How to Find the Factors of 2012?

To find the factors of 2012, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 2012 without leaving any remainder.

• 2012/4 = 503; therefore, 4 is a factor of 2012 and 503 is also a factor of 2012.
• 2012/2 = 1006; therefore, 2 is a factor of 2012 and 1006 is also a factor of 2012.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 2012 are 1, 2, 4, 503, 1006, 2012.

The number 2012 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 2012. The first step is to divide the number 2012 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 2012 ÷ 2 = 1006
• 1006 ÷ 2 = 503

Further dividing 503 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 503 by the next smallest prime factor. We stop ultimately if the next prime factor doesn't exist or when we can't divide any further.

So, the prime factorization of 2012 can be written as 2² × 503¹ where 2, 503 are prime.

Pair factors of 2012 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 2012. The factors of 2012 in pairs are:

• 1 × 2012 = (1, 2012)
• 2 × 1006 = (2, 1006)
• 4 × 503 = (4, 503)

Negative pair factors of 2012 are:

• -1 × -2012 = (-1, -2012)
• -2 × -1006 = (-2, -1006)
• -4 × -503 = (-4, -503)

NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.
