How to Calculate the Factors of 3
Factors must be the whole numbers, which means fractions like 5.6 is not considered as a factor. We use the integers to divide 3, if there is no remainder, then the integers you use are the factors of 3. We can always dividing 3 by 1 to get started, then move to different integers.
3/1 = 3 (Factor = 1 and remainder = 0)
Note:
If we divide 56 by numbers other than 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28 and 56, there must be a remainder. Let us try 3,
2 is the remainder, then 3 is not the factors of 56
Examples
1. Find the common factors of 23 and 56
Answer:
The factors of 23 are: 1,23. (23 is a prime number)
The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28 and 56
Thus, common factor of 23 and 56 is 1.
2. Find the common factors of 52 and 56
Answer:
The factors of 52 are: 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, and 52.
The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28 and 56
Thus, common factosr of 52 and 56 are: 1, 2, 4
3. Find the common factors of 33 and 56
Answer:
The factors of 33 are: 1, 3, 11 and 33.
The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28 and 56
Thus, common factor of 23 and 56 is 1.
