Lareina understands factors but sometimes she has trouble finding all the factors of a number. What advice would you give to help her find all the factors of a number?

- Find the prime factorisation of the number.
- Find all the subsets of this set, including 1.
- Multiply the elements in each subset.
Step 1: 24 = 2*2*2*3
Step 2: The subsets are {1}, {2}, {2*2}, {2*2*2}, {2*3}, {2*2*3} and {2*2*2*3}
Step 3: 1, 2, 4, 8, 6, 12, 24.

What is finding the factors of a number that are all prime?
That's finding the prime factorization.
What lists factors is it called common factors or composite number or multiple?
When you are finding common factors, one method is to list the factors.
When finding the factors of 841 what is the largest factor you would test?
29
When do you use GCF and LCM?
Gcf you use when you are finding the greatest factor for the numbers. Lcm you use when you are finding the smallest multiple in the numbers factors
What is the LCM of 42 63 and 105 formula?
It is: 630 by finding the prime factors of the given numbers
How is prime factorization different from finding factors of a number?
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
What is the difference between finding the factors of a number and finding the prime factors of a number?
No difference. Once you've found the factors of a number, the prime numbers on that list are the prime factors.
What is finding the factors of a number that are all prime?
That's finding the prime factorization.
What do you call a process of finding the factors of the given products?
finding the least common denominator formula
Would you rather find all the factors of a number or find all the prime factors of a number?
Once all the prime factors of a number have been found, the number of factors the number has and what they are can be found. I'd be finding the prime factors first before finding all the factors of a number, so I'd rather find all the prime factors as it means I can stop before I have to do more work in finding all the factors.
What is the formula for finding prime factors?
k>root of p
What do you call the process of finding the factors of the given product?
factorization
What lists factors is it called common factors or composite number or multiple?
When you are finding common factors, one method is to list the factors.
Why find factor?
Finding factors is the first step in finding the GCF and the LCM. They will help you to reduce fractions, or add and subtract them.
What are the factors of subtraction?
Finding the difference of two numbers is known as subtraction.
When finding the factors of 841 what is the largest factor you would test?
29
How do you tell prime numbers without finding the factors?
There are lists of them online.
