The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 4032 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
4032 ÷ 2 = 2016
2016 ÷ 2 = 1008
1008 ÷ 2 = 504
504 ÷ 2 = 252
252 ÷ 2 = 126
126 ÷ 3 = 42
42 ÷ 3 = 14
14 ÷ 7 = 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1
The prime factors of 4032 are 2, 3, and 7.
The prime factorization of 4032 is: 25 × 32 × 72.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 4032 is divided by 2 to get 2016.
Step 2: Now divide 2016 by 2 to get 1008.
Step 3: Then divide 1008 by 2 to get 504.
Step 4: Divide 504 by 2 to get 252.
Step 5: Divide 252 by 2 to get 126.
Step 6: Divide 126 by 3 to get 42.
Step 7: Divide 42 by 3 to get 14.
Step 8: Divide 14 by 7 to get 2. Here, 2 is the smallest prime number, which cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 4032 is: 25 × 32 × 72.
Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A baker has 4032 cookies and wants to pack them evenly into boxes. If he packs 56 cookies per box, how many boxes does he need?
He will need 72 boxes.
To find the number of boxes needed, divide the total cookies by the cookies per box.
4032/56 = 72
A rectangular garden has an area of 4032 square meters. If the length of the garden is 84 meters, what is the width?
48 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width
4032 = 84 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 84 to the left side.
4032/84 = width
Width = 48.
A theater has 2016 seats and they want to divide them into sections with 12 seats each. How many sections will there be?
There will be 168 sections.
To find the number of sections, divide the total seats by seats per section.
2016/12 = 168
A company has 4032 employees and wants to form teams with 42 employees each. How many teams can they form?
They can form 96 teams.
Dividing the employees by the total team members, we will get the number of teams.
4032/42 = 96
There are 4032 pages to be printed, and a printer prints 7 pages per minute. How long will it take to print all the pages?
It will take 576 minutes.
Divide total pages by pages per minute.
4032/7 = 576
