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 1234. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1234 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1234 by 1, 1234 × 1 = 1234.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1234 after multiplying 2 × 617 = 1234

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1234 are: (1, 1234) and (2, 617). All these factor pairs result in 1234. 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 1234 by 1, 1234 ÷ 1 = 1234.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1234 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1234 ÷ 1 = 1234

1234 ÷ 2 = 617

Therefore, the factors of 1234 are: 1, 2, 617, 1234.

The factors can be found by dividing them 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 1234 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1234 ÷ 2 = 617

617 ÷ 617 = 1

The prime factors of 1234 are 2 and 617. The prime factorization of 1234 is: 2 × 617.

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

Step 1: Firstly, 1234 is divided by 2 to get 617.

Step 2: Now, 617 is already a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 1234 is: 2 × 617.

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 1234: (1, 1234) and (2, 617).

• Negative factor pairs of 1234: (-1, -1234) and (-2, -617).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1234 are 1, 2, 617, and 1234.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 2 and 617 are prime factors of 1234.

• 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 1234 are (1, 1234) and (2, 617).

• Prime factorization: The expression of a number as the product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1234 is 2 × 617.

• Negative factors: Factors that are negative numbers. For example, -1, -2, -617, and -1234 are negative factors of 1234.
