Prime factorization of 994

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

The primes you divided by give 994 = 2 × 7 × 71. From the exponents you can also count the factors without listing them: (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 8.

Properties of 994

• 994 is a composite number.
• The sum of all its factors is 1,728; the sum of its proper factors (excluding 994) is 734, which makes it a deficient number (its proper factors add up to less than itself).
• 994 is not a perfect square, so its factors pair up evenly.
• Multiples of 994 include 1,988, 2,982, 3,976, 4,970 and so on.
