(number 36 has 9 factors)

Factor Pairs of 36

A Factor Pair of number 36 is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 36.

List of all possible Factor Pairs of 36:

  • 1 × 36 = 36
  • 2 × 18 = 36
  • 3 × 12 = 36
  • 4 × 9 = 36
  • 6 × 6 = 36

How to find the Factors of 36

Divide 36 by every whole number from 1 up to 6. Each division without a remainder gives a factor and its pair. There is no point going further: 7 × 7 = 49 is already greater than 36, so any larger divisor would pair with a smaller one you have already checked.

  • 36 ÷ 1 = 36 — factors 1 and 36
  • 36 ÷ 2 = 18 — factors 2 and 18
  • 36 ÷ 3 = 12 — factors 3 and 12
  • 36 ÷ 4 = 9 — factors 4 and 9
  • 36 ÷ 5 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 36 ÷ 6 = 6 — factor 6, paired with itself

Why 36 has exactly 9 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.

36 = 22 × 32

(2 + 1) × (2 + 1) = 9

Step-by-step factorization: Prime factors of 36.
