1, 3, 7, 21

(number 21 has 4 factors)

Factor Pairs of 21

A Factor Pair of number 21 is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 21.

List of all possible Factor Pairs of 21:

  • 1 × 21 = 21
  • 3 × 7 = 21

How to find the Factors of 21

Divide 21 by every whole number from 1 up to 4. Each division without a remainder gives a factor and its pair. There is no point going further: 5 × 5 = 25 is already greater than 21, so any larger divisor would pair with a smaller one you have already checked.

  • 21 ÷ 1 = 21 — factors 1 and 21
  • 21 ÷ 2 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 21 ÷ 3 = 7 — factors 3 and 7
  • 21 ÷ 4 — remainder 1, not a factor

Why 21 has exactly 4 factors

The count follows from the prime factorization: add 1 to each exponent and multiply. Counting the divisors this way needs no trial division at all, however large the number is.

21 = 3 × 7

(1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4

Step-by-step factorization: Prime factors of 21.
