What are the Factors of 1965?

The numbers that divide 1965 evenly are known as factors of 1965.

 

A factor of 1965 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 1965 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 131, 393, 655, and 1965.

 

Negative factors of 1965: -1, -3, -5, -15, -131, -393, -655, and -1965.

 

Prime factors of 1965: 3, 5, and 131.

 

Prime factorization of 1965: 3 × 5 × 131.

 

The sum of factors of 1965: 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 + 131 + 393 + 655 + 1965 = 3168

How to Find Factors of 1965?

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 1965. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1965 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 1965 by 1, 1965 × 1 = 1965.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1965 after multiplying

 

3 × 655 = 1965

5 × 393 = 1965

15 × 131 = 1965

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1965 are: (1, 1965), (3, 655), (5, 393), (15, 131).

 

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with 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 a simple division method

 

Step 1: Divide 1965 by 1, 1965 ÷ 1 = 1965.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 1965 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

1965 ÷ 1 = 1965

1965 ÷ 3 = 655

1965 ÷ 5 = 393

1965 ÷ 15 = 131

 

Therefore, the factors of 1965 are: 1, 3, 5, 15, 131, 393, 655, 1965.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with a prime number. 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 1965 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

1965 ÷ 3 = 655

655 ÷ 5 = 131

131 ÷ 131 = 1

 

The prime factors of 1965 are 3, 5, and 131.

 

The prime factorization of 1965 is: 3 × 5 × 131.

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, 1965 is divided by 3 to get 655.

 

Step 2: Now divide 655 by 5 to get 131.

 

Step 3: Divide 131 by 131 to get 1. Here, 131 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1965 is: 3 × 5 × 131.

 

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 1965: (1, 1965), (3, 655), (5, 393), and (15, 131).

 

Negative factor pairs of 1965: (-1, -1965), (-3, -655), (-5, -393), and (-15, -131).

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 1965, 1 and 1965 are also factors.

Factors of 1965 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 3 teams and 1965 fans. How will they be divided equally among the teams?

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

Each team will have 655 fans.

Explanation

To divide the fans equally, we need to divide the total fans with the number of teams.

 

1965/3 = 655

Problem 2

A page is filled with 1965 words, and there are 5 columns. How many words are in each column?

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

393 words.

Explanation

To find the number of words in each column, we use the formula,

 

Total words = number of columns × words in each column

 

1965 = 5 × words in each column

 

To find the value of words in each column, we need to divide by 5.

 

1965/5 = words in each column

 

Words in each column = 393.
