What are the Factors of 272?

The following are the different types of factors of 272:

• Factors of 272: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

• Negative Factors of 272: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -17, -34, -68, -136, -272

• Prime Factors of 272: 2, 17

• Prime Factorization of 272: $2^4\times17^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 272, 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: 272 ÷ 2 = 136
Step 2: 136 ÷ 2 = 68
Step 3: 68 ÷ 2 = 34
Step 4: 34 ÷ 2 = 17
Step 5: 17 ÷ 17 = 1

In step 5, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 272: $2\times2\times2\times2\times17$

• Prime Factorization of 272: $2^4\times17^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
4 = 1 x 2 x 2
8 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2
16 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
17 = 1 x 17
34 = 1 x 34
68 = 1 x 68
136 = 1 x 136
272 = 1 x 272

Finally Factors of 272 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272
