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 1182. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1182 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1182 by 1, 1182 × 1 = 1182.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1182 after multiplying:

2 × 591 = 1182

3 × 394 = 1182

6 × 197 = 1182

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1182 are: (1, 1182), (2, 591), (3, 394), (6, 197). 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 that result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:

Step 1: Divide 1182 by 1, 1182 ÷ 1 = 1182.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1182 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1182 ÷ 1 = 1182

1182 ÷ 2 = 591

1182 ÷ 3 = 394

1182 ÷ 6 = 197

Therefore, the factors of 1182 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 197, 394, 591, 1182.

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 1182 divide the number to break it down into the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1182 ÷ 2 = 591

591 ÷ 3 = 197

197 ÷ 197 = 1

The prime factors of 1182 are 2, 3, and 197. The prime factorization of 1182 is: 2 × 3 × 197.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1182 is divided by 2 to get 591.

Step 2: Now divide 591 by 3 to get 197. Step 3: 197 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1182 is: 2 × 3 × 197.

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 1182: (1, 1182), (2, 591), (3, 394), and (6, 197).
• Negative factor pairs of 1182: (-1, -1182), (-2, -591), (-3, -394), and (-6, -197).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1182 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 197, 394, 591, and 1182.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2, 3, and 197 are prime factors of 1182.

• 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 1182 are (1, 1182), (2, 591), etc.

• Divisibility: The ability of a number to be divided by another number without a remainder.

• Prime factorization: The process of breaking down a number into its basic prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1182 is 2 × 3 × 197.
