Pair Factors of 192

If the product of two natural numbers is equal to 192, then such pairs of numbers are called pair factors of the original number.

  • 1 × 192 = 192
  • 2 × 96 = 192
  • 3 × 64 = 192
  • 4 × 48 = 192
  • 6 × 32 = 192
  • 8 × 24 = 192
  • 12 × 16 = 192

Therefore, the positive pair factors of 192 are (1, 192), (2, 96), (3, 64), (4, 48), (6, 32), (8, 24), (12, 16).

Pair factors can be considered with a negative sign, since the product will result in a positive number.

  • -1 × -192 = 192
  • -2 × -96 = 192
  • -3 × -64 = 192
  • -4 × -48 = 192
  • -6 × -32 = 192
  • -8 × -24 = 192
  • -12 × -16 = 192

Therefore, the negative pair factors are (-1, -192), (-2, -96), (-3, -64), (-4, -48), (-6, -32), (-8, -24), (-12, -16).

How to Find the Factors of 192?

The factors of 192 can be determined by checking with what numbers, the actual number is completely divisible. It means that the remainder should remain zero.

  • 192 ÷ 1 = 192
  • 192 ÷ 2 = 96
  • 192 ÷ 3 = 64
  • 192 ÷ 4 = 48
  • 192 ÷ 6 = 32
  • 192 ÷ 8 = 24
  • 192 ÷ 12 = 16
  • 192 ÷ 16 = 12
  • 192 ÷ 24 = 8
  • 192 ÷ 32 = 6
  • 192 ÷ 48 = 4
  • 192 ÷ 64 = 3
  • 192 ÷ 96 = 2
  • 192 ÷ 192 = 1

Therefore, we can conclude the factors of 192, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 192. There are a total 14 factors, including 1 and the number itself.
