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 1574. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1574 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1574 by 1, 1574 × 1 = 1574.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1574 after multiplying

2 × 787 = 1574

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1574 are: (1, 1574) and (2, 787). All these factor pairs result in 1574. 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 1574 by 1, 1574 ÷ 1 = 1574.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1574 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1574 ÷ 1 = 1574

1574 ÷ 2 = 787

Therefore, the factors of 1574 are: 1, 2, 787, 1574.

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 1574 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1574 ÷ 2 = 787

787 ÷ 787 = 1

The prime factors of 1574 are 2 and 787. The prime factorization of 1574 is: 2 × 787.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1574 is divided by 2 to get 787.

Step 2: Since 787 is already a prime number, it cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1574 is: 2 × 787.

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 1574: (1, 1574) and (2, 787).

• Negative factor pairs of 1574: (-1, -1574) and (-2, -787).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1574 are 1, 2, 787, and 1574.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 787 are prime factors of 1574.

• 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 1574 are (1, 1574) and (2, 787).

• Prime factorization: The process of breaking down a number into its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1574 is 2 × 787.

• Multiple: A number that can be divided by another number without a remainder. For example, 1574 is a multiple of 2.
