There is more than one way, but the idea of a factor tree is an easy way to do it. Start with 36 itself. A number is always a factor of itself since 36x1=36. Now since you know 36 is even, divide it by 2 and you have 18. See how it did it below and continue dividing. 36=18x2=9x2x2=3x3x2x2=3x3x2x2x1 So looking at the above we have The first thing after the 36 is 18 and 2 so those are two factors. I will use[ ] for my factor list. [Factor list]=[18,2] Next we have 9x2x2 so 9 and 9x2 are factors. [ 18,2,9] Now we have 3 ( we have 9 too, but I already have it) and we have 3x2=6 and 2x2x3=12 [18,2,9,3,6 12] Now we have 1 also [1,2,3,6,9,12,18,36]

Square numbers have an odd number of factors. Ignoring the square root, half of the remaining factors will be less than the square root, half will be more. The square root of 36 is 6. Test 1 through 5. 1 is, 2 is, 3 is, 4 is, 5 is not. Divide 1 through 4 into 36.

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
