What are the Factors of 348?

The numbers that divide 348 evenly are known as factors of 348.

 

A factor of 348 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 348 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, and 348.

 

Negative factors of 348: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12, -29, -58, -87, -116, -174, and -348.

 

Prime factors of 348: 2, 3, and 29.

 

Prime factorization of 348: 22 × 3 × 29.

 

The sum of factors of 348: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 + 29 + 58 + 87 + 116 + 174 + 348 = 840factors of 348

How to Find Factors of 348?

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 348. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 348 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 348 by 1, 348 × 1 = 348.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 348 after multiplying

 

2 × 174 = 348

3 × 116 = 348

4 × 87 = 348

6 × 58 = 348

12 × 29 = 348

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 348 are: (1, 348), (2, 174), (3, 116), (4, 87), (6, 58), (12, 29).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 348 by 1, 348 ÷ 1 = 348.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 348 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

348 ÷ 1 = 348

348 ÷ 2 = 174

348 ÷ 3 = 116

348 ÷ 4 = 87

348 ÷ 6 = 58

348 ÷ 12 = 29

 

Therefore, the factors of 348 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 348.

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

 

348 ÷ 2 = 174

174 ÷ 2 = 87

87 ÷ 3 = 29

29 ÷ 29 = 1

 

The prime factors of 348 are 2, 3, and 29.

 

The prime factorization of 348 is: 2^2 × 3 × 29.

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, 348 is divided by 2 to get 174.

 

Step 2: Now divide 174 by 2 to get 87.

 

Step 3: Then divide 87 by 3 to get 29. Here, 29 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore.

 

So, the prime factorization of 348 is: 22 × 3 × 29.

 

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 348: (1, 348), (2, 174), (3, 116), (4, 87), (6, 58), (12, 29).

 

Negative factor pairs of 348: (-1, -348), (-2, -174), (-3, -116), (-4, -87), (-6, -58), (-12, -29).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 348

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 number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 348, 1 and 348 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 12 friends and 348 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 29 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of friends.

 

348/12 = 29

Problem 2

A rectangle has a length of 6 meters and the total area is 348 square meters. Find the width.

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

58 meters.

Explanation

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

 

Area = length × width

 

348 = 6 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 6 to the left side.

 

348/6 = width Width = 58.
