The concept of factors, as part of arithmetic and algebra, has been developed over centuries by various mathematicians. However, the formal study of factors and factorization can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Babylonians around 2000 BCE. The term "factor" itself became more commonly used in the 19th century as mathematics evolved. Thus, there isn't a single inventor or specific date for the invention of factors.
