How to Find the Factors of 88

We can use various methods to find the factors of 88. Here’s a list of methods that can be used:

 

 

  • Multiplication Method

 

  • Division Method

 

  • Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

 

  • Factor Tree

Finding Factors Using Multiplication Method

In the multiplication method, we find pairs of numbers whose product will be 88. The steps used are:

 

Step 1: Identify the pair of numbers that will give 88 as the product.


Step 2: These numbers will be identified as the factors of 88


Step 3: Make a list of pair of numbers whose product will be 88. 

 

A list of numbers whose products are 88 is given below:

 

  • 1 × 88 = 88

 

  • 2 × 44 = 88

 

  • 4 × 22 = 88

 

  • 8 × 11 = 88
     
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

For the division method, the divisor, and the quotient are its factors. 


Step-by-step process

 

Step 1: Always start the division with 1, since 1 is the smallest factor of any given number. Example: 88÷1 = 88.

 

Here, 1 and 88 are the factors

 

Step 2: Move on to the next number and check if 88 is getting completely divided. Continue this process until you can’t divide 88 anymore.

 

Overview of Factors of 88 using the division method

 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime factorization is the process where the prime factors are expressed in their exponential form. The prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by 1 and the number itself.

 

Prime Factors of 88:There are two prime factors for 88.


Prime factors of 88: 2, 11

 

To find the factors of 88, 

 

Step 1:  Divide 88 using the prime number 2


88÷2 = 44


44÷2 = 22


22÷2 = 11

 

Step 2: Divide 11 with the prime number 11


11÷11 = 1


For the prime factorization method, 88 can be expressed as 23 × 111.

Factor Pairs

Factor pairs are formed when two factors are grouped. When these factor pairs are multiplied together, we get 88 as the product.


 
Positive Factor Pairs: (1,88), (2,44), (4,22), (8,11)


Negative Factor Pairs:  (-1,-88), (-2,-44), (-4,-22), (-8,-11)

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Not including 1 and 88 as factors of 88
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

 Kids can forget to include 1 and 88 as factors. Remember that for any given number, 1 and the number itself will be there as its factor. So, the factors of 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44 and 88.

Problem 1

Is 4 a factor of 88? If yes, what will be the quotient?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 4 is a factor of 88. The quotient will be 22.
 

Explanation

 4 is a factor of 88 because 88 is completely divisible 4. When 88 is divided by 4 (88÷4) we get 22 as the quotient and the remainder will be zero.

Problem 2

Can you list the factors of 88 in descending order?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, the factors of 88 can be written in descending order as 88, 44, 22, 11, 8, 4, 2, 1.
 

Explanation

 We find the factors of 88 and usually write in ascending order (from smaller to bigger). Descending order means to write the factors from bigger to smaller. So the factors of 88 when written in descending order will be 88, 44, 22, 11, 8, 4, 2, 1.

Problem 3

Identify the multiples of 11 from the factors of 88

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 The multiples of 11 from the factors of 88 are 11, 22, 44 and 88.
 

Explanation

Multiples are numbers we get when another number multiplies the given number. Here, multiples of 11 are numbers we get when 11 is multiplied by another. 
The multiples of 11 from factors of 88 are 11 (1×11), 22 (2×11), 44 (4×11), 88 (8×11).
