Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 512, start by dividing the numbers by the smallest prime number, which is 2. If the number is not divisible by 2, proceed to the next prime number, such as 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and continue this process until you reach 1.

Step 1: 512 ÷ 2 = 256
Step 2: 256 ÷ 2 = 128
Step 3: 128 ÷ 2 = 64
Step 4: 64 ÷ 2 = 32
Step 5: 32 ÷ 2 = 16
Step 6: 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Step 7: 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Step 8: 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Step 9: 2 ÷ 2 = 1

In step 9, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 512: $2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2$

• Prime Factorization of 512: $2^9$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
4 = 1 x 4
8 = 1 x 8
16 = 1 x 16
32 = 1 x 32
64 = 1 x 64
128 = 1 x 128
256 = 1 x 256
512 = 1 x 512

Finally Factors of 512 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512
