Factors of 275

Factors are the numbers that help us divide things equally without any leftovers. Let’s learn about the Factors of 275 which are 1,5,11,25,55 and 275. The number has both positive and negative integers that divide 275 without leaving any remainder. 

Factors help us divide numbers equally, making calculations faster and easier. Few methods used by the children for solving factors are as follows - 
 

In this method, we take two numbers and find the product of those two numbers to get the required number.

Example:

11×25=275

1×275=275

5 × 55=275

 which means that 1, 5,11,25,55, and 275 are the factors of 275.

We divide 275 by numbers starting from 1 and see which number gives the remainder of 0.

275 1=275

275 5=55

275 11=25

So the factors are 1, 5,11,25,55, and 275.

The breaking down of numbers as prime factors is called prime factorization. The factors of 275 are:

275= 5 × 5 × 11
 

A factor tree shows how a number can be parted down into prime factors.275 is broken down into two factors, 1, 5,11,25,55, and 275.
 

Positive and negative pairs:

A number should have both positive and negative factors:

Positive Pairs: (1, 275), (5, 55), (11, 25)

Negative Pairs: (-1, -275), (-5, -55), (-11, -25)

• Prime Factorization: It is a method to break down a number into prime factors, for example: 2 x 79.

• Divisibility: A number is said to be divisible by a certain number, when we divide a number it should give a whole number and not a decimal.

• Even number: A number that when divided by 2 gives a whole number.
