What times what equals 492?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a lovely little math puzzle we have here! Let's see, to find out what times what equals 492, we can break it down into factors. One possible pair could be 12 times 41, or 4 times 123. There are many combinations to discover, so let's embrace the joy of exploring numbers together!

Answer 2

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 3

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).
