4 <h2>What are the Factors of 996?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>numbers</a>that divide 996 evenly are known as<a>factors</a>of 996.</p>

6 <p>A factor of 996 is a number that divides the number without<a>remainder</a>.</p>

7 <p>The factors of 996 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, and 996.</p>

8 <p><strong>Negative factors of 996:</strong>-1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12, -83, -166, -249, -332, -498, and -996.</p>

9 <p><strong>Prime factors of 996:</strong>2, 3, and 83.</p>

10 <p><strong>Prime factorization of 996:</strong>22 × 3 × 83.</p>

11 <p>The<a>sum</a>of factors of 996: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 + 83 + 166 + 249 + 332 + 498 + 996 = 2352</p>

12 <h2>How to Find Factors of 996?</h2>

13 <p>Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:</p>

14 <ul><li>Finding factors using<a>multiplication</a> </li>

15 <li>Finding factors using<a>division</a>method </li>

16 <li>Prime factors and<a>prime factorization</a></li>

17 </ul><h3>Finding Factors Using Multiplication</h3>

18 <p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 996. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 996 is the multiplication method.</p>

19 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Multiply 996 by 1, 996 × 1 = 996.</p>

20 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Check for other numbers that give 996 after multiplying</p>

21 <p>2 × 498 = 996</p>

22 <p>3 × 332 = 996</p>

23 <p>4 × 249 = 996</p>

24 <p>6 × 166 = 996</p>

25 <p>12 × 83 = 996</p>

26 <p>Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 996 are: (1, 996), (2, 498), (3, 332), (4, 249), (6, 166), (12, 83).</p>

27 <p>For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

71 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

72 <p>A rectangular garden has a length of 83 meters and a total area of 996 square meters. What is the width?</p>

73 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

74 <p>12 meters.</p>

75 <h3>Explanation</h3>

76 <p>To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,</p>

77 <p>Area = length × width</p>

78 <p>996 = 83 × width</p>

79 <p>To find the value of width, we need to shift 83 to the left side.</p>
