To find the factors of given number using prime factorization.
Answer to Problem 58E
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: 240
Formula used: Calculate the factors by dividing every possible number. Then take the result from that and divide that by the smallest prime number. Repeat this process until you end up with 1.
Calculation:
Since the Factors of 240 are all the numbers that can evenly divide into 240, simply need to divide 240 by all numbers up to 240 to see which ones result in an even quotient.
The Positive Factors of 240 are therefore all the numbers used to divide (divisors) above to get an even number. Here is the list of all Positive Factors of 240 in numerical order:
