Finding the Factors of a Number
The factors of a number are the integers that divide the given number exactly, without leaving a remainder. Every positive integer has at least two factors: 1 and the number itself. However, many numbers have additional factors as well.
To find the factors of a number, we test each integer from 1 up to the number itself to see if it divides the number with no remainder. If it does, that integer is a factor of the number. If it does not, then that integer is not a factor.
Examples
Letβs explore some examples to understand how we can find the factors of a given number.
1. Find the factors of 12.
Answer
First, we identify the given number:
Given:
Next, we check each integer from 1 to 12 to see if it divides 12 without leaving a remainder:
Steps:
- 1 divides 12: 12 % 1 = 0 β Factor
- 2 divides 12: 12 % 2 = 0 β Factor
- 3 divides 12: 12 % 3 = 0 β Factor
- 4 divides 12: 12 % 4 = 0 β Factor
- 5 does not divide 12: 12 % 5 β 0 β Not a Factor
- 6 divides 12: 12 % 6 = 0 β Factor
- 7 does not divide 12: 12 % 7 β 0 β Not a Factor
- 8 does not divide 12: 12 % 8 β 0 β Not a Factor
- 9 does not divide 12: 12 % 9 β 0 β Not a Factor
- 10 does not divide 12: 12 % 10 β 0 β Not a Factor
- 11 does not divide 12: 12 % 11 β 0 β Not a Factor
- 12 divides 12: 12 % 12 = 0 β Factor
The integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 all divide 12 exactly, so they are factors of 12. The remaining numbers are not factors.
Result:
β΄ The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
