• Then we find the sum of combinations of factors.
• Note down the combination of factors with sum as 31, and read off the answer!

Steps to find Factors of 186

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 186 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 93 (half of 186). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  186 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 62 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 93 : Remainder = 0

  186 ÷ 186 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 186 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, and 186

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, the term factor is a number or an algebraic expression that divides another number or an expression completely without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 186 is a factor of itself.
• 2 is the only even prime factor any number can have.
• Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186 are exact divisors of 186.
• 1 is the common and smallest natural factor every number can have.
• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 186 x 0 = 0.
