Finding factors

Find all the factors in multiplication. The least factor of a number is always
1 and the greatest factor of a number is always the number itself.

6=1^6    F  actors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6
6=2^3

the least the greatest

There are always numbers formed when multiplying two numbers that are
paired or multiply the numbers in the middle twice.

 Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6  1^6=6, 2^3=6

 Factors of 9: 1,    3,    9  1^9=9, 3^3=9

Example 1 Find all the factors.

⑴ Factors of 12:
1^12 =12
2^ 6 =12
3^ 4 =12

⑵ Factors of 24:
1^24= 24

2^12= 24

3^ 8 = 24

4^ 6 = 24
