How to find factors of a number

1. Steps to find factors of 3072 using Division Method

Find all the numbers which can divide 3072 without leaving any remainder, starting from number 1 upto 1536 (half of 3072). The number 1 and the number (3072) itself are always factors of the given number (3072).
Note down all such number. All of those numbers are factors of 3072.

Example: Find factors of 3072

Divide 3072 by 1: 3072 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
Divide 3072 by 2: 3072 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

Divide 3072 by 384: 3072 ÷ 384 : Remainder = 0
Divide 3072 by 512: 3072 ÷ 512 : Remainder = 0
Divide 3072 by 768: 3072 ÷ 768 : Remainder = 0
Divide 3072 by 1024: 3072 ÷ 1024 : Remainder = 0
Divide 3072 by 1536: 3072 ÷ 1536 : Remainder = 0
Divide 3072 by 3072: 3072 ÷ 3072 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 3072 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, and 3072

2. Steps to find factors of 3072 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 3072 using the division method, follow these steps:

Step 1. Start dividing 3072 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 3072, which is 2. Divide 3072 by 2 to obtain the quotient (1536).
3072 ÷ 2 = 1536
Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1536).
1536 ÷ 2 = 768

768 ÷ 2 = 384

384 ÷ 2 = 192

192 ÷ 2 = 96

96 ÷ 2 = 48

48 ÷ 2 = 24

24 ÷ 2 = 12

12 ÷ 2 = 6

6 ÷ 2 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 3072 is, 3072 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 3072 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 3072 is, 3072 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3.

3. Find factors of 3072 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 3072 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 3072 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 3072 in pairs:

Factor Pair	Pair Factorization
1 and 3072	1 x 3072 = 3072
2 and 1536	2 x 1536 = 3072
3 and 1024	3 x 1024 = 3072
4 and 768	4 x 768 = 3072
6 and 512	6 x 512 = 3072
8 and 384	8 x 384 = 3072
12 and 256	12 x 256 = 3072
16 and 192	16 x 192 = 3072
24 and 128	24 x 128 = 3072
32 and 96	32 x 96 = 3072
48 and 64	48 x 64 = 3072

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 3072. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 3072 would be ( -1 , -3072 ) , ( -2 , -1536 ) , ( -3 , -1024 ) , ( -4 , -768 ) , ( -6 , -512 ) , ( -8 , -384 ) , ( -12 , -256 ) , ( -16 , -192 ) , ( -24 , -128 ) , ( -32 , -96 ) and ( -48 , -64 ) .

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. 3072 is a factor of itself.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 3072.
Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 3072 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, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 3072 are exact divisors of 3072.
Factors of 3072 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 3072. Each factor divides 3072 without leaving a remainder.
Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 3072 are all less than or equal to 3072.
