How to find factors of a number

1. Steps to find factors of 90 using Division Method

Find all the numbers which can divide 90 without leaving any remainder, starting from number 1 upto 45 (half of 90). The number 1 and the number (90) itself are always factors of the given number (90).
Note down all such number. All of those numbers are factors of 90.

Example: Find factors of 90

Divide 90 by 1: 90 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 2: 90 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 3: 90 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 5: 90 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 6: 90 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 9: 90 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 10: 90 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 15: 90 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 18: 90 ÷ 18 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 30: 90 ÷ 30 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 45: 90 ÷ 45 : Remainder = 0
Divide 90 by 90: 90 ÷ 90 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 90 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, and 90

2. Steps to find factors of 90 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 90 using the division method, follow these steps:

Step 1. Start dividing 90 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 90, which is 2. Divide 90 by 2 to obtain the quotient (45).
90 ÷ 2 = 45
Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (45).
45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 90 is, 90 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 90 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 90 is, 90 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5.

3. Find factors of 90 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 90 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 90 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 90 in pairs:

Factor Pair	Pair Factorization
1 and 90	1 x 90 = 90
2 and 45	2 x 45 = 90
3 and 30	3 x 30 = 90
5 and 18	5 x 18 = 90
6 and 15	6 x 15 = 90
9 and 10	9 x 10 = 90

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 90. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 90 would be ( -1 , -90 ) , ( -2 , -45 ) , ( -3 , -30 ) , ( -5 , -18 ) , ( -6 , -15 ) and ( -9 , -10 ) .

What are factors?

In mathematics, a factor is that number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of factors

Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 90 is a factor of itself.
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, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 are exact divisors of 90.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 90.
Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 90 x 0 = 0.
