(number 87 has 4 factors)

Factor Pairs of 87

A Factor Pair of number 87 is a combination of two factors which can be multiplied together to equal 87.

List of all possible Factor Pairs of 87:

  • 1 × 87 = 87
  • 3 × 29 = 87

How to find the Factors of 87

Divide 87 by every whole number from 1 up to 9. Each division without a remainder gives a factor and its pair. There is no point going further: 10 × 10 = 100 is already greater than 87, so any larger divisor would pair with a smaller one you have already checked.

  • 87 ÷ 1 = 87 — factors 1 and 87
  • 87 ÷ 2 — remainder 1, not a factor
  • 87 ÷ 3 = 29 — factors 3 and 29
  • 87 ÷ 4 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 87 ÷ 5 — remainder 2, not a factor
  • 87 ÷ 6 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 87 ÷ 7 — remainder 3, not a factor
  • 87 ÷ 8 — remainder 7, not a factor
  • 87 ÷ 9 — remainder 6, not a factor

Why 87 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.

87 = 3 × 29

(1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4

Step-by-step factorization: Prime factors of 87.
