Prime factorization of 962

Divide by the smallest prime that fits, and keep going until the quotient is 1:

The primes you divided by give 962 = 2 × 13 × 37. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 8.

Properties of 962

• 962 is a composite number.
• The sum of all its factors is 1,596; the sum of its proper factors (excluding 962) is 634, which makes it a deficient number (its proper factors add up to less than itself).
• 962 is not a perfect square, so its factors pair up evenly.
• Multiples of 962 include 1,924, 2,886, 3,848, 4,810 and so on.
