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 1227. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1227 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1227 by 1, 1227 × 1 = 1227.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1227 after multiplying 3 × 409 = 1227

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1227 are: (1, 1227) and (3, 409). All these factor pairs result in 1227. 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1227 by 1, 1227 ÷ 1 = 1227.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1227 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1227 ÷ 1 = 1227

1227 ÷ 3 = 409

Therefore, the factors of 1227 are: 1, 3, 409, 1227.

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 1227 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1227 ÷ 3 = 409

409 ÷ 409 = 1

The prime factors of 1227 are 3 and 409. The prime factorization of 1227 is: 3 × 409.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1227 is divided by 3 to get 409.

Step 2: Now divide 409 by 409 to get 1. Here, 409 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1227 is: 3 × 409.

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 1227: (1, 1227) and (3, 409).
• Negative factor pairs of 1227: (-1, -1227) and (-3, -409).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1227 are 1, 3, 409, and 1227.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 3 and 409 are prime factors of 1227.

• 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 1227 are (1, 1227) and (3, 409).

• Prime factorization: The process of expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1227 is 3 × 409.

• Multiplication method: A method of finding factors by identifying pairs of numbers that, when multiplied, result in the original number. For example, using the multiplication method for 1227, we find (3, 409).
