Find out the factors of the number-54

Step 1a

To list out the factors of a number, we need to identify all the numbers that divide the given number evenly without leaving a remainder.
Let’s find the factors of 54:

We start by dividing 54 by 1, which gives us 54. This means 1 is a factor of 54.
Next, we divide 54 by 2, resulting in 27. Since 27 is a whole number, 2 is also a factor of 54.
We continue this process by dividing 54 by 3, which gives us 18. Therefore, 3 is a factor of 54.
We divide 54 by 6, resulting in 9. Since 9 is a whole number, 6 is also a factor of 54.
We divide 54 by 9, which gives us 6. Therefore, 9 is a factor of 54.
We divide 54 by 18, which gives us 3. Therefore, 18 is a factor of 54.

Explanation: Here, we discuss these are the factors of 54.

Step 1b

We divide 54 by 4, but 4 does not divide 54 evenly, as it leaves a remainder. Therefore, 4 is not a factor of 54.
Next, we divide 54 by 5, 7,8. However, none of these numbers divide 54 without leaving a remainder.
Moving on, we divide 54 by 10, and again, it does not divide evenly.
We continue by dividing 54 by 11, 12, 13, and so on until we reach 27. None of these numbers are factors of 54.

Explanation: Here, we discuss these are not factors of 54.

Step 1c

Finally, we divide 54 by 27, which gives us 2. Since 27 is a whole number, 27 is also a factor of 54.

Therefore, the factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, and 54.

Explanation: Here we discuss that 27 is also a factor of 54. The factors of 54 include 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27 and 54.
