2. Steps to find factors of 924 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 924 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 924 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 924, which is 2. Divide 924 by 2 to obtain the quotient (462).
    924 ÷ 2 = 462
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (462).
    462 ÷ 2 = 231
    231 ÷ 3 = 77
    77 ÷ 7 = 11
    11 ÷ 11 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 924 is, 924 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 11.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 924 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 924 is, 924 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 11.

3. Find factors of 924 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 924 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 924 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 924 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 924 1 x 924 = 924
2 and 462 2 x 462 = 924
3 and 308 3 x 308 = 924
4 and 231 4 x 231 = 924
6 and 154 6 x 154 = 924
7 and 132 7 x 132 = 924
11 and 84 11 x 84 = 924
12 and 77 12 x 77 = 924
14 and 66 14 x 66 = 924
21 and 44 21 x 44 = 924
22 and 42 22 x 42 = 924
28 and 33 28 x 33 = 924

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 924. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 924 would be ( -1 , -924 ) , ( -2 , -462 ) , ( -3 , -308 ) , ( -4 , -231 ) , ( -6 , -154 ) , ( -7 , -132 ) , ( -11 , -84 ) , ( -12 , -77 ) , ( -14 , -66 ) , ( -21 , -44 ) , ( -22 , -42 ) and ( -28 , -33 ) .

How can we define factors?

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

Properties of factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 924 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 924.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 924 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, 7, 11, 12, 14, 21, 22, 28, 33, 42, 44, 66, 77, 84, 132, 154, 231, 308, 462, 924 are exact divisors of 924.

  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 21, 22, 28, 33, 42, 44, 66, 77, 84, 132, 154, 231, 308, 462, 924 are all less than or equal to 924.
