How to find factors of 12 by Division Method?
To find the factors of 12 by division method, we need the find the all numbers between 1 to 12, which divide 12 with 0 remainder, then the number is factor of 12.
Pair factors of 12
- 12/1 = 12 [ 1 × 12 (1, 12) 1 and 12 is pair factor of 12]
- 12/2 = 6 [ 2 × 6 (2, 6) 2 and 6 is pair factor of 12]
- 12/3 = 4 [ 3 × 4 (3, 4) 3 and 4 is pair factor of 12]
- 12/4 = 3 [ 4 × 3 (4, 3) 4 and 3 is pair factor of 12]
- 12/6 = 2 [ 6 × 2 (6, 2) 6 and 2 is pair factor of 12]
- 12/12 = 1 [ 12 × 1 (12, 1) 12 and 1 is pair factor of 12]
As we checked numbers between 1 to 12 that are not leaving any remainder, hence we can say factors of 12 is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
Also note that, in exponential form prime factorization of 12 is written as 22 × 31 and it is a composite number.
