There are different ways in which we can find out the numbers that would divide a number completely or, in other words, its factors. Here are some ways to find the factors: 
 

In this method, we will try to find such pairs of numbers, in which the product of the pair would give the original number as the result. We should follow the steps mentioned below to find the factors.

Step 1: Identify such a pair of numbers whose multiplication with each other would give out 576 as the product.

Step 2: List such pairs of numbers one by one. 

Here, the pairs factors of 576 are (1, 576), (2, 288), (3, 192), (4, 144), (6, 96), (8, 72), (9, 64), (12, 48), (16, 36), (18, 32), (24, 24).
 

In the division method, we need to find such numbers that will divide a number evenly without leaving any remainder.

576 / 1= 576
576 / 2 = 288
576 / 3 = 192
576 / 4 = 144
576 / 6 = 96
576 / 8 = 72    
576 / 9 = 64
576 / 12 = 48
576 / 16 = 36
576 / 18 = 32
576 / 24 = 24
576 / 32 = 18
576 / 36 = 16
576 / 48 = 12
576 / 64 = 9
576 / 72 = 8
576 / 96 = 6
576 / 144 = 4
576 / 192 = 3
576 / 288 = 2
576 / 576 = 1

All the 21 numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, 72, 96, 144, 192, 288, and 576 are the factors of 576.
 

In the method of prime factorization, a number is expressed as a product of its prime factors. For example, 576 is expressed as 2⁶ × 3². Here, 2 and 3 are the prime numbers that would divide 576 evenly. Hence, they are called the prime factors of 576.

Factor Tree: A factor tree is a graphical representation to break a composite number into prime factors. Each branch of the figure displays a number's prime factors.

Factor Pairs:The factor pairs of a number refer to the pairs of numbers which, when multiplied, will give the original number as a product.

Positive factors of 576 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, 72, 96, 144, 192, 288, and 576

Negative factors of 576 : -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -9, -12, -16, -18, -24, -32, -36, -48, -64, -72, -96, -144, -192, -288, and -576.

• Prime Numbers: The numbers that have no other factors other than 1 & the number itself.

• Composite Numbers: Those numbers that have more than 2 factors.

• Negative Factors: For each positive factor of a number, there is a negative counterpart of the number, which is called the negative factor.

• Prime Factorization: The process of breaking down a composite number into products of its prime factors is called prime factorization.
