The multiplication method involves finding pairs of numbers whose product is 4860.

Step 1: Find the pair of numbers whose product is 4860.

Step 2: The factors are those numbers, which when multiplied, yield 4860.

Step 3: List these numbers to identify all the factors.

1 × 4860 = 4860
2 × 2430 = 4860
3 × 1620 = 4860
 

The division method involves finding numbers that fully divide 4860.

Step 1: Start with 1, which is a factor of every number.
 

Step 2: Move to the next integer and check divisibility.
 

Step 3: List the numbers that divide 4860 completely.
 

Prime factorization involves dividing 4860 by the smallest prime numbers until you reach 1.

Step 1: Divide 4860 by 2 (smallest prime).
 

Step 2: Continue dividing by 2 until you can't divide evenly.
 

Step 3: Move to the next smallest prime, 3, and repeat until you reach 1.

Example Steps: 4860 ÷ 2 = 2430

2430 ÷ 2 = 1215

1215 ÷ 3 = 405

405 ÷ 3 = 135

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1
