What are Factors of 2004?
Factors of 2004 are pairs of those numbers whose products result in 2004. These factors are either prime numbers or composite numbers.
How to Find the Factors of 2004?
To find the factors of 2004, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 2004 without leaving any remainder.
- 2004/668 = 3; therefore, 668 is a factor of 2004 and 3 is also a factor of 2004.
- 2004/12 = 167; therefore, 12 is a factor of 2004 and 167 is also a factor of 2004.

Factors of 2004 by Prime Factorization
- 2004 ÷ 2 = 1002
- 1002 ÷ 2 = 501
Further dividing 501 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 501 by the next smallest prime factor. We stop ultimately if the next prime factor doesn't exist or when we can't divide any further.
So, the prime factorization of 2004 can be written as 22 × 31 × 1671 where 2, 3, 167 are prime.
Factors of 2004 in Pairs
Pair factors of 2004 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 2004. The factors of 2004 in pairs are:
- 1 × 2004 = (1, 2004)
- 2 × 1002 = (2, 1002)
- 3 × 668 = (3, 668)
- 4 × 501 = (4, 501)
- 6 × 334 = (6, 334)
- 12 × 167 = (12, 167)
Negative pair factors of 2004 are:
- -1 × -2004 = (-1, -2004)
- -2 × -1002 = (-2, -1002)
- -3 × -668 = (-3, -668)
- -4 × -501 = (-4, -501)
- -6 × -334 = (-6, -334)
- -12 × -167 = (-12, -167)
NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.

Example 1: How many factors are there for 2004?
Solution:
The factors of 2004 are too many, therefore if we can find the prime factorization of 2004, then the total number of factors can be calculated using the formula shown below.
If the prime factorization of the number is ax × by × cz where a, b, c are prime, then the total number of factors can be given by (x + 1)(y + 1)(z + 1).
Prime Factorization of 2004 = 22 × 31 × 1671
Therefore, the total number of factors are (2 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12 -
Example 2: Find the Least Common Multiple and Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 2004 and 297.
