To find the prime factorisation of 60, we can try dividing primes into it:
The first prime is 2, so write 60 = 2 * 30
2 is also a factor of 30, so write 60 = 2 * 2 * 15
The next prime is 3, so write 60 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5
5 is a prime, so we are done.
Now that we have the prime factorisation, we can find all of the factors. Each factor can be formed by multiplying the prime factors (2, 2, 3, 5), so we just need to list them out.
1 (is a factor of every number)
2
3
5
2*2 = 4
2*3 = 6
2*5 = 10
3*5 = 15
2*2*3 = 12
2*2*5 = 20
2*3*5 = 30
2*2*3*5 = 60
So the factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60.
