Now I’ll share a few facts about the number 1210:

  • 1210 is a composite number.
  • Prime factorization: 1210 = 2 × 5 × 11 × 11, which can be written 1210 = 2 × 5 × 11²
  • The exponents in the prime factorization are 1, 2, and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (1 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 2 × 3 × 2 = 12. Therefore 1210 has exactly 12 factors.
  • Factors of 1210: 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 55, 110, 121, 242, 605, 1210
