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 1241. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1241 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1241 by 1, 1241 × 1 = 1241.

There are no other numbers that can be multiplied to get 1241 without a remainder.

Therefore, the positive factor pair of 1241 is: (1, 1241). 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 1241 by 1, 1241 ÷ 1 = 1241.

Step 2: Check for other numbers until 1241 itself.

Since 1241 is a prime number, it only divides evenly by 1 and itself. Therefore, the factors of 1241 are: 1 and 1241.

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 1241 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

Since 1241 is a prime number, it cannot be broken further. The prime factorization of 1241 is: 1241.

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 1241 is a prime number, it does not break down further into smaller prime factors using a factor tree.

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 pair of 1241: (1, 1241).
• Negative factor pair of 1241: (-1, -1241).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1241 are 1 and 1241.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 1241 is a prime factor of itself.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pair of 1241 is (1, 1241).

• Prime number: A number that has no divisors other than 1 and itself. For example, 1241 is a prime number.

• Multiplication method: A method to find factors by identifying pairs of numbers that multiply to the original number.
