<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 74. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 74 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 74 by 1, 74 × 1 = 74. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 74 after multiplying 2 × 37 = 74 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 74 are: (1, 74) and (2, 37). All these factor pair result in 74. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<p>Dividing the given numbers with the<a>whole numbers</a>until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which results as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 74 by 1, 74 ÷ 1 = 74. Step 2: Continue dividing 74 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 74 ÷ 1 = 74 74 ÷ 2 = 37 Therefore, the factors of 74 are: 1, 2, 37, 74.</p>

<p>The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 74 is divided by 2 to get 37. Step 2: 37 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 74 is: 2 × 37. Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs. Positive factor pairs of 74: (1, 74) and (2, 37). Negative factor pairs of 74: (-1, -74) and (-2, -37).</p>
