What are the Factors of 344?

The numbers that divide 344 evenly are known as factors of 344. A factor of 344 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 344 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, and 344.

 

Negative factors of 344: -1, -2, -4, -8, -43, -86, -172, and -344.

 

Prime factors of 344: 2 and 43.

 

Prime factorization of 344: 2³ × 43.

 

The sum of factors of 344: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 43 + 86 + 172 + 344 = 660factors of 344

How to Find Factors of 344?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using the 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 344. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 344 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 344 by 1, 344 × 1 = 344.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 344 after multiplying    

 

2 × 172 = 344     

4 × 86 = 344     

8 × 43 = 344

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 344 are: (1, 344), (2, 172), (4, 86), and (8, 43).

 

All these factor pairs result in 344. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the 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 344 by 1, 344 ÷ 1 = 344.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 344 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

344 ÷ 1 = 344

344 ÷ 2 = 172

344 ÷ 4 = 86

344 ÷ 8 = 43

Therefore, the factors of 344 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, 344.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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 344 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

344 ÷ 2 = 172

172 ÷ 2 = 86

86 ÷ 2 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

 

The prime factors of 344 are 2 and 43.

 

The prime factorization of 344 is: 2³ × 43.

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, 344 is divided by 2 to get 172.

 

Step 2: Now divide 172 by 2 to get 86.

 

Step 3: Then divide 86 by 2 to get 43. Here, 43 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 344 is: 2³ × 43.

 

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 344: (1, 344), (2, 172), (4, 86), and (8, 43).

 

Negative factor pairs of 344: (-1, -344), (-2, -172), (-4, -86), and (-8, -43).

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 344, 1 and 344 are also factors.

Factors of 344 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 8 students and 344 pages of reading material. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 43 pages each.

Explanation

To divide the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages by the number of students.

 

344/8 = 43

Max from BrightChamps Praising Clear Math Explanations

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 43 meters and a total area of 344 square meters. Find the width.

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

8 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,     

 

Area = length × width     

 

344 = 43 × width     

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 43 to the left side.     

 

344/43 = width     

 

width = 8.

Problem 3

There are 86 packets of seeds and 344 seeds. How many seeds will be in each packet?

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

Each packet will have 4 seeds.

Explanation

To find the seeds in each packet, divide the total seeds by the number of packets.     

 

344/86 = 4
