The numbers that divide 114 evenly are known as factors of 114. A factor of 114 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 114 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 57, and 114.

Negative factors of 114: -1, -2, -3, -6, -19, -38, -57, and -114.

Prime factors of 114: 2, 3, and 19.

Prime factorization of 114: 2 × 3 × 19.

The sum of factors of 114: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 19 + 38 + 57 + 114 = 240

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

• Finding factors using multiplication
• Finding factors using division method
• Prime factors and prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 114. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 114 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 114 by 1, 114 × 1 = 114.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 114 after multiplying 2 × 57 = 114

3 × 38 = 114

6 × 19 = 114

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 114 are: (1, 114), (2, 57), (3, 38), (6, 19). All these factor pairs result in 114. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 114 by 1, 114 ÷ 1 = 114.

Step 2: Continue dividing 114 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

114 ÷ 1 = 114

114 ÷ 2 = 57

114 ÷ 3 = 38

114 ÷ 6 = 19

Therefore, the factors of 114 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 57, 114.

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

• Using prime factorization
• Using factor tree

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 114 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1

114 ÷ 2 = 57

57 ÷ 3 = 19

19 ÷ 19 = 1

The prime factors of 114 are 2, 3, and 19. The prime factorization of 114 is: 2 × 3 × 19.

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

Step 1: Firstly, 114 is divided by 2 to get 57.

Step 2: Now divide 57 by 3 to get 19.

Step 3: 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 114 is: 2 × 3 × 19.

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

• Positive factor pairs of 114: (1, 114), (2, 57), (3, 38), (6, 19).
• Negative factor pairs of 114: (-1, -114), (-2, -57), (-3, -38), (-6, -19).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 114 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 57, and 114.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2, 3, and 19 are prime factors of 114.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pairs of 114 are (1, 114), (2, 57), etc.

• Prime factorization: The process of breaking down a number into its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 114 is 2 × 3 × 19.

• Multiplication method: A method to find factors by identifying pairs of numbers that multiply to give the original number. For example, finding that 6 × 19 = 114.
