How to find the factors of 360?

Factors help us divide numbers equally, making calculations faster and easier. We can find factors from the following methods:

Multiplication Method

In this method, we find pairs of numbers, which we multiply to get the desired number.


Example: Here are the factors of 360 by multiplication method:


 2×180=360


4×90=360, and so on.


This means that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, and 360 are the factors of 360.

Division Method

We divide 360 by numbers starting from 1 and see which number gives the remainder of 0.
360÷ 1=360
360 ÷2=180
360÷ 3=120
360 ÷4=90
360 ÷5=72
360 ÷6=60
360÷ 8=45
360÷ 9=40
360÷ 10=36
360 ÷12=30
360 ÷15=24
360 ÷18=20
360 ÷20=18
360÷ 24=15
360 ÷30=12
360 ÷36=10
360÷ 40=9
360 ÷60=6
360÷ 72=5
360÷ 90=4
360 ÷120=3
360 ÷180=2
360 ÷360=1
So the factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, and 360.

Factor pairs:

Positive and negative pairs:


A number should have both positive and negative factors can be written as factors:


Positive :(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, and 360)


Negative:(−1,−2,−3,−4,−5,−6,−8,−9,−10,−12,−15,−18,−20,−24,−30,−36,−40,−60,−72,−90,−120,−180,−360)
