How to Find the factors of 162?
To calculate the factors of any number, here 162 in this case, we have to find all the numbers which will divide 162 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) 162 ÷ 1 = 162
Gives the remainder 0 and so is divisible by 162. So please put it on your factor list.
| 1 | … | 162 |
(ii) 162 ÷ 2 = 81
Gives the remainder 0 and so is divisible by 81. So please put it on your factor list.
| 1 | 2 | … | 81 | 162 |
(iii) 162 ÷ 3 = 54
Gives the remainder 0 and so is divisible by 81. So please put it on your factor list.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | … | 54 | 81 | 162 |
(iv) 162 ÷ 9 = 18
Gives the remainder 0 and so is divisible by 18. So please put it on your factor list.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 9 | … | 18 | 54 | 81 | 162 |
(xi) Since we don’t have any more numbers to calculate, we are putting the numbers so far.
So 1, 2, 3, 9, 18, 54, 81, 162 are factor of 162.
Factors of – 162
As – 9 and – 18 are negative factors, you get a positive number by multiplying two negatives, like (- 9) × (- 18) = 162.
So, – 1, – 2, – 3, – 9, – 18, – 54, – 81, – 162 are negative factor of 162.
All factors of 162
