1, 2, 23, 46

(number 46 has 4 factors)

Factor Pairs of 46

A Factor Pair of number 46 is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 46.

List of all possible Factor Pairs of 46:

  • 1 × 46 = 46
  • 2 × 23 = 46

How to find the Factors of 46

Divide 46 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 46, so any larger divisor would pair with a smaller one you have already checked.

  • 46 ÷ 1 = 46 — factors 1 and 46
  • 46 ÷ 2 = 23 — factors 2 and 23
  • 46 ÷ 3 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 46 ÷ 4 — remainder 2, not a factor
  • 46 ÷ 5 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 46 ÷ 6 — remainder 4, not a factor

Why 46 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.

46 = 2 × 23

(1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4

Step-by-step factorization: Prime factors of 46.
