<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 12.25. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 12.25 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 12.25 by 1, 12.25 × 1 = 12.25. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 12.25 after multiplying 3.5 × 3.5 = 12.25 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 12.25 are: (1, 12.25) and (3.5, 3.5). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<p>Dividing the given number by<a>whole numbers</a>until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method - Step 1: Divide 12.25 by 1, 12.25 ÷ 1 = 12.25. Step 2: Continue dividing 12.25 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 12.25 ÷ 1 = 12.25 12.25 ÷ 3.5 = 3.5 Therefore, the factors of 12.25 are: 1, 3.5, and 12.25.</p>

<p>The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 12.25 is divided by 3.5 to get 3.5. Step 2: 3.5 is divided by 3.5 to get 1. Here, 3.5 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 12.25 is: 3.5 × 3.5. 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 12.25: (1, 12.25) and (3.5, 3.5). Negative factor pairs of 12.25: (-1, -12.25) and (-3.5, -3.5).</p>
