How To Find out the Factors of 46
We have to find the factors of number 46. Factors are the numbers which when divided by number 46 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 46:
1) Firstly we divide given number 46 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 46:
Here,
We get factors of 46 are 1, 2, 23 and 46.
We know,
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number.
A number 46 has more than two factors.
Hence, 46 is composite number.
Also
We know,
A number which is not divided by any other number is called prime number.
In factors of 46 we get 2and 23 are the prime number.
Now we find prime factorization of 22 by using LCM.
Prime factors of 46 = 2 x 23
There are 4 factors of 46 i.e. 1, 2, 23 and 46.
When we make pairs of factors the multiplication of that two factors is the given number itself.
Pairs of factors of 46: 1 x 46, 2 x 23.
Pairs of factors of 46: (1, 46) and (2, 23)
We know Multiplication Property,
a x b = b x a
I.e. Pairs of factors of 46: (46, 1) and (23, 2) is also same.
- All factors of 46 = 1, 2, 23, 46.
- Prime factor of 46 = 2 x 23
- Sum of all factors of 46 = 1 + 2 + 23 + 46 = 72
- Pairs of factors of 46: (1, 46) and (2,23) also (46, 1) and (23, 2)
