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 912. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 912 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 912 by 1, 912 × 1 = 912.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 912 after multiplying

2 × 456 = 912

3 × 304 = 912

4 × 228 = 912

6 × 152 = 912

8 × 114 = 912

12 × 76 = 912

19 × 48 = 912

24 × 38 = 912

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 912 are: (1, 912), (2, 456), (3, 304), (4, 228), (6, 152), (8, 114), (12, 76), (19, 48), (24, 38). 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 result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated using the simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 912 by 1, 912 ÷ 1 = 912.

Step 2: Continue dividing 912 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

912 ÷ 1 = 912

912 ÷ 2 = 456

912 ÷ 3 = 304

912 ÷ 4 = 228

912 ÷ 6 = 152

912 ÷ 8 = 114

912 ÷ 12 = 76

912 ÷ 19 = 48

912 ÷ 24 = 38

Therefore, the factors of 912 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 48, 76, 114, 152, 228, 304, 456, 912.

The factors can be found by dividing it 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 912 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors until the remainder becomes 1.

912 ÷ 2 = 456

456 ÷ 2 = 228

228 ÷ 2 = 114

114 ÷ 2 = 57

57 ÷ 3 = 19

19 ÷ 19 = 1

The prime factors of 912 are 2, 3, and 19. The prime factorization of 912 is: 2⁴ × 3 × 19.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 912 is divided by 2 to get 456.

Step 2: Now divide 456 by 2 to get 228.

Step 3: Then divide 228 by 2 to get 114.

Step 4: Divide 114 by 2 to get 57. Step 5: Divide 57 by 3 to get 19. Here, 19 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 912 is: 2⁴ × 3 × 19.

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 912: (1, 912), (2, 456), (3, 304), (4, 228), (6, 152), (8, 114), (12, 76), (19, 48), and (24, 38).

• Negative factor pairs of 912: (-1, -912), (-2, -456), (-3, -304), (-4, -228), (-6, -152), (-8, -114), (-12, -76), (-19, -48), and (-24, -38).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 912 are 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2, 3, and 19 are prime factors of 912.

• 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 912 are (1, 912), (2, 456), etc.

• Prime factorization: Expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. For example, 912 = 2⁴ × 3 × 19.

• Multiples: Numbers that can be divided by a given number without leaving a remainder. For instance, 912 is a multiple of 4.
