Question (d) - Page 51 (Figure it out) List all the factors of the following numbers: (d) 360 (this number has 24 factors)Let’s do Prime Factorisation of 360 So, we can write 360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 Now, Factors would be Prime Factors Combination of prime factors And, number 1 Let’s look at each one of them Prime Factors: Prime Factors are 2, 3, 5 Combination of two prime factors: Factors are 2 × 2 = 4 2 × 3 = 6 2 × 5 = 10 3 × 3 = 9 3 × 5 = 15 Combination of three prime factors: Factors are 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 2 × 2 × 3 = 12 2 × 2 × 5 = 20 2 × 3 × 3 = 18 2 × 3 × 5 = 30 3 × 3 × 5 = 45 Combination of four prime factors: Factors are 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 36 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90 Combination of five prime factors: Factors are 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 72 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 120 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 180 Combination of six prime factors: Factors are 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 360 Thus, Factors of 360 (24 factors) are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
