The factors of any number is find out by the method of prime factorisation.
For example, consider a number 240.
It can be prime factorized as:
240 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Now by taking different combination of prime factors at a single time we get different factors.
For example, 2 × 2 = 2, 2 × 2 × 3 = 12
In this manner by taking different combinations we get the following factors of 240:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120 and 240
