IDENTIFYING
FACTORS OF GIVEN
NUMBERS
PREPARED BY: SED SILVA
 • Factoring is finding numbers to be
multiplied to get a number. This
skill is useful in real life. Common
applications include time,
especially when you want to divide
your day to do different activities.
FACTORING Another is working with money,
especially in changing a large
amount into smaller denominations
or even when you want to share
your favorite food equally to your
group of friends.
ANALYZE THIS PROBLEM:
• Chino helped his father in arranging 12 mangoes. They planned to put it in a plate.
What are the possible arrangements of mangoes?
FACTOR
• Factors of a given number
are any two numbers that
when multiplied, gives a
number that is the product.
• Therefore, the factors of
the product 12 are 1, 2, 3,
4, 6, and 12.

EXAMPLE
LET'S TRY TO ANSWER!
WRITE THE FACTORS OF
THE GIVEN NUMBER.

Example: 18
Product of 2 numbers:
1 X 18 = 18
2 X 9 = 18
3 X 6 = 18
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
 24
Product of 2 numbers:
1 X 24 = 24
2 X 12 = 24
3 X 8 = 24
4 X 6 = 24
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
 36
Product of 2 numbers:
1 X 36 = 36
2 X 18 = 36
3 X 12 = 36
4 X 9 = 36
6 X 6 = 36
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
 45
Product of 2 numbers:
1 X 45 = 45
3 X 15 = 45
5 X 9 = 45

Factors: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
 63
Product of 2 numbers:
1 X 63 = 63
3 X 21 = 63
7 X 9 = 63
Factors: 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63
 81
Product of 2 numbers:
1 X 81= 81
3 X 27 = 81
9 X 9 = 81

Factors: 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
REMEMBER!

Factors of a given number

are any two numbers that To find the factors of a
when multiplied gives a number, use a factor tree
number that is the or listing method.
