What are the Factors of 342?

The following are the different types of factors of 342:

• Factors of 342: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342

• Negative Factors of 342: -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -18, -19, -38, -57, -114, -171, -342

• Prime Factors of 342: 2, 3, 19

• Prime Factorization of 342: $2^1\times3^2\times19^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 342, 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: 342 ÷ 2 = 171
Step 2: 171 ÷ 3 = 57
Step 3: 57 ÷ 3 = 19
Step 4: 19 ÷ 19 = 1

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

• Prime Factors of 342: $2\times3\times3\times19$

• Prime Factorization of 342: $2^1\times3^2\times19^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 3, 3, 19, 57, 171, 342

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
3 = 1 x 3
6 = 1 x 2 x 3
9 = 3 x 3
18 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 3
19 = 1 x 19
38 = 2 x 19
57 = 1 x 57
114 = 2 x 57
171 = 1 x 171
342 = 1 x 342

Finally Factors of 342 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
