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 1530. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1530 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1530 by 1, 1530 × 1 = 1530.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1530 after multiplying

2 × 765 = 1530

3 × 510 = 1530

5 × 306 = 1530

6 × 255 = 1530

9 × 170 = 1530

10 × 153 = 1530

15 × 102 = 1530

17 × 90 = 1530

18 × 85 = 1530

30 × 51 = 1530

34 × 45 = 1530

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1530 are: (1, 1530), (2, 765), (3, 510), (5, 306), (6, 255), (9, 170), (10, 153), (15, 102), (17, 90), (18, 85), (30, 51), and (34, 45). 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 as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

Step 1: Divide 1530 by 1, 1530 ÷ 1 = 1530.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1530 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1530 ÷ 1 = 1530

1530 ÷ 2 = 765

1530 ÷ 3 = 510

1530 ÷ 5 = 306

1530 ÷ 6 = 255

1530 ÷ 9 = 170

1530 ÷ 10 = 153

1530 ÷ 15 = 102

1530 ÷ 17 = 90

1530 ÷ 18 = 85

1530 ÷ 30 = 51

1530 ÷ 34 = 45

Therefore, the factors of 1530 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 30, 34, 45, 51, 85, 90, 153, 170, 255, 306, 510, 765, and 1530.

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 1530 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1530 ÷ 2 = 765

765 ÷ 3 = 255

255 ÷ 3 = 85

85 ÷ 5 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

The prime factors of 1530 are 2, 3, 5, and 17. The prime factorization of 1530 is: 2 × 3 × 5 × 17.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1530 is divided by 2 to get 765.

Step 2: Now divide 765 by 3 to get 255.

Step 3: Then divide 255 by 3 to get 85.

Step 4: Divide 85 by 5 to get 17. Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1530 is: 2 × 3 × 5 × 17.
