The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are as follows:
 

Step 1: Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor.
Example: 3125÷1=3125.
 

Step 2: Move to the next integer. The factors of the number include the number that is used to divide and the number of times the particular number is divided.

Thus, the factors of 3125 are 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, and 3125.
 

Prime factors are numbers that, when multiplied, produce the given number. To find the prime factors of 3125, we divide it by the prime numbers.

Prime Factors of 3125: Number 3125 has only one prime factor, which is 5.
 

Step 1: Divide 3125 by the prime number 5.
3125÷5=625
 

Step 2: Divide 625 by 5.
625÷5=125
 

Step 3: Divide 125 by 5.
125÷5=25
 

Step 4: Divide 25 by 5.
25÷5=5
 

Step 5: Divide 5 by 5.
5÷5=1
