Finding Factors Using Division Method

For the division method, the divisor, and the quotient are its factors. 


Step-by-step process

Step 1: Always start the division with 1, since 1 is the smallest factor of any given number. Example: 88÷1 = 88.

Here, 1 and 88 are the factors

Step 2: Move on to the next number and check if 88 is getting completely divided. Continue this process until you can’t divide 88 anymore.

Overview of Factors of 88 using the division method

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime factorization is the process where the prime factors are expressed in their exponential form. The prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by 1 and the number itself.

Prime Factors of 88:There are two prime factors for 88.


Prime factors of 88: 2, 11

To find the factors of 88, 

Step 1:  Divide 88 using the prime number 2


88÷2 = 44


44÷2 = 22


22÷2 = 11

Step 2: Divide 11 with the prime number 11


11÷11 = 1


For the prime factorization method, 88 can be expressed as 23 × 111.

Problem 1

Is 4 a factor of 88? If yes, what will be the quotient?

Okay, lets begin

Yes, 4 is a factor of 88. The quotient will be 22.
 

Explanation

 4 is a factor of 88 because 88 is completely divisible 4. When 88 is divided by 4 (88÷4) we get 22 as the quotient and the remainder will be zero.

Problem 2

Can you list the factors of 88 in descending order?

Okay, lets begin

Yes, the factors of 88 can be written in descending order as 88, 44, 22, 11, 8, 4, 2, 1.
 

Explanation

 We find the factors of 88 and usually write in ascending order (from smaller to bigger). Descending order means to write the factors from bigger to smaller. So the factors of 88 when written in descending order will be 88, 44, 22, 11, 8, 4, 2, 1.
