What are the Factors of 3500?

The numbers that divide 3500 evenly are known as factors of 3500.

 

A factor of 3500 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 3500 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 25, 28, 35, 50, 70, 100, 140, 175, 250, 350, 500, 700, 875, 1750, and 3500.

 

Negative factors of 3500: -1, -2, -4, -5, -7, -10, -14, -20, -25, -28, -35, -50, -70, -100, -140, -175, -250, -350, -500, -700, -875, -1750, and -3500.

 

Prime factors of 3500: 2, 5, and 7.

 

Prime factorization of 3500: 22 × 52 × 7 × 10.

 

The sum of factors of 3500: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 10 + 14 + 20 + 25 + 28 + 35 + 50 + 70 + 100 + 140 + 175 + 250 + 350 + 500 + 700 + 875 + 1750 + 3500 = 9306

How to Find Factors of 3500?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using division method

     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 3500. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 3500 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 3500 by 1, 3500 × 1 = 3500.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 3500 after multiplying

2 × 1750 = 3500

4 × 875 = 3500

5 × 700 = 3500

7 × 500 = 3500

10 × 350 = 3500

14 × 250 = 3500

20 × 175 = 3500

25 × 140 = 3500

28 × 125 = 3500

35 × 100 = 3500

50 × 70 = 3500

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 3500 are: (1, 3500), (2, 1750), (4, 875), (5, 700), (7, 500), (10, 350), (14, 250), (20, 175), (25, 140), (28, 125), (35, 100), (50, 70). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 3500 by 1, 3500 ÷ 1 = 3500.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 3500 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

3500 ÷ 1 = 3500

3500 ÷ 2 = 1750

3500 ÷ 4 = 875

3500 ÷ 5 = 700

3500 ÷ 7 = 500

3500 ÷ 10 = 350

3500 ÷ 14 = 250

3500 ÷ 20 = 175

3500 ÷ 25 = 140

3500 ÷ 28 = 125

3500 ÷ 35 = 100

3500 ÷ 50 = 70

 

Therefore, the factors of 3500 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 25, 28, 35, 50, 70, 100, 140, 175, 250, 350, 500, 700, 875, 1750, 3500.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 3500 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

3500 ÷ 2 = 1750

1750 ÷ 2 = 875

875 ÷ 5 = 175

175 ÷ 5 = 35

35 ÷ 7 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

 

The prime factors of 3500 are 2, 5, and 7.

 

The prime factorization of 3500 is:  22 × 52 × 7 × 10.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 3500 is divided by 2 to get 1750.

 

Step 2: Now divide 1750 by 2 to get 875.

 

Step 3: Then divide 875 by 5 to get 175.

 

Step 4: Divide 175 by 5 to get 35.

 

Step 5: Divide 35 by 7 to get 5. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 3500 is:  22 × 52 × 7 × 10.

 

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

 

Positive factor pairs of 3500: (1, 3500), (2, 1750), (4, 875), (5, 700), (7, 500), (10, 350), (14, 250), (20, 175), (25, 140), (28, 125), (35, 100), (50, 70).

 

Negative factor pairs of 3500: (-1, -3500), (-2, -1750), (-4, -875), (-5, -700), (-7, -500), (-10, -350), (-14, -250), (-20, -175), (-25, -140), (-28, -125), (-35, -100), (-50, -70).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 3500, 1 and 3500 are also factors.

Factors of 3500 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 14 buses and 3500 passengers. How will they distribute them equally?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each bus will have 250 passengers.

Explanation

To divide the passengers equally, we need to divide the total passengers by the number of buses.

3500/14 = 250

Problem 2

A garden is rectangular, the length of the garden is 70 meters and the total area is 3500 square meters. Find the width?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

50 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,

Area = length × width

3500 = 70 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 70 to the left side.

3500/70 = width

Width = 50.

There are 25 boxes and 3500 apples. How many apples will be in each box?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each box will have 140 apples.

Explanation

To find the apples in each box, divide the total apples by the boxes.

3500/25 = 140
