  • Prime factors and prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 3888. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 3888 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 3888 by 1, 3888 × 1 = 3888.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 3888 after multiplying.

 

For example: 2 × 1944 = 3888

3 × 1296 = 3888

4 × 972 = 3888

6 × 648 = 3888

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 3888 include: (1, 3888), (2, 1944), (3, 1296), (4, 972), (6, 648), among others. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 3888 by 1, 3888 ÷ 1 = 3888.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 3888 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

3888 ÷ 1 = 3888

3888 ÷ 2 = 1944

3888 ÷ 3 = 1296

3888 ÷ 4 = 972

3888 ÷ 6 = 648

 

Therefore, the factors of 3888 include numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and many others.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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 3888 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

3888 ÷ 2 = 1944

1944 ÷ 2 = 972

972 ÷ 2 = 486

486 ÷ 2 = 243

243 ÷ 3 = 81

81 ÷ 3 = 27

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

 

The prime factors of 3888 are 2 and 3.

 

The prime factorization of 3888 is: 2^5 × 3^5.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

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

 

Step 1: Firstly, 3888 is divided by 2 to get 1944.

 

Step 2: Now divide 1944 by 2 to get 972.

 

Step 3: Then divide 972 by 2 to get 486.

 

Step 4: Divide 486 by 2 to get 243.

 

Step 5: Divide 243 by 3 to get 81.

 

Step 6: Continue dividing by 3 until you reach 1. So, the prime factorization of 3888 is: 25 × 35.

 

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 3888: (1, 3888), (2, 1944), (3, 1296), (4, 972), (6, 648), among others.

 

Negative factor pairs of 3888: (-1, -3888), (-2, -1944), (-3, -1296), (-4, -972), (-6, -648), among others.
