Factor pairs of 484

These 5 pairs of whole numbers each multiply to give 484.

1 × 484 = 484
2 × 242 = 484
4 × 121 = 484
11 × 44 = 484
22 × 22 = 484

What makes 484 interesting

  • 484 is a composite number, meaning it has more than two factors. It can be written as a product of smaller whole numbers in 5 different ways.
  • 484 is a perfect square: 22 × 22 = 484. This is why it has an odd number of factors (9) — the pair (22, 22) counts only once.
  • 484 is a deficient number: its proper factors sum to 447, which is 37 less than 484 itself.

How to find the factors of 484 yourself

Divide 484 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 √48422.00, because every factor above that pairs with one below it.

484 ÷ 1 = 484
484 ÷ 2 = 242
484 ÷ 4 = 121
484 ÷ 11 = 44
484 ÷ 22 = 22

Reading both columns gives every factor: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 121, 242, 484. The factor calculator does this automatically for any number.
