Negative factors of 1271: -1, -29, -43, and -1271.

Prime factors of 1271: 29 and 43.

Prime factorization of 1271: 29 × 43.

The sum of factors of 1271: 1 + 29 + 43 + 1271 = 1344

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 1271. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1271 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1271 by 1, 1271 × 1 = 1271.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1271 after multiplying:

29 × 43 = 1271

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1271 are: (1, 1271), (29, 43). All these factor pairs result in 1271. 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 a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1271 by 1, 1271 ÷ 1 = 1271.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1271 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1271 ÷ 1 = 1271

1271 ÷ 29 = 43

1271 ÷ 43 = 29

Therefore, the factors of 1271 are: 1, 29, 43, 1271.

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 1271 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1271 ÷ 29 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

The prime factors of 1271 are 29 and 43. The prime factorization of 1271 is: 29 × 43.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1271 is divided by 29 to get 43.

Step 2: Now divide 43 by 43 to get 1. Here, 43 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1271 is: 29 × 43.
