What are the Factors of 138?

The following are the different types of factors of 138:

• Factors of 138: 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138

• Negative Factors of 138: -1, -2, -3, -6, -23, -46, -69, -138

• Prime Factors of 138: 2, 3, 23

• Prime Factorization of 138: $2^1\times3^1\times23^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 138, start by dividing the numbers by the smallest prime number, which is 2. If the number is not divisible by 2, proceed to the next prime number, such as 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and continue this process until you reach 1.

Step 1: 138 ÷ 2 = 69
Step 2: 69 ÷ 3 = 23
Step 3: 23 ÷ 23 = 1

In step 3, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 138: $2\times3\times23$

• Prime Factorization of 138: $2^1\times3^1\times23^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 3, 23, 69, 138

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
3 = 1 x 3
6 = 1 x 2 x 3
23 = 1 x 23
46 = 2 x 23
69 = 1 x 69
138 = 1 x 138

Finally Factors of 138 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
