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

• Finding factors using multiplication
• Finding factors using division method
• Prime factors and Prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1232. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1232 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1232 by 1, 1232 × 1 = 1232.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1232 after multiplying

2 × 616 = 1232

4 × 308 = 1232

8 × 154 = 1232

11 × 112 = 1232

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1232 are: (1, 1232), (2, 616), (4, 308), (8, 154), (11, 112). All these factor pairs result in 1232. 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 by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1232 by 1, 1232 ÷ 1 = 1232.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1232 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1232 ÷ 1 = 1232

1232 ÷ 2 = 616

1232 ÷ 4 = 308

1232 ÷ 8 = 154

1232 ÷ 11 = 112

Therefore, the factors of 1232 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 28, 44, 56, 77, 88, 154, 176, 308, 616, and 1232.

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. 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 1232 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1232 ÷ 2 = 616

616 ÷ 2 = 308

308 ÷ 2 = 154

154 ÷ 2 = 77

77 ÷ 7 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

The prime factors of 1232 are 2, 7, and 11. The prime factorization of 1232 is: 2⁴ × 7 × 11.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1232 is divided by 2 to get 616.

Step 2: Now divide 616 by 2 to get 308.

Step 3: Then divide 308 by 2 to get 154.

Step 4: Divide 154 by 2 to get 77.

Step 5: Divide 77 by 7 to get 11, which is a prime number that cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1232 is: 2^4 × 7 × 11.

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

• Positive factor pairs of 1232: (1, 1232), (2, 616), (4, 308), (8, 154), (11, 112).

• Negative factor pairs of 1232: (-1, -1232), (-2, -616), (-4, -308), (-8, -154), (-11, -112).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1232 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 28, 44, 56, 77, 88, 154, 176, 308, 616, and 1232.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2, 7, and 11 are prime factors of 1232.

• 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 1232 are (1, 1232), (2, 616), etc.
