What are the Factors of 372?

The numbers that divide 372 evenly are known as factors of 372. A factor of 372 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 372 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, and 372.

 

Negative factors of 372: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12, -31, -62, -93, -124, -186, and -372.

 

Prime factors of 372: 2, 3, and 31.

 

Prime factorization of 372: 22 x 3 x 31.

 

The sum of factors of 372: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 + 31 + 62 + 93 + 124 + 186 + 372 = 896factors of 372

How to Find Factors of 372?

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 372. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 372 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 372 by 1, 372 × 1 = 372.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 372 after multiplying:

 

2 × 186 = 372

3 × 124 = 372

4 × 93 = 372

6 × 62 = 372

12 × 31 = 372

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 372 are: (1, 372), (2, 186), (3, 124), (4, 93), (6, 62), (12, 31). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 372 by 1, 372 ÷ 1 = 372.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 372 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

372 ÷ 1 = 372

372 ÷ 2 = 186

372 ÷ 3 = 124

372 ÷ 4 = 93

372 ÷ 6 = 62

372 ÷ 12 = 31

 

Therefore, the factors of 372 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372.

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

 

372 ÷ 2 = 186

186 ÷ 2 = 93

93 ÷ 3 = 31

31 ÷ 31 = 1

 

The prime factors of 372 are 2, 3, and 31.

 

The prime factorization of 372 is: 22 x 3 x 31

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, 372 is divided by 2 to get 186.

 

Step 2: Now divide 186 by 2 to get 93.

 

Step 3: Then divide 93 by 3 to get 31. Here, 31 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 372 is:  22 x 3 x 31.

 

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 372: (1, 372), (2, 186), (3, 124), (4, 93), (6, 62), (12, 31).

 

Negative factor pairs of 372: (-1, -372), (-2, -186), (-3, -124), (-4, -93), (-6, -62), (-12, -31).

Problem 1

There are 12 teams and 372 players. How will they divide the players equally among the teams?

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

They will get 31 players each.

Explanation

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

372/12 = 31

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 31 meters and the total area is 372 square meters. Find the width.

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

12 meters.

Explanation

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

372 = 31 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 31 to the left side.

372/31 = width

Width = 12.

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

Each bus will have 62 passengers.

Explanation

To find the passengers in each bus, divide the total passengers by the buses.

372/6 = 62
