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

1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using the 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 1226. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1226 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1226 by 1, 1226 × 1 = 1226.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1226 after multiplying 2 × 613 = 1226

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1226 are: (1, 1226), (2, 613). All these factor pairs result in 1226. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Dividing the given numbers with 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 1226 by 1, 1226 ÷ 1 = 1226.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1226 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1226 ÷ 1 = 1226

1226 ÷ 2 = 613

Therefore, the factors of 1226 are: 1, 2, 613, 1226.

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 1226 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1226 ÷ 2 = 613

613 ÷ 613 = 1

The prime factors of 1226 are 2 and 613. The prime factorization of 1226 is: 2 × 613.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1226 is divided by 2 to get 613.

Step 2: Here, 613 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1226 is: 2 × 613.

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 1226: (1, 1226), (2, 613).
• Negative factor pairs of 1226: (-1, -1226), (-2, -613).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1226 are 1, 2, 613, and 1226.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 613 are prime factors of 1226.

• 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 1226 are (1, 1226), (2, 613).

• Prime factorization: The expression of a number as a product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1226 is 2 × 613.

• Multiple: A multiple of a number is the product of that number and an integer. For example, 1226 is a multiple of 2.
