Prime factorization of 906: 2 × 3 × 151.

The sum of factors of 906: 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 151 + 302 + 453 + 906 = 1824

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 906. Identifying the numbers that are multiplied to get the number 906 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 906 by 1, 906 × 1 = 906.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 906 after multiplying

2 × 453 = 906

3 × 302 = 906

6 × 151 = 906

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 906 are: (1, 906), (2, 453), (3, 302), (6, 151). All these factor pairs result in 906. 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 the simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 906 by 1, 906 ÷ 1 = 906.

Step 2: Continue dividing 906 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

906 ÷ 1 = 906

906 ÷ 2 = 453

906 ÷ 3 = 302

906 ÷ 6 = 151

Therefore, the factors of 906 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 151, 302, 453, 906.

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

906 ÷ 2 = 453

453 ÷ 3 = 151

151 ÷ 151 = 1

The prime factors of 906 are 2, 3, and 151. The prime factorization of 906 is: 2 × 3 × 151.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 906 is divided by 2 to get 453.

Step 2: Now divide 453 by 3 to get 151.

Step 3: Here, 151 is a prime number that cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 906 is: 2 × 3 × 151.

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 906: (1, 906), (2, 453), (3, 302), (6, 151).
• Negative factor pairs of 906: (-1, -906), (-2, -453), (-3, -302), (-6, -151).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 906 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 151, 302, 453, and 906.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2, 3, and 151 are prime factors of 906.

• Prime factorization: Expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 906 is 2 × 3 × 151.

• 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 906 are (1, 906), (2, 453), etc.

• Multiple: A number that can be divided by another number without a remainder. For example, 906 is a multiple of 3.
