    Thank you so much sir, this was immensely useful for me. Even as a 12th grader taking Maths, I never actually thought there was a way where you could find all factors of a number, but I had to learn. And no video on UA-cam was as clear as yours, not only that, but also, very easy to do. Unlike these complex methods on UA-cam I found that I honestly could not understand at all or memorize. But this, this is it! Thank you again. (This would've been so useful to learn when I was younger, too. But at least I know now. )

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  6 років тому +2

      48 = 2^4 * 3^1.. So do (4+1)*(1+1).. Then there are 10 factors of 48.

      The 9 factors of 36 are 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18, 36
      Six shows up twice put we only count it once when we list all the factors. Factors will repeat with all perfect square numbers.

    @FuzzyDPozzy 5 років тому +1

    Hey man , well it seems i struggle with your trick i think you should have done a bit more examples in 2:22 because of noobs like me so anyways :P
    Factors of 28
    so
    28
    then 14 x 2
    prime is 2 so we continue with 14
    2x7 is 14 then we bring down the 2 so what's left is :
    2 x 7 x 2
    Now referring to your trick
    the first 2 has 1 exponent then 7 has 1 exponent then again number 2 has 1 exponent right?
    What is wrong in this line because then i add 2x2x2 and is 8 but the factors of 28 is not 8 but 6
    so any help is appreciated.

    • @dianey8783
      @dianey8783 4 роки тому +1

      You need to group the 2s:
      (2x2) x 7 = 28
      The 2 has an exponent of 2 and the 7 has an exponent of 1, so it becomes 3 x 2 = 6
      The 6 factors are then 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.
