Factors of 188
We have to find the factors of number 188. Factors are the numbers which when divided by number 188 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 188:
1) Firstly we divide given number 188 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 188:
Here,
We get factors of 188 are1, 2, 4, 47, 94 and 188
We know,
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number.
A number 188 has more than two factors.
Hence, 188 is composite number.
Also
We know,
A number which is not divided by any other number is called prime number.
In factors of 188 we get 2^2 and 47 are the prime number.
Now we find prime factorization of 188 by using LCM.
Prime factors of 188 = 2 x 2 x 47
Prime factors of 188 =2^2 x 47^1
There are 6 factors of 188 i.e. 1, 2, 4, 47, 94 and 188
When we make pairs of factors the multiplication of that two factors is the given number itself.
- Pairs of factors of 188 : 1 × 188 , 2 × 94 ,4 × 47
Pairs of factors of 188: (1, 188) (2, 94), (4, 47).
We know Multiplication Property,
a x b = b x a
I.e. Pairs of factors of 188 : (188, 1) (94, 2), (47, 4)
All factors of 188 =
- Prime factor of 188 = 2^2 x 47^1
- Sum of all factors of 188 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 47 + 94 + 188 = 336
Pairs of factors of 188 : (1, 188) (2, 94), (4, 47) and (188, 1) (94, 2), (47, 4) is same.
