1. Steps to find factors of 366 using Division Method

Example: Find factors of 366

  • Divide 366 by 1: 366 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 2: 366 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 3: 366 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 6: 366 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 61: 366 ÷ 61 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 122: 366 ÷ 122 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 183: 366 ÷ 183 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 366 by 366: 366 ÷ 366 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 366 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 61, 122, 183, and 366

2. Steps to find factors of 366 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 366 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 366 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 366, which is 2. Divide 366 by 2 to obtain the quotient (183).
    366 ÷ 2 = 183
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (183).
    183 ÷ 3 = 61
    61 ÷ 61 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 366 is, 366 = 2 x 3 x 61.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 366 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 366 is, 366 = 2 x 3 x 61.

3. Find factors of 366 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 366 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 366 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 366 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 366 1 x 366 = 366
2 and 183 2 x 183 = 366
3 and 122 3 x 122 = 366
6 and 61 6 x 61 = 366

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 366. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 366 would be ( -1 , -366 ) , ( -2 , -183 ) , ( -3 , -122 ) and ( -6 , -61 ) .

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 366 is a factor of itself.
  • 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, 2, 3, 6, 61, 122, 183, 366 are exact divisors of 366.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 366.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 366 x 0 = 0.
