There are a few ways to go about factoring. You can decide what works best for you. I always find the prime factorization first. Let's look at a random number: 108
The prime factorization can be found by using a factor tree.
108
54,2
27,2,2
9,3,2,2
3,3,3,2,2
2^2 x 3^3 = 108
Half of the factors will be less than the square root, half greater. If the number is a perfect square, there will be an equal number of factors on either side of the square root. In this case, the square root is between 10 and 11.
Adding one to the exponents of the prime factorization and multiplying them will tell you how many factors there are. In this case, the exponents are 2 and 3. Add one to each. 3 x 4 = 12
108 has 12 factors. Six of them are 10 or less, six of them are 11 or greater. All we have to do is divide the numbers one through ten into 108. If the result (quotient) turns out to be an integer, you've found a factor pair. Knowing the rules of divisibility will make that even easier.
108 is divisible by...
1 because everything is.
2 because it's even.
3 because its digits add up to a multiple of 3.
4 because its last two digits are a multiple of 4.
6 because it's a multiple of 2 and 3.
9 because its digits add up to a multiple of 9.
That's six factors less than 10. Divide them into 108. That's the rest of them.
(108,1)(54,2)(36,3)(27,4)(18,6)(12,9)
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108
Notice that all of those numbers, except for 1, can also be found in the prime factorization.

What is the easiest way to find the square root?
the eisest way to find square root of something , is to see what number x itself = that number .... so EXAMPLE:what is the square root of 81? this is how you will find it.....so what number x itself gives me 81? it's 9 because 9x9=81 so the square root of 81 is 9

Is there a direct way to determine the number of positive factors that a given number like 1800 has?
The easiest way is through easy websites such as this: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_factors_of_mathAlternatively, you can use prime factorization. In this case, 1800 = 2*2*2*3*3*5*5. Thus any divisor contains at most three factors of 2;that means there are four possibilities: 0, 1, 2, or 3 factors of 2. Similarly there are three possibilities for the number of factors of 3 in a divisor, and the same for factors of 5. Multiplying these together, we find there are 4*3*3 = 36 positive integer divisors of 1800.In general, take the exponents in the prime factorization, add one to each of them, and multiply the resulting numbers together.
