Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 7575, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 7575 evenly are known as factors of 7575.
A factor of 7575 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 7575 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 505, 1515, 2525, and 7575.
Negative factors of 7575: -1, -3, -5, -15, -505, -1515, -2525, and -7575.
Prime factors of 7575: 3, 5, 101.
Prime factorization of 7575: 3 × 5 × 505.
The sum of factors of 7575: 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 + 505 + 1515 + 2525 + 7575 = 12144
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 7575. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 7575 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 7575 by 1, 7575 × 1 = 7575.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 7575 after multiplying
3 × 2525 = 7575
5 × 1515 = 7575
15 × 505 = 7575
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 7575 are: (1, 7575), (3, 2525), (5, 1515), (15, 505).
All these factor pairs result in 7575.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method
Step 1: Divide 7575 by 1, 7575 ÷ 1 = 7575.
Step 2: Continue dividing 7575 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
7575 ÷ 1 = 7575
7575 ÷ 3 = 2525
7575 ÷ 5 = 1515
7575 ÷ 15 = 505
Therefore, the factors of 7575 are: 1, 3, 5, 15, 505, 1515, 2525, 7575.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 7575 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
7575 ÷ 3 = 2525
2525 ÷ 5 = 505
505 ÷ 5 = 101
101 ÷ 101 = 1
The prime factors of 7575 are 3, 5, and 101.
The prime factorization of 7575 is: 3 × 5 × 101.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows
Step 1: Firstly, 7575 is divided by 3 to get 2525.
Step 2: Now divide 2525 by 5 to get 505.
Step 3: Then divide 505 by 5 to get 101.
Step 4: 101 is a prime number and cannot be divided further.
So, the prime factorization of 7575 is: 3 × 5 × 101.
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 7575: (1, 7575), (3, 2525), (5, 1515), (15, 505).
Negative factor pairs of 7575: (-1, -7575), (-3, -2525), (-5, -1515), (-15, -505).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
A cultural event has 7575 tickets, and each person can buy up to 5 tickets. How many people can buy the maximum number of tickets?
1515 people can buy the maximum number of tickets.
To find the number of people who can buy the maximum number of tickets, divide the total tickets by the number of tickets a person can buy.
7575 ÷ 5 = 1515
There are 3 concerts, and each concert has an equal number of seats totaling 7575. How many seats are there per concert?
2525 seats per concert.
To find the number of seats per concert, we use the formula:
Total seats = number of concerts × seats per concert
7575 = 3 × seats per concert
To find the value of seats per concert, shift 3 to the left side.
7575 ÷ 3 = seats per concert
Seats per concert = 2525.
A shop has 505 boxes of items, each containing the same number of items, totaling 7575 items. How many items are in each box?
Each box contains 15 items.
To find the items in each box, divide the total items by the number of boxes.
7575 ÷ 505 = 15
A community event has 7575 participants, and each group has 3 leaders. How many groups are there in the event?
There are 2525 groups in the event.
Dividing the participants by the number of leaders gives the number of groups.
7575 ÷ 3 = 2525
7575 books need to be arranged in 15 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each shelf will have 505 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
7575 ÷ 15 = 505
