The sum of factors of 1228: 1 + 2 + 4 + 307 + 614 + 1228 = 2156

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using division method
3. Prime factors and Prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1228. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1228 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1228 by 1, 1228 × 1 = 1228.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1228 after multiplying

2 × 614 = 1228

4 × 307 = 1228

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1228 are: (1, 1228), (2, 614), and (4, 307). All these factor pairs result in 1228. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Dividing the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1228 by 1, 1228 ÷ 1 = 1228.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1228 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1228 ÷ 1 = 1228

1228 ÷ 2 = 614

1228 ÷ 4 = 307

Therefore, the factors of 1228 are: 1, 2, 4, 307, 614, 1228.

The factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

• Using prime factorization
• Using factor tree

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 1228 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1228 ÷ 2 = 614

614 ÷ 2 = 307

307 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. The prime factors of 1228 are 2 and 307. The prime factorization of 1228 is: 2² × 307.

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -

Step 1: Firstly, 1228 is divided by 2 to get 614.

Step 2: Now divide 614 by 2 to get 307.

Step 3: 307 is already a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1228 is: 2² × 307.

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

• Positive factor pairs of 1228: (1, 1228), (2, 614), and (4, 307).
• Negative factor pairs of 1228: (-1, -1228), (-2, -614), and (-4, -307).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1228 are 1, 2, 4, 307, 614, and 1228.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 307 are prime factors of 1228.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pairs of 1228 are (1, 1228), (2, 614), and (4, 307).

• Prime factorization: Writing a number as the product of its prime factors. For 1228, it is 2² × 307.

• Multiple: A number that can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder. For example, 1228 is a multiple of 2.
