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 1233. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1233 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1233 by 1, 1233 × 1 = 1233.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1233 after multiplying

3 × 411 = 1233

7 × 177 = 1233

21 × 59 = 1233

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1233 are: (1, 1233), (3, 411), (7, 177), (21, 59). All these factor pairs result in 1233. 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 in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1233 by 1, 1233 ÷ 1 = 1233.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1233 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1233 ÷ 1 = 1233

1233 ÷ 3 = 411

1233 ÷ 7 = 177

1233 ÷ 21 = 59

Therefore, the factors of 1233 are: 1, 3, 7, 21, 59, 177, 411, 1233.

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 1233 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1233 ÷ 3 = 411

411 ÷ 3 = 137

137 ÷ 7 = 19

19 ÷ 19 = 1

The prime factors of 1233 are 3, 7, and 59. The prime factorization of 1233 is: 3 × 7 × 59.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1233 is divided by 3 to get 411.

Step 2: Now divide 411 by 3 to get 137.

Step 3: Then divide 137 by 7 to get 19.

Step 4: Divide 19 by 19 to get 1. Here, 19 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1233 is: 3 × 7 × 59.

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 1233: (1, 1233), (3, 411), (7, 177), and (21, 59).

• Negative factor pairs of 1233: (-1, -1233), (-3, -411), (-7, -177), and (-21, -59).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1233 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 59, 177, 411, and 1233.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 3, 7, and 59 are prime factors of 1233.

• 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 1233 are (1, 1233), (3, 411), etc.

• Prime factorization: The expression of a number as a product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1233 is 3 × 7 × 59.

• Multiple: A number that can be divided by another number without a remainder. For example, 1233 is a multiple of 3, 7, and 59.
