List All Factors Of 12

All Factors of a Number

Go straight to Factors Calculator.

Factors are the numbers you multiply together
to go some other number:

There can be many factors of a number.

Instance: All the factors of 12

2 × 6 = 12,
but also iii × 4 = 12,
and of class ane × 12 = 12.

So 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 are factors of 12.

And as well -one,-2,-3,-4,-6 and -12, because you get a positive number when you multiply two negatives, such every bit (-2)×(-6) = 12

Answer: 1, 2, three, iv, 6, 12, -one, -ii, -3, -four, -6, -12

No Fractions!

Factors are usually positive or negative whole numbers (no fractions), and then ½ × 24 = 12 is not listed.

All Factors Reckoner

This figurer will notice all the factors of a number (non just the prime factors). It works on numbers upwardly to four,294,967,295. Try it and run across.

Note: Negative numbers are also included, as multiplying ii negatives makes a positive.

How Can I Do It Myself?

Work from the exterior in!

Instance: All the factors of xx.

Start at 1: i×20=20, so put 1 at the start, and put its "partner" 20 at the other end:

Then try 2. two×10=20 works, so put in 2 and x:

And then attempt 3. 3 doesn't work (3×vi=18 is as well low, iii×7=21 is too high).

So try 4. four×5=20 works, then put them in:

There is no whole number between iv and five and so you are done! (Don't forget the negative ones).

ane	2	4	5	10	twenty
-1	-2	-4	-five	-x	-20

Is That How The Calculator Works?

Actually the calculator beginning works out the prime factors, then combines them together to discover all other numbers that can be multiplied to attain your number.
