What times what equals 492?

Answer 1

To find two numbers that multiply to equal 492, we can start by finding the prime factorization of 492, which is 2^2 * 3 * 41. From this, we can determine that the two numbers are 12 and 41, as 12 * 41 = 492.

Answer 2

There are an infinite number of solutions. As for positive integer solutions, let's start by factoring 492. 492=2^2*3*41

These are the divisors of 492:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 12 | 41 | 82 | 123 | 164 | 246 | 492

So:

1*492

2*246

3*164

4*123

6*82

12*41

These are all of the ways you can multiply exactly two positive integers to equal 492. There are several more that have more than two positive integers, (e.g. 3*4*41) and an infinite number of other solutions, e.g. 492=984*(1/2)=1476*(1/3).
