9 × 15 = 135
Finding Factors Using Division Method
The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number.
Step-by-step process
Step 1: Since every number is divided by 1, 1 will always be its factor. Example: 135 / 1 = 135.
Step 2: Move to the next integer. Both divisor and quotient are the factors.
Prime Factors and Factorization
Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. Prime factorization is breaking down the number into its prime factors.
Prime Factors of 135:
Step 1: Divide 135 with the smallest prime number 5
135÷5 = 5
5÷5 = 1
Prime Factorization of 135- Prime Factorization breaks down the prime factors of 135
Expressed as 33x 5
Factor tree
The prime factorization is visually represented using the factor tree. It helps to understand the process easily. In this factor tree, each branch splits into prime factors.
Factors of 135 can be written in both positive pairs and negative pairs. They are like team members. Their product will be equal to the number given.
Positive Factor Pairs: (1, 135), (3,45), (5, 27), (9,15)
Negative Factor Pairs: (-1, -135), (-3,-45), (-5, -27), (-9,-15)
