Factors of 352:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 352, we found that 352 has factors 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 88, 176 and 352. Hence, we must say that 352 is a composite number.
- Thus, 352 is the composite umber.
- If we multiply 352 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 352 which are 352, 704 and so on.
About the number 352:
- 352 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 88, 176 and 352 and hence it is the composite number.
- 352 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 352 by 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 88, 176 and 352 then we get remainder as zero. Hence,1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 88, 176 and 352 are the factors of 352.
Note:
- 352 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 352: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 88, 176 and 352
- Prime factors of 352: 2, 11
Conclusion:
- 352 is the composite number which has factors 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 88, 176
- And hence, 352 is not the prime number.
