What are the factors of 330?

Factors are whole numbers that, when multiplied, the product is equal to 330. 


330 is not a prime number, its factors are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165 and 330. For every factor, there is a corresponding negative factor, for 330, the negative factors -1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -10, -11, -15, -22, -30, -33, -55, -66, -110, -165 and -330.

How to find the factors of 330?

There are various methods we apply to find the factors of any number. Few of them are listed here;  multiplication method, division method, prime factors and prime factorization and factor tree method. These are explained in detail below, let’s learn !

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

Step 1: Find all pairs of numbers whose product is 330. 


Step 2: All the pairs found represent the factors of 330. 


330 is not a prime number. The pair of numbers whose product is 330 is;


1×330=330 
2×165 = 330
3×110 = 330
5×66=330
6×55=330
10×33=330
11×30=330
15×22=330


The factors of 330 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165 and 330.

Finding Factors by Division Method

Step 1: Start by dividing 330 with the smallest number, and check the remainders. 


Step 2: 330 is not prime, therefore the divisors it has are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165 and 330. Any number that is further checked for divisibility leaves behind a remainder.


The factors of 330 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165 and 330.

Prime factors and prime factorization

— 330 is not a prime number.


— The prime factorization of 330 is 2×3×5×11.


— Factors of 330 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165 and 330.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor tree

— In this method, we make branches that extend from the number to express a number as the product of its factors. 


— In case of 330, branch will be extended as the number is prime factorized as 2×165 → 3×55 → 5×11. 11 is a prime number and cannot be factored further.

Factors of 330 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

How many factors does 330 have?

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

First, find the prime factorization of 330:


330=2×3×5×11.


Using the formula for finding the total number of factors, add 1 to each of the exponents and multiply:
(1+1)×(1+1)×(1+1)×(1+1)=2×2×2×2=16


So, 330 has 16 factors.
 

Explanation

To find the number of factors, we add 1 to each exponent in the prime factorization and multiply the results. This gives the total count of factors for the number 330.

Problem 2

Find the sum of all the factors of 330.

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

First, use the prime factorization:


330=21×31×51×111 


Apply the formula to find the sum of factors by adding one to each power and summing each series: 


(20+21)×(30+31)×(50+51)×(110+111


=(1+2)×(1+3)×(1+5)×(1+11)


 =3×4×6×12=864


So, the sum of all factors of 330 is 864.
 

Explanation

Using the formula for the sum of divisors of a number, we take each prime factor, raise it to each power from 0 up to the exponent, and sum the terms. Then, we multiply these sums to get the total sum of all factors.

Problem 3

What are the common factors of 330 and 198?

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

Find the factors of 330: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, 30, 33, 55, 66, 110, 165, and 330.


Find the factors of 198: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99, and 198.


Identify the common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, and 66.


The common factors of 330 and 198 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, and 66.
 

Explanation

Common factors are shared divisors between two numbers. We find each number’s factors and then pick the ones that appear in both lists.
