Factors of 96 that add upto 28

Steps to find factors of 96 that add upto 28

• Find all factors.
• Then we find the sum of combinations of factors.
• Note down the combination of factors with sum as 28, and read off the answer!

Steps to find Factors of 96

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 96 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 48 (half of 96). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  96 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 24 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 32 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 48 : Remainder = 0

  96 ÷ 96 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 96 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, and 96

What are factors?

In mathematics, the term factor is used for that number which divides the other number to leave 0 as a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Factors and multiples are two different terms. Factors are those number which when multiplied together give the number itself, on the other hand multiples are what we get after multiplying the same number with and other number.
• Prime factors are those factors which are further divisible by only two numbers i.e. 1 ans the factor itself.
• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 96 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, 96 are exact divisors of 96.
