2. Steps to find factors of 2268 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 2268 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 2268 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 2268, which is 2. Divide 2268 by 2 to obtain the quotient (1134).
    2268 ÷ 2 = 1134
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1134).
    1134 ÷ 2 = 567
    567 ÷ 3 = 189
    189 ÷ 3 = 63
    63 ÷ 3 = 21
    21 ÷ 3 = 7
    7 ÷ 7 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 2268 is, 2268 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 2268 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 2268 is, 2268 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

3. Find factors of 2268 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 2268 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 2268 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 2268 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 2268 1 x 2268 = 2268
2 and 1134 2 x 1134 = 2268
3 and 756 3 x 756 = 2268
4 and 567 4 x 567 = 2268
6 and 378 6 x 378 = 2268
7 and 324 7 x 324 = 2268
9 and 252 9 x 252 = 2268
12 and 189 12 x 189 = 2268
14 and 162 14 x 162 = 2268
18 and 126 18 x 126 = 2268
21 and 108 21 x 108 = 2268
27 and 84 27 x 84 = 2268
28 and 81 28 x 81 = 2268
36 and 63 36 x 63 = 2268
42 and 54 42 x 54 = 2268

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 2268. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 2268 would be ( -1 , -2268 ) , ( -2 , -1134 ) , ( -3 , -756 ) , ( -4 , -567 ) , ( -6 , -378 ) , ( -7 , -324 ) , ( -9 , -252 ) , ( -12 , -189 ) , ( -14 , -162 ) , ( -18 , -126 ) , ( -21 , -108 ) , ( -27 , -84 ) , ( -28 , -81 ) , ( -36 , -63 ) and ( -42 , -54 ) .
