Factors of 41 are the numbers (including both positive and negative numbers) which get multiplied and produce the result as 41. In this article, you will understand the factors of 41, how to find the factors of a number 41 and prime factors of 41 in detail.
What are the Factors of 41?
Factors of 41 are all the integers that we can evenly divide 41 into specific numbers. As we know, any number divided by its factor will be equal to one of the other factors. Thus, when we divide 41 with its factor, it will be equal to another factor.
We know that 41 is a prime number, it has only two factors, i.e. 1 and 41.

| 1 and 41 |
Therefore, the factors of 41 are the exact divisors of that number.
How to Calculate the Factors of 41?
We can find the factors of 41 by dividing 41 with counting numbers.
41/1 = 41 (a factor)
41/2 = 20.5 (not a factor)
41/3 = 13.66.. (not a factor)
..
41/41 = 1 (a factor)
As we know, the factors of any number cannot be the decimal numbers. Hence, we consider only whole numbers as the factors.
Factor pairs of 41
To find the pair factors of 41, multiply the 2 numbers in a pair to have the original number as 41. Such numbers are as follows:
| Positive factor pairs | Negative factor pairs |
| 1 × 41 = 41; (1, 41) | (-1) × (-41) = 41 |
| 41 × 1 = 41; (41, 1) | (-41) × (-1) = 41 |
Therefore, the positive factors of 41 are: 1 and 41.
Also, the negative pair factors of 41 are (-1, -41) and (-41, -1).
Hence, the negative factors of the number 41 are -1 and -41.
How to calculate the Prime Factors of 41?
We generally use the prime factorization method to get the prime factors of a number. However, we can write the prime factors of 41 as given below.
41 = 1 × 41
We know that 41 is a prime number. We cannot factor it further since the prime numbers do not have factors other than 1 and the number itself.
Therefore, there are no other prime factors other than 41 itself.
