What are the Factors of 222?

The numbers that divide 222 evenly are known as factors of 222.

 

A factor of 222 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 222 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 37, 74, 111, and 222.

 

Negative factors of 222: -1, -2, -3, -6, -37, -74, -111, and -222.

 

Prime factors of 222: 2, 3, and 37.

 

Prime factorization of 222: 2 × 3 × 37.

 

The sum of factors of 222: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 37 + 74 + 111 + 222 = 456

How to Find Factors of 222?

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
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 222. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 222 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 222 by 1, 222 × 1 = 222.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 222 after multiplying

 

2 × 111 = 222

3 × 74 = 222

6 × 37 = 222

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 222 are: (1, 222), (2, 111), (3, 74), (6, 37).

 

All these factor pairs result in 222.

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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

 

Step 1: Divide 222 by 1, 222 ÷ 1 = 222.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 222 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

222 ÷ 1 = 222

222 ÷ 2 = 111

222 ÷ 3 = 74

222 ÷ 6 = 37

 

Therefore, the factors of 222 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 37, 74, 111, 222.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 222 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

222 ÷ 2 = 111

111 ÷ 3 = 37

37 ÷ 37 = 1

 

The prime factors of 222 are 2, 3, and 37.

 

The prime factorization of 222 is: 2 × 3 × 37.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, 222 is divided by 2 to get 111.

 

Step 2: Now divide 111 by 3 to get 37.

 

Here, 37 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore

So, the prime factorization of 222 is: 2 × 3 × 37.

 

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 222: (1, 222), (2, 111), (3, 74), and (6, 37).

 

Negative factor pairs of 222: (-1, -222), (-2, -111), (-3, -74), and (-6, -37).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 222

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every word. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 222, 1 and 222 are also factors.

Factors of 222 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 6 teams and 222 players. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will have 37 players each.

Explanation

To divide the players equally, we need to divide the total players by the number of teams.

 

222/6 = 37

Problem 2

A field is rectangular, the length of the field is 37 meters and the total area is 222 square meters. Find the width?

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

6 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the field, we use the formula, Area = length × width

 

222 = 37 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 37 to the left side.

 

222/37 = width

 

Width = 6.

Problem 3

There are 74 bags and 222 candies. How many candies will be in each bag?

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

Each bag will have 3 candies.

Explanation

To find the candies in each bag, divide the total candies by the bags.

 

222/74 = 3
