What makes 88 interesting

  • 88 is a composite number, meaning it has more than two factors. It can be written as a product of smaller whole numbers in 4 different ways.
  • 88 is an abundant number: its proper factors sum to 92, which is 4 more than 88 itself.

How to find the factors of 88 yourself

Divide 88 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 √889.38, because every factor above that pairs with one below it.

88 ÷ 1 = 88
88 ÷ 2 = 44
88 ÷ 4 = 22
88 ÷ 8 = 11

Reading both columns gives every factor: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88. The factor calculator does this automatically for any number.
