What are the Factors of 238?

The following are the different types of factors of 238:

• Factors of 238: 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238

• Negative Factors of 238: -1, -2, -7, -14, -17, -34, -119, -238

• Prime Factors of 238: 2, 7, 17

• Prime Factorization of 238: $2^1\times7^1\times17^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 238, 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: 238 ÷ 2 = 119
Step 2: 119 ÷ 7 = 17
Step 3: 17 ÷ 17 = 1

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

• Prime Factors of 238: $2\times7\times17$

• Prime Factorization of 238: $2^1\times7^1\times17^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 7, 17, 119, 238

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
7 = 1 x 7
14 = 1 x 2 x 7
17 = 1 x 17
34 = 2 x 17
119 = 1 x 119
238 = 1 x 238

Finally Factors of 238 = 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
