3 <p>Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 118, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.</p>

4 <h2>What are the Factors of 118?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>numbers</a>that divide 118 evenly are known as<a>factors</a>of 118. A factor of 118 is a number that divides the number without<a>remainder</a>. The factors of 118 are 1, 2, 59, and 118.</p>

6 <p><strong>Negative factors of 118:</strong>-1, -2, -59, and -118.</p>

7 <p><strong>Prime factors of 118:</strong>2 and 59.</p>

8 <p><strong>Prime factorization of 118:</strong>2 × 59.</p>

9 <p><strong>The<a>sum</a>of factors of 118:</strong>1 + 2 + 59 + 118 = 180</p>

10 <h2>How to Find Factors of 118?</h2>

11 <p>Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:</p>

12 <ul><li>Finding factors using<a>multiplication</a></li>

13 <li>Finding factors using<a>division</a>method</li>

14 <li>Prime factors and Prime factorization</li>

15 </ul><h2>Finding Factors Using Multiplication</h2>

16 <p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 118. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 118 is the multiplication method.</p>

17 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Multiply 118 by 1, 118 × 1 = 118.</p>

18 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check for other numbers that give 118 after multiplying 2 × 59 = 118</p>

19 <p>Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 118 are: (1, 118) and (2, 59).</p>

20 <p>All these factor pairs result in 118. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

47 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

48 <p>There are 59 books and 118 pages. How will they divide it equally?</p>

49 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

50 <p>They will get 2 pages each.</p>

51 <h3>Explanation</h3>

52 <p>To divide the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages by the number of books.</p>

53 <p>118/59 = 2</p>

54 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

55 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

56 <p>A rectangular painting has a width of 2 meters and a total area of 118 square meters. Find the length?</p>

57 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

58 <p>59 meters.</p>

59 <h3>Explanation</h3>

60 <p>To find the length of the painting, we use the formula,</p>

61 <p>Area = length × width</p>

62 <p>118 = length × 2</p>

63 <p>To find the value of length, we need to shift 2 to the left side.</p>
