Factors of 245
Factors of any number are the dividers or multipliers that can divide the number fully and can be multiplied together to produce the given product, 245. Do you know, factors form the basic approach to solve some general mathematical procedures? This article will give you the insights of factors of 245.
What are the Factors of 245?
The factors of 245 or the numbers which divide 245 exactly are:
1,5,7,35,49, and 245.
Negative factors of 245: -1,-5,-7,-35,-49,-245.
Prime factors of 245: 5,7
Prime factorization of 245: 5×72
The sum of factors of 245: 1+5+7+35+49+245= 342
How to Find the Factors of 245
For finding factors of 245, we will be learning these below-mentioned methods:
- Multiplication Method
- Division Method
- Prime Factor and Prime Factorization
- Factor Tree
Finding Factors using Multiplication
This particular method often finds the pair of factors which, on multiplication together, produces 245. Let us find the pairs which, on multiplication, yields 245.
1×245=245
5×49=245
7×35=245
So, factors of 245 are: 1,5,7,35,49,and 245.
Finding Factors using Division Method
The division method finds the factors that evenly divides the given number 245. In this process, we have to divide 245 by all possible natural numbers less than 245 and check.
1,5,7,35,49, and 245 are the only factors that the number 245 has. So to verify the factors of 245 using the division method, we just need to divide 245 by each factor.
- 245/1 =245
- 245/5=49
- 245/7=35
- 245/35=7
- 245/49=5
- 245/245=1
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 245 into a product of its prime integers.
Prime Factors of 245: 5, 7
Prime Factorization of 245: 72×5
Factor tree
The number 245 is written on top and two branches are extended.
Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 245.
Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number).
The first two branches of the factor tree of 245 are 5 and 49, then proceeding to 45, we get 7 in both the branches. So, now the factor tree for 245 is achieved.
Factor Pairs
Positive pair factors: (1,245), (5,49), (7,35).
Negative pair factors: (1,245), (5,49), (7,35).
