All the factors (divisors) of the number 856,423,360. Connection with the prime factorization of the number

Calculations:

Calculate all the (common) factors (divisors) of one or two numbers

To find all the divisors of the number 856,423,360:

1. Decompose the number into prime factors.
See how you can find out how many factors (divisors) the number has, without actually calculating them.
2. Multiply the prime factors in all their unique combinations, that yield different results.

1. Carry out the prime factorization of the number 856,423,360:

The prime factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.

856,423,360 = 2⁶ × 5 × 13 × 29 × 31 × 229
856,423,360 is not a prime number but a composite one.

Prime number: a natural number that is divisible (divided evenly) only by 1 and itself. A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and the number itself.
Examples of prime numbers: 2 (factors 1, 2), 3 (factors 1, 3), 5 (factors 1, 5), 7 (factors 1, 7), 11 (factors 1, 11), 13 (factors 1, 13), ...
Composite number: a natural number that has at least one factor other than 1 and itself. So it is neither a prime number nor 1.
Examples of composite numbers: 4 (it has 3 factors: 1, 2, 4), 6 (it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 3, 6), 8 (it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 4, 8), 9 (it has 3 factors: 1, 3, 9), 10 (it has 4 factors: 1, 2, 5, 10), 12 (it has 6 factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12), ...

How to count the number of factors of a number?

Without actually finding the factors

If a number N is prime factorized as:
N = a^m × b^k × c^z
where a, b, c are the prime factors and m, k, z are their exponents, natural numbers, ....
...
Then the number of factors of the number N can be calculated as:
n = (m + 1) × (k + 1) × (z + 1)
...
In our case, the number of factors is calculated as:
n = (6 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 7 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 224

But to actually calculate the factors, see below...

2. Multiply the prime factors of the number 856,423,360

Multiply the prime factors involved in the prime factorization of the number in all their unique combinations, that give different results.
Also consider the exponents of these prime factors.
Also add 1 to the list of factors (divisors). All the numbers are divisible by 1.

All the factors (divisors) are listed below - in ascending order

out of which 6 prime factors: 2; 5; 13; 29; 31 and 229.
Numbers other than 1 that are not prime factors are composite factors (divisors).
856,423,360 and 1 are sometimes called improper factors, the others are called proper factors (proper divisors).

A quick way to find the factors (the divisors) of a number is to break it down into prime factors.
Then multiply the prime factors and their exponents, if any, in all their different combinations.

Factors (divisors), common factors (common divisors), the greatest common factor, GCF (also called the greatest common divisor, GCD, or the highest common factor, HCF)

If the number "t" is a factor (divisor) of the number "a" then in the prime factorization of "t" we will only encounter prime factors that also occur in the prime factorization of "a".
If there are exponents involved, the maximum value of an exponent for any base of a power that is found in the prime factorization of "t" (powers, or multiplicities) is at most equal to the exponent of the same base that is involved in the prime factorization of "a".
Hint: 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8. 2 is called the base and 3 is the exponent. 2³ is the power and 8 is the value of the power. We sometimes say that the number 2 is raised to the power of 3.

For example, 12 is a factor (divisor) of 120 - the remainder is zero when dividing 120 by 12.
Let's look at the prime factorization of both numbers and notice the bases and the exponents that occur in the prime factorization of both numbers:
12 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 2² × 3
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 2³ × 3 × 5
120 contains all the prime factors of 12, and all its bases' exponents are higher than those of 12.

If "t" is a common factor (divisor) of "a" and "b", then the prime factorization of "t" contains only the common prime factors involved in the prime factorizations of both "a" and "b".
If there are exponents involved, the maximum value of an exponent for any base of a power that is found in the prime factorization of "t" is at most equal to the minimum of the exponents of the same base that is involved in the prime factorization of both "a" and "b".

For example, 12 is the common factor of 48 and 360.
The remainder is zero when dividing either 48 or 360 by 12.
Here there are the prime factorizations of the three numbers, 12, 48 and 360:
12 = 2² × 3
48 = 2⁴ × 3
360 = 2³ × 3² × 5
Please note that 48 and 360 have more factors (divisors): 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. Among them, 24 is the greatest common factor, GCF (or the greatest common divisor, GCD, or the highest common factor, HCF) of 48 and 360.

The greatest common factor, GCF, of two numbers, "a" and "b", is the product of all the common prime factors involved in the prime factorizations of both "a" and "b", taken by the lowest exponents.
Based on this rule it is calculated the greatest common factor, GCF, (or the greatest common divisor GCD, HCF) of several numbers, as shown in the example below...

GCF, GCD (1,260; 3,024; 5,544) = ?
1,260 = 2² × 3²
3,024 = 2⁴ × 3² × 7
5,544 = 2³ × 3² × 7 × 11
The common prime factors are:
2 - its lowest exponent (multiplicity) is: min.(2; 3; 4) = 2
3 - its lowest exponent (multiplicity) is: min.(2; 2; 2) = 2
GCF, GCD (1,260; 3,024; 5,544) = 2² × 3² = 252

Coprime numbers:
If two numbers "a" and "b" have no other common factors (divisors) than 1, gfc, gcd, hcf (a; b) = 1, then the numbers "a" and "b" are called coprime (or relatively prime).

Factors of the GCF
If "a" and "b" are not coprime, then every common factor (divisor) of "a" and "b" is a also a factor (divisor) of the greatest common factor, GCF (greatest common divisor, GCD, highest common factor, HCF) of "a" and "b".
