(number 501 has 4 factors)

Factor Pairs of 501

A Factor Pair of number 501 is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 501.

List of all possible Factor Pairs of 501:

  • 1 × 501 = 501
  • 3 × 167 = 501

How to find the Factors of 501

Divide 501 by every whole number from 1 up to 22. Each division without a remainder gives a factor and its pair. There is no point going further: 23 × 23 = 529 is already greater than 501, so any larger divisor would pair with a smaller one you have already checked.

  • 501 ÷ 1 = 501 — factors 1 and 501
  • 501 ÷ 2 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 3 = 167 — factors 3 and 167
  • 501 ÷ 4 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 5 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 6 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 7 — remainder 4, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 8 — remainder 5, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 9 — remainder 6, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 10 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 11 — remainder 6, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 12 — remainder 9, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 13 — remainder 7, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 14 — remainder 11, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 15 — remainder 6, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 16 — remainder 5, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 17 — remainder 8, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 18 — remainder 15, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 19 — remainder 7, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 20 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 21 — remainder 18, not a factor
  • 501 ÷ 22 — remainder 17, not a factor

Why 501 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.

501 = 3 × 167

(1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4

Step-by-step factorization: Prime factors of 501.
