How to find factors of a number

1. Steps to find factors of 132 using Division Method

Find all the numbers which can divide 132 without leaving any remainder, starting from number 1 upto 66 (half of 132). The number 1 and the number (132) itself are always factors of the given number (132).
Note down all such number. All of those numbers are factors of 132.

Example: Find factors of 132

Divide 132 by 1: 132 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 2: 132 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 3: 132 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 4: 132 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 6: 132 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 11: 132 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 12: 132 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 22: 132 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 33: 132 ÷ 33 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 44: 132 ÷ 44 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 66: 132 ÷ 66 : Remainder = 0
Divide 132 by 132: 132 ÷ 132 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 132 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, and 132

2. Steps to find factors of 132 using Prime Factorization

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.

There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 132 using the division method, follow these steps:

Step 1. Start dividing 132 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 132, which is 2. Divide 132 by 2 to obtain the quotient (66).
132 ÷ 2 = 66
Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (66).
66 ÷ 2 = 33

33 ÷ 3 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 132 is, 132 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 11.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 132 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 132 is, 132 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 11.

3. Find factors of 132 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 132 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 132 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 132 in pairs:

Factor Pair	Pair Factorization
1 and 132	1 x 132 = 132
2 and 66	2 x 66 = 132
3 and 44	3 x 44 = 132
4 and 33	4 x 33 = 132
6 and 22	6 x 22 = 132
11 and 12	11 x 12 = 132

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 132. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 132 would be ( -1 , -132 ) , ( -2 , -66 ) , ( -3 , -44 ) , ( -4 , -33 ) , ( -6 , -22 ) and ( -11 , -12 ) .

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of factors

Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 132 is a factor of itself.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 132.
Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 132 x 0 = 0.
Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132 are exact divisors of 132.
Factors of 132 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132. Each factor divides 132 without leaving a remainder.
Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132 are all less than or equal to 132.
