You must first find the smallest number that can be divided into the number you want to factor without leaving a remainder.
Whatever the result is, you divide again by a number that allows you to divide it without leaving a remainder.
You continue to divide until you have broken if you divide it any further the answer will be 1.
The numbers that you have used to divide are then lined up side by side and you place periods (multiplication symbols) between each one.
This symbolizes that in order to get the number you have just factored you must multiply the numbers in this way.

What do you do after you find the factors?
The answer depends on why you found the factors.
What r the 3 numbers that have 2 4 and 8 as factors?
Calculate the least common multiple of the three numbers. Any multiple of that has all those numbers as factors.
What are the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 20 and 36?
The GCF and the LCM of 20 and 36 are 4 and 180, respectively.To calculate the GCF of a series of numbers, you need to first figure out the prime factors of each of the numbers.The prime factors of 20 are 2, 2, and 5The prime factors of 36 are 2, 2, 3, and 3The two numbers share 2 and 2 as prime factors so the GCF = 2 x 2 = 4To calculate the Least Common Multiple (LCM), you need to first figure out the prime factors of each of the numbers, and then create a number using all the factors (but only using shared factors once).In this instance the factors required are 2, 2, 3, 3, and 5These, when multiplied together, give an product of 180
What are the factors of 1234567890?
There are 48 factors and I am not inclined to calculate and list them all. Essentially, 1234567890 = 2*32*5*3607*3803 The 48 factors are of the form 2a*3b*5c*3607d*3803e where a,c,d and e can take the values 0 or 1 and b can take the values 0, 1 or 2. Remember, though, that n0 = 1
What is the least common multiple of 5 14 and 30?
The LCM of 5, 14, and 30 is 210 Answer: You calculate the prime factors for each number, write them down, then use each prime number once (or in the highest power in which it appears in any of the factors) in the result.
What are the factors and prime factors of 730?

Is 15 a factor of 240 Give reason?
To calculate factors using this tool, you will enter positive integers, because the calculator will only allow positive values, to calculate factors of a number. if you need to calculate negative numbers, you enter the positive value, get the factors and duplicate the answer yourself with all the give positive factors as negatives like as -5 and -6 as factors of number 30.
