The numbers that divide 412 evenly are known as factors of 412.

A factor of 412 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

The factors of 412 are 1, 2, 4, 103, 206, and 412.

Negative factors of 412: -1, -2, -4, -103, -206, and -412.

Prime factors of 412: 2 and 103.

Prime factorization of 412: 2² × 103.

The sum of factors of 412: 1 + 2 + 4 + 103 + 206 + 412 = 728

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 412. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 412 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 412 by 1, 412 × 1 = 412.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 412 after multiplying

2 × 206 = 412

4 × 103 = 412

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 412 are: (1, 412), (2, 206), and (4, 103).

All these factor pairs result in 412.

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 a whole number as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method 

Step 1: Divide 412 by 1, 412 ÷ 1 = 412.

Step 2: Continue dividing 412 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

412 ÷ 1 = 412

412 ÷ 2 = 206

412 ÷ 4 = 103

Therefore, the factors of 412 are: 1, 2, 4, 103, 206, 412.

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

412 ÷ 2 = 206

206 ÷ 2 = 103

103 ÷ 103 = 1

The prime factors of 412 are 2 and 103.

The prime factorization of 412 is: 2² × 103.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 412 is divided by 2 to get 206.

Step 2: Now divide 206 by 2 to get 103.

Step 3: 103 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.

So, the prime factorization of 412 is: 2² × 103.

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 412: (1, 412), (2, 206), and (4, 103).

Negative factor pairs of 412: (-1, -412), (-2, -206), and (-4, -103).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 412 are 1, 2, 4, 103, 206, and 412.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 103 are prime factors of 412.

• 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 412 are (1, 412), (2, 206), etc.

• Prime factorization: Expressing a number as a product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 412 is 2² × 103.

• Multiplication method: A method to find factors by identifying pairs of numbers that multiply to a given number. For example, factors of 412 can be found using pairs like (1, 412), (2, 206).
