How to Find the factors of 146?
To calculate the factors of any number, here 146 in this case, we have to find all the numbers which will divide 146 without leaving any remainder. We start with the number 1, then go on checking the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc. The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
(i) 146 ÷ 1 = 146
Gives remainder 0 and so are divisible by 146. So please put it on your factor list.
1, ........ 146(ii) 146 ÷ 2 = 73
Gives remainder 0 and so are divisible by 146. So please put it on your factor list.
1, 2 ........ 73, 146(iii) 146 ÷ 3 = 48.66
Gives remainder 48.66, not being thoroughly divided. So we will not write three on the list.(iv) 146 ÷ 4 = 36.5
Gives remainder 36.5, not being thoroughly divided. So we will not write four on the list.
(v) 146 ÷ 5 = 29.2
Gives remainder 29.2, not being thoroughly divided. So we will not write five on the list.(vi) Since we don't have any more numbers to calculate, we are putting the numbers so far.
So 1, 2, 73, 146 are factor of 146.
Factors of – 146
As – 2 and – 73 are negative factors, you get a positive number by multiplying two negatives, like (- 2) × (- 73) = 146.
So, – 1, – 2, – 73, – 146 are negative factor of 146.
All factors of 146
