Factors of 187
We have to find the factors of number 187. Factors are the numbers which when divided by number 187 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 187:
1) Firstly we divide given number 187 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 187:
Here,
We get factors of 187 are 1, 11, 17, 187
We know,
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number.
A number 187 has more than two factors.
Hence, 187 is composite number.
Also
We know,
A number which is not divided by any other number is called prime number.
In factors of 187 we get 11 and 17 are the prime number.
Now we find prime factorization of 187 by using LCM.
Prime factors of 187 = 11 x 17
Prime factors of 187 =11^1 x 17^1
There are 4 factors of 187 i.e. 1, 11, 17, 187.
When we make pairs of factors the multiplication of that two factors is the given number itself.
- Pairs of factors of 187: 1 × 187 ,11 × 17
- Pairs of factors of 187: (1, 187) (11, 17).
We know Multiplication Property,
a x b = b x a
I.e. Pairs of factors of 187 : (187, 1) (11, 17).
All factors of 187 =
- Prime factor of 187 = 11^1 x 17^1
- Sum of all factors of 187 = 1 + 11 + 17 + 187 = 216
Pairs of factors of 187 : (1, 187) (11, 17) and (187, 1) (17, 11) is same.
