and 3 AND 2 and -3 are both factor pairs of -6. Factors are whole numbers that are multiplied together to produce another number. The original numbers are factors of the product number. If a x b = c then a and b are factors of c. Say you wanted to find the factors of 16. You would find all pairs of numbers that when multiplied together resulted in 16. We know 2 and 8 are factors of 16 because 2 x 8 = 16. 4 is a factor of 16 because 4 x 4 = 16. Also 1 and 16 are factors of 16 because 1 x 16 = 16. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. You can also think about factors in terms of division: The factors of a number include all numbers that divide evenly into that number with no remainder. Consider the number 10. Since 10 is evenly divisible by 2 and 5, you can conclude that both 2 and 5 are factors of 10. The table below lists the factors for 3, 18, 36 and 48. It is important to note that every integer number has at least two factors: 1 and the number itself. If a number has only two factors that number is a prime number.

Factors of Negative NumbersAll of the above information and methods generally apply to factoring negative numbers. Just be sure to follow the rules of multiplying and dividing negative numbers to find all factors of negative numbers. For example, the factors of -6 are (1, -6), (-1, 6), (2, -3), (-2, 3). See the Math Equation Solver Calculator and the section on Rules for Multiplication Operations. Related Factoring CalculatorsSee our Common Factors Calculator to find all factors of a set of numbers and learn which are the common factors. The Greatest Common Factor Calculator finds the greatest common factor (GCF) or greatest common divisor (GCD) of a set of numbers. See the Least Common Denominator Calculator to find the lowest common denominator for fractions, integers and mixed numbers.
Factors of 16 are the set of integers that can divide 16 perfectly i.e when you divide it with its factors, we will get 0 as the remainder. Let us see the factors in different ways to represent the factors, and various methods to find these factors.
Now the most used method to find factors in the prime factorization Prime Factorization of 16The prime factorization of a number refers to the process of writing the number as the product of its prime factors. There are two methods of prime factorization which we can follow to find all the factors of a number Prime Factorization Of 16 By Upside Down Division MethodThe Prime Factorization by Upside Down Division Method is shown below: Here, 16 is an even number. So it is undoubtedly divisible by 2 with no remainder. Thus we do 16÷ 2 = 8. Now find the prime factors of the obtained quotient. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until we get a result of prime number as the quotient. Here, 8 is the quotient. 8÷ 2 = 4. Here, 4 is the quotient. Now find the prime factors of the 4. 4÷ 2= 2. Here, 2 is the quotient 2÷ 2= 1. As the quotient is 1, we stop the process and all the left side numbers become the prime factors. From this, we can get the prime of factorisation of 16 as 2*2*2*2 and a prime factor as 2. Prime Factorization By Factor Tree MethodFor this method, you must first consider two factors say a, b of the number such that a*b is equal to that number and then consider two factors of a and b each and so on. This process is repeated until the factors are prime. You may have different factor trees depending on the starting point, however, all of them would show the same prime factors. Factor Tree Method is shown below: 2 is a prime number. Hence, the factor tree ends there. Hence, prime factorization is 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 and the prime factor of 16 is 2. FAQWhat are the Factors of 16? The factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. What is the sum of all the Factors of 16? Sum of all factors is 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31
Prime Factors of 16 definition First note that prime numbers are all positive integers that can only be evenly divided by 1 and itself. Prime Factors of 16 are all the prime numbers that when multiplied together equal 16.How to find the Prime Factors of 16 The process of finding the Prime Factors of 16 is called Prime Factorization of 16. To get the Prime Factors of 16, you divide 16 by the smallest prime number possible. Then you take the result from that and divide that by the smallest prime number. Repeat this process until you end up with 1. This Prime Factorization process creates what we call the Prime Factor Tree of 16. See illustration below. All the prime numbers that are used to divide in the Prime Factor Tree are the Prime Factors of 16. Here is the math to illustrate: 16 ÷ 2 = 88 ÷ 2 = 44 ÷ 2 = 22 ÷ 2 = 1 Again, all the prime numbers you used to divide above are the Prime Factors of 16. Thus, the Prime Factors of 16 are: 2, 2, 2, 2. How many Prime Factors of 16? When we count the number of prime numbers above, we find that 16 has a total of 4 Prime Factors. Product of Prime Factors of 16 The Prime Factors of 16 are unique to 16. When you multiply all the Prime Factors of 16 together it will result in 16. This is called the Product of Prime Factors of 16. The Product of Prime Factors of 16 is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16Prime Factor Calculator Do you need the Prime Factors for a particular number?
