Factor pairs of 1024

These 6 pairs of whole numbers each multiply to give 1024.

1 × 1024 = 1024
2 × 512 = 1024
4 × 256 = 1024
8 × 128 = 1024
16 × 64 = 1024
32 × 32 = 1024

Prime factorization of 1024

Dividing 1024 by the smallest prime at each step gives its prime factorization:

1024 ÷ 2 = 512
512 ÷ 2 = 256
256 ÷ 2 = 128
128 ÷ 2 = 64
64 ÷ 2 = 32
32 ÷ 2 = 16
16 ÷ 2 = 8
8 ÷ 2 = 4
4 ÷ 2 = 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1
Result: 1024 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 2¹⁰

The distinct prime factors of 1024 are 2. To factorize any other number, use the prime factorization calculator.

What makes 1024 interesting

  • 1024 is a composite number, meaning it has more than two factors. It can be written as a product of smaller whole numbers in 6 different ways.
  • 1024 is a perfect square: 32 × 32 = 1024. This is why it has an odd number of factors (11) — the pair (32, 32) counts only once.
  • 1024 is a deficient number: its proper factors sum to 1023, which is 1 less than 1024 itself.
  • 1024 is a prime power: it is 2 raised to the power of 10. All of its factors are powers of 2.

How to find the factors of 1024 yourself

Divide 1024 by each whole number starting from 1. Whenever the division leaves no remainder, both the divisor and the quotient are factors. You only need to test up to √102432.00, because every factor above that pairs with one below it.

1024 ÷ 1 = 1024
1024 ÷ 2 = 512
1024 ÷ 4 = 256
1024 ÷ 8 = 128
1024 ÷ 16 = 64
1024 ÷ 32 = 32

Reading both columns gives every factor: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. The factor calculator does this automatically for any number.
