Negative factors of 836: -1, -2, -4, -11, -19, -22, -38, -44, -76, -209, -418, and -836.

Prime factors of 836: 2, 11, and 19.

Prime factorization of 836: 2² × 11 × 19.

The sum of factors of 836: 1 + 2 + 4 + 11 + 19 + 22 + 38 + 44 + 76 + 209 + 418 + 836 = 1680

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 836. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 836 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 836 by 1, 836 × 1 = 836.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 836 after multiplying

2 × 418 = 836

4 × 209 = 836

11 × 76 = 836

19 × 44 = 836

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 836 are: (1, 836), (2, 418), (4, 209), (11, 76), (19, 44).

All these factor pairs result in 836.

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 a simple division method

Step 1: Divide 836 by 1, 836 ÷ 1 = 836.

Step 2: Continue dividing 836 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

836 ÷ 1 = 836

836 ÷ 2 = 418

836 ÷ 4 = 209

836 ÷ 11 = 76

836 ÷ 19 = 44

Therefore, the factors of 836 are: 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 418, 836.

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 836 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

836 ÷ 2 = 418

418 ÷ 2 = 209

209 ÷ 11 = 19

19 ÷ 19 = 1

The prime factors of 836 are 2, 11, and 19.

The prime factorization of 836 is: 2² × 11 × 19.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 836 is divided by 2 to get 418.

Step 2: Now divide 418 by 2 to get 209.

Step 3: Then divide 209 by 11 to get 19. Here, 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 836 is: 2² × 11 × 19.

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 836: (1, 836), (2, 418), (4, 209), (11, 76), and (19, 44).

• Negative factor pairs of 836: (-1, -836), (-2, -418), (-4, -209), (-11, -76), and (-19, -44).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 836 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 418, and 836.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2, 11, and 19 are prime factors of 836.

• 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 836 are (1, 836), (2, 418), etc.

• Prime factorization: The process of expressing a number as the product of prime numbers. For instance, 836 is expressed as 2² × 11 × 19.

• Division method: A method to find factors by dividing the original number by whole numbers to check for a remainder of zero.
