Factors of 186
We have to find the factors of number 186. Factors are the numbers which when divided by number 186 we get the factors.
When we make pair of factors the multiplication of pair of factors gives the given number.
Steps to find Factors of 186:
1) Firstly we divide given number 186 to get remainder 0.
2) After getting answers all numbers we get are called Factors of given number.
3) 1 is the only number having factor of all numbers.
4) The given number itself is the highest factor of given number.
We find factors of 186:
Here,
We get factors of 186 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93 and 186
We know,
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number.
A number 186 has more than two factors.
Hence, 186 is composite number.
Also
We know,
A number which is not divided by any other number is called prime number.
In factors of 186 we get 2 and 93 are the prime number.
Now we find prime factorization of 186 by using LCM.
Prime factors of 186 = 2 x 93
Prime factors of 186 =2^1 x 93^1
There are 8 factors of 186 i.e. 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93 and 186
When we make pairs of factors the multiplication of that two factors is the given number itself.
Pairs of factors of 186: 1 x 186 = 186 · 2 x 93 = 186 · 3 x 62 = 186 · 6 x 31 = 186
Pairs of factors of 186: (1, 186) (2, 93), (3, 62), (6, 31).
We know Multiplication Property,
a x b = b x a
I.e. Pairs of factors of 186: (1, 186) (2, 93), (3, 62), (6, 31).
All factors of 186 =
- Prime factor of 186 = 2^1 x 93^1
- Sum of all factors of 186 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 16 + 31 + 62 + 93 +186 =384
Pairs of factors of 186: (1, 186) (2, 93), (3, 62), (6, 31) and (186, 1) (93, 2), (62, 3) ,(31, 6) is same.
