What are the whole numbers factors for 52?

Answer 1

The first step is to split the number down into its prime factors. This can be done by dividing it by any obvious divisors. 52 is even so can divide by 2, so do this and we get 26. That is also even so divide by 2 again and that gives 13. This is prime so we have finished the prime factorization. Thus the prime factors of 52 are 2, 2 and 13. In order to find the other factors, we just multiply combinations of these together. Thus the integer factors for 52 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26 and 52.
