How can I find all of the
factors of a number?
Start by finding all of the factor pairs
and from these you can list all of the factors
Can you show this by an example?
Yes, lets find all of the factors of 12
STEP 1 - Find All The Factor Pairs
1 × 12
2 × 6
3 × 4
STEP 2 - List All The Factors
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
So, if I list all the factor pairs in order starting with 1 × number
I can simply read off the factors by going down the left column
and then up the right column?
Yes, very good. Well spotted.
