Prime factors of 932: 2 and 233.

Prime factorization of 932: 2² × 233.

The sum of factors of 932: 1 + 2 + 4 + 233 + 466 + 932 = 1638

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 932. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 932 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 932 by 1, 932 × 1 = 932.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 932 after multiplying

2 × 466 = 932

4 × 233 = 932

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 932 are: (1, 932), (2, 466), (4, 233). All these factor pair result in 932. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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

Step 1: Divide 932 by 1, 932 ÷ 1 = 932.

Step 2: Continue dividing 932 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

932 ÷ 1 = 932

932 ÷ 2 = 466

932 ÷ 4 = 233

Therefore, the factors of 932 are: 1, 2, 4, 233, 466, 932.

The factors can be found by dividing it with a 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 932 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

932 ÷ 2 = 466

466 ÷ 2 = 233

233 ÷ 233 = 1

The prime factors of 932 are 2 and 233. The prime factorization of 932 is: 2² × 233.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 932 is divided by 2 to get 466.

Step 2: Now divide 466 by 2 to get 233. Step 3: Since 233 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 932 is: 2² × 233.

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 932: (1, 932), (2, 466), (4, 233).

• Negative factor pairs of 932: (-1, -932), (-2, -466), (-4, -233).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 932 are 1, 2, 4, 233, 466, and 932.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 233 are prime factors of 932.

• 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 932 are (1, 932), (2, 466), (4, 233).

• Prime factorization: Breaking down a number into its smallest prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 932 is 2² × 233.

• Division method: A method to find factors by dividing the number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero.
