How do I work out factors?

How to Find Factors of a Number?

1. Find all the numbers less than or equal to the given number.
2. Divide the given number by each of the numbers.
3. The divisors that give the remainder to be 0 are the factors of the number.

What is the easiest way to learn factors?

The quickest way to find the factors of a number is to divide it by the smallest prime number (bigger than 1) that goes into it evenly with no remainder. Continue this process with each number you get, until you reach 1.

What is a factor and multiple chain?

Remember a multiple is a number in the times table and a factor is a number which is multiplied together to make the multiple. e.g. 12 is a multiple of 6 because 12 is in the 6 times table. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 are factors of 12 because they multiply together to make 12.

How to create a factor and multiple chain?

Factors and Multiples Chain Choose a starting number from a 1-100 square and cross it out. Then choose a factor or multiple of that number. Keep crossing out factors or multiples of the last number in the chain.

Can a number be a whole number in a factor chain?

Perhaps you could make some statements about some of the numbers in the chain using the words “factor” and “multiple”. In these chains, each blue number can range from up to and must be a whole number. You may like to experiment with this spreadsheet which allows you to enter numbers in each box.

How is the working load limit of a chain determined?

Chains have a working load limit- or WLL- of approximately one third of their break strengths (the amount of force the chains can withstand before they break). How to determine a chain’s working load limit The WLL of a chain is determined by both the grade and the diameter.

Which is the best way to work out factors?

A factor is a number that divides evenly into another. All numbers are guaranteed two factors, themselves and 1, although they may have many more. The best way to work out factors is by trial and error, although this can be tedious at times.
