How To Find out the Factors of 32 –
We have to find the factors of number 32. Factors are the numbers which when divided by number 32 we get the factors.
When we make pair of factors the multiplication of pair of factors gives the given number.
Steps to find Factors of 32:
1) Firstly we divide given number 32 to get remainder 0.
2) After getting answers all numbers we get are called Factors of given number.
3) 1 is the only number having factor of all numbers.
4) The given number itself is the highest factor of given number.
We find factors of 32:
Here,
We get factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.
We know,
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number.
A number 32 has more than two factors.
Hence, 32 is composite number.
Also We know,
A number which is not divided by any other number is called prime number.
In factors of 32 we get 2 is the prime number.
Now we find prime factorization of 32 by using LCM.
Prime factors of 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Prime factors of 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 25
There are 6 factors of 16 i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.
When we make pairs of factors the multiplication of that two factors is the given number itself.
Pairs of factors of 32: 1 x 32, 2 x 16, 4 x 8.
Pairs of factors of 32: (1, 32) (2, 16) and (4, 8)
We know Multiplication Property,
a x b = b x a
I.e. Pairs of factors of 32: (32, 1) (16, 2)and (8, 4) is also same.
- All factors of 32 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
- Prime factor of 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 25
- Sum of all factors of 32 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 63
- Pairs of factors of 32:(1, 32) (2, 16) and (4, 8) also (32, 1) (16, 2)and (8, 4)
