How to find factors of a number

1. Steps to find factors of 960 using Division Method

Find all the numbers which can divide 960 without leaving any remainder, starting from number 1 upto 480 (half of 960). The number 1 and the number (960) itself are always factors of the given number (960).
Note down all such number. All of those numbers are factors of 960.

2. Steps to find factors of 960 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 960 using the division method, follow these steps:

Step 1. Start dividing 960 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 960, which is 2. Divide 960 by 2 to obtain the quotient (480).
960 ÷ 2 = 480
Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (480).
480 ÷ 2 = 240

240 ÷ 2 = 120

120 ÷ 2 = 60

60 ÷ 2 = 30

30 ÷ 2 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 960 is, 960 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 960 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 960 is, 960 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5.

3. Find factors of 960 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 960 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 960 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 960 in pairs:

Factor Pair	Pair Factorization
1 and 960	1 x 960 = 960
2 and 480	2 x 480 = 960
3 and 320	3 x 320 = 960
4 and 240	4 x 240 = 960
5 and 192	5 x 192 = 960
6 and 160	6 x 160 = 960
8 and 120	8 x 120 = 960
10 and 96	10 x 96 = 960
12 and 80	12 x 80 = 960
15 and 64	15 x 64 = 960
16 and 60	16 x 60 = 960
20 and 48	20 x 48 = 960
24 and 40	24 x 40 = 960
30 and 32	30 x 32 = 960

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 960. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 960 would be ( -1 , -960 ) , ( -2 , -480 ) , ( -3 , -320 ) , ( -4 , -240 ) , ( -5 , -192 ) , ( -6 , -160 ) , ( -8 , -120 ) , ( -10 , -96 ) , ( -12 , -80 ) , ( -15 , -64 ) , ( -16 , -60 ) , ( -20 , -48 ) , ( -24 , -40 ) and ( -30 , -32 ) .

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. 960 is a factor of itself.
1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 960.
Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 960 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, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960 are exact divisors of 960.
Factors of 960 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960. Each factor divides 960 without leaving a remainder.
Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960 are all less than or equal to 960.
