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 914. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 914 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 914 by 1, 914 × 1 = 914.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 914 after multiplying 2 × 457 = 914

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 914 are: (1, 914) and (2, 457). All these factor pairs result in 914. 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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 914 by 1, 914 ÷ 1 = 914.

Step 2: Continue dividing 914 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

914 ÷ 1 = 914

914 ÷ 2 = 457

Therefore, the factors of 914 are: 1, 2, 457, 914.

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. 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 914 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

914 ÷ 2 = 457

457 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. The prime factors of 914 are 2 and 457. The prime factorization of 914 is: 2 × 457.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 914 is divided by 2 to get 457.

Step 2: Since 457 is a prime number, it cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 914 is: 2 × 457.

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 914: (1, 914) and (2, 457).

• Negative factor pairs of 914: (-1, -914) and (-2, -457).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 914 are 1, 2, 457, and 914.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 457 are prime factors of 914.

• 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 914 are (1, 914) and (2, 457).

• Prime factorization: The expression of a number as a product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 914 is 2 × 457.

• Multiplication method: A way to find factor pairs by determining pairs of numbers that multiply to the original number, such as finding that 2 × 457 = 914.
