Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 486, 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: 486 ÷ 2 = 243
Step 2: 243 ÷ 3 = 81
Step 3: 81 ÷ 3 = 27
Step 4: 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Step 5: 9 ÷ 3 = 3
Step 6: 3 ÷ 3 = 1

In step 6, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 486: $2\times3\times3\times3\times3\times3$

• Prime Factorization of 486: $2^1\times3^5$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 486

Calculating all the factors:
2 = 1 x 2
3 = 1 x 3
6 = 1 x 2 x 3
9 = 1 x 9
18 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 3
27 = 1 x 27
54 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
81 = 1 x 81
162 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
243 = 1 x 243
486 = 1 x 486

Finally Factors of 486 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486
