What are the Factors of 65?

The factors of 65 will be 1, 5, 13, and 65. These are the only numbers which divide 65 evenly without leaving any remainder. And, it always will be in a whole number. These are the only numbers that divide 65 exactly.

 

Negative Factors of 65 : Negative Factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, and 65.


Prime Factors of 65: 5 and 13


Prime Factorization of 65:  It is expressed as 5×13


The Sum of Factors of 65:  The sum of factors of 65 is 1 + 5 + 13 + 65 =84

How to Find the Factors of 65

To find the factors of 65, students need to divide the original number evenly without leaving a remainder. Some methods are explained below for easy solution of factors-

 

  • Multiplication Method

 

  • Division Method

 

  • Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

 

  • Factor Tree
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication Method

Students need to find pairs of numbers that multiply together to give the original number.


Step 1: Check number from 2 up to the square root of the number.


Step 2: To each number, find its pair.

1×65 =65


5×13 =65


6, 7 do not divide 65 evenly.

Factors of 65 by multiplication method

Therefore, the factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, and 65.

 

This method is a process of systematically multiplying different numbers to get the original number.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors by Division Method

If children get the division in a whole number, then both the divisor and the quotient are factors.


Check numbers from 2 up to the square root of 65, where the square root of 65 is ±8.06. So, you need to check until 8.

 

65 / 1 = 65, both 1 and 65 are factors.


65 / 5 = 13, both 5 and 13 are factors


65 / 6, 7, 8 won’t result in whole number.

Factors of 65 by the division method

Then, the factors of 65 will be 1, 5, 13, and 65.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime factors are the numbers that divide a given number evenly without a remainder. And, prime factorization is the process of breaking down a number into its prime factors.

 

Prime Factors of 65 = 5 and 13


Prime Factorization of 65 = 5×13
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

A factor tree is a visual representation of the prime factorization of a number.


= 5 and 15 are the prime building blocks of 65.

 

Factor Pairs: A factor pair is a combination of two numbers that multiply together to result in a specific value.

 

Factor a pair of number of 65 = 1 and 65 = 1×65 =65
                                                = 5 and 13 = 5×13 =65

 

The above numbers are the factor pair for 65, as 65 only holds a few divisors.

 

Positive Pair Factors =1 and, 65, 5 and 13


Negative Pair Factors = -1 and -65, -5 and -13

Problem 1

Determine whether 65 is divisible by 7?

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

65 is divisible by 7.

Explanation

Check divisible by 7, divide 65 by 7.


65 / 7 = 9.286

Since the result is not an integer, 65 is not divisible by 7.

Problem 2

Find the sum of the digits of the number 65.

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

The sum of the digits of 65 is 11
 

Explanation

The digits of 65 are 6 and 5.


Add the digits : 6 + 5 =11


Thus, the sum of the digits of 65 is 11.

Problem 3

Find the least Common Multiple (LCM) and the Greatest Common Divisor of 65 and 52.

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

 The GCD of 65 and 52 is 13, and the LCM is 260.
 

Explanation

Find prime factorization


65 = 5×13


52 = 2×2×13

 

GCD is the product of common prime factors = 13


LCM is the product of the highest powers of all prime factors.


LCM = 2×2×5×13 =260
