1. Steps to find factors of 351 using Division Method

Example: Find factors of 351

  • Divide 351 by 1: 351 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 3: 351 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 9: 351 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 13: 351 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 27: 351 ÷ 27 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 39: 351 ÷ 39 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 117: 351 ÷ 117 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 351 by 351: 351 ÷ 351 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 351 are 1, 3, 9, 13, 27, 39, 117, and 351

2. Steps to find factors of 351 using Prime Factorization

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.

There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 351 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 351 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
  • Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 351, which is 3. Divide 351 by 3 to obtain the quotient (117).
    351 ÷ 3 = 117
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (117).
    117 ÷ 3 = 39
    39 ÷ 3 = 13
    13 ÷ 13 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 351 is, 351 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 13.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 351 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 351 is, 351 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 13.

3. Find factors of 351 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 351 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 351 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 351 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 351 1 x 351 = 351
3 and 117 3 x 117 = 351
9 and 39 9 x 39 = 351
13 and 27 13 x 27 = 351

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 351. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 351 would be ( -1 , -351 ) , ( -3 , -117 ) , ( -9 , -39 ) and ( -13 , -27 ) .

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of factors

  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 351 x 0 = 0.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 9, 13, 27, 39, 117, 351 are exact divisors of 351.
  • Factors of 351 are 1, 3, 9, 13, 27, 39, 117, 351. Each factor divides 351 without leaving a remainder.
