2. Steps to find factors of 2916 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 2916 using the division method, follow these steps:

Step 1. Start dividing 2916 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 2916, which is 2. Divide 2916 by 2 to obtain the quotient (1458).
2916 ÷ 2 = 1458
Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1458).
1458 ÷ 2 = 729

729 ÷ 3 = 243

243 ÷ 3 = 81

81 ÷ 3 = 27

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 2916 is, 2916 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 2916 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 2916 is, 2916 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3.

3. Find factors of 2916 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 2916 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 2916 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 2916 in pairs:

Factor Pair	Pair Factorization
1 and 2916	1 x 2916 = 2916
2 and 1458	2 x 1458 = 2916
3 and 972	3 x 972 = 2916
4 and 729	4 x 729 = 2916
6 and 486	6 x 486 = 2916
9 and 324	9 x 324 = 2916
12 and 243	12 x 243 = 2916
18 and 162	18 x 162 = 2916
27 and 108	27 x 108 = 2916
36 and 81	36 x 81 = 2916
54 and 54	54 x 54 = 2916

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 2916. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 2916 would be ( -1 , -2916 ) , ( -2 , -1458 ) , ( -3 , -972 ) , ( -4 , -729 ) , ( -6 , -486 ) , ( -9 , -324 ) , ( -12 , -243 ) , ( -18 , -162 ) , ( -27 , -108 ) , ( -36 , -81 ) and ( -54 , -54 ) .

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of factors

Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 2916 is a factor of itself.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 2916.
Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 2916 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, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 729, 972, 1458, 2916 are exact divisors of 2916.
Factors of 2916 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 729, 972, 1458, 2916. Each factor divides 2916 without leaving a remainder.
Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 729, 972, 1458, 2916 are all less than or equal to 2916.
