To find all the factors of a number, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with 1, as it is a factor of every number.
2. Divide the number by 2 and check if it divides evenly, leaving no remainder. If it does, include 2 as a factor.
3. Repeat step 2 for the next consecutive numbers until you reach the square root of the number. This is because the factors of a number come in pairs, one below the square root and one above it.
4. For each factor found, also include its corresponding pair above the square root.

Now let's apply these steps to find the factors of 30:

1. Start with 1.
2. Divide 30 by 2. Since 30 ÷ 2 = 15, include 2 as a factor.
3. Continue dividing by consecutive numbers: 30 ÷ 3 = 10, so include 3 as a factor.
Next, 30 ÷ 4 does not divide evenly.
Then, 30 ÷ 5 = 6, so include 5 as a factor.
4. Check if there are any more factors between the square root (approximately 5.48) and the highest previously included factor (5). There are no more factors.

Therefore, the factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30.
