What are the Factors of 156?

The following are the different types of factors of 156:

• Factors of 156: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

• Negative Factors of 156: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12, -13, -26, -39, -52, -78, -156

• Prime Factors of 156: 2, 3, 13

• Prime Factorization of 156: $2^2\times3^1\times13^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 156, 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: 156 ÷ 2 = 78
Step 2: 78 ÷ 2 = 39
Step 3: 39 ÷ 3 = 13
Step 4: 13 ÷ 13 = 1

In step 4, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 156: $2\times2\times3\times13$

• Prime Factorization of 156: $2^2\times3^1\times13^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 2, 3, 13, 39, 78, 156

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
3 = 1 x 3
4 = 1 x 2 x 2
6 = 2 x 3
12 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 3
13 = 1 x 13
26 = 2 x 13
39 = 1 x 39
52 = 2 x 2 x 13
78 = 1 x 78
156 = 1 x 156

Finally Factors of 156 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
