(number 231 has 8 factors)

Factor Pairs of 231

A Factor Pair of number 231 is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 231.

List of all possible Factor Pairs of 231:

  • 1 × 231 = 231
  • 3 × 77 = 231
  • 7 × 33 = 231
  • 11 × 21 = 231

How to find the Factors of 231

Divide 231 by every whole number from 1 up to 15. Each division without a remainder gives a factor and its pair. There is no point going further: 16 × 16 = 256 is already greater than 231, so any larger divisor would pair with a smaller one you have already checked.

  • 231 ÷ 1 = 231 — factors 1 and 231
  • 231 ÷ 2 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 3 = 77 — factors 3 and 77
  • 231 ÷ 4 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 5 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 6 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 7 = 33 — factors 7 and 33
  • 231 ÷ 8 — remainder 7, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 9 — remainder 6, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 10 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 11 = 21 — factors 11 and 21
  • 231 ÷ 12 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 13 — remainder 10, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 14 — remainder 7, not a factor
  • 231 ÷ 15 — remainder 6, not a factor

Why 231 has exactly 8 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.

231 = 3 × 7 × 11

(1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 8

Step-by-step factorization: Prime factors of 231.
