Prime factorization of 1545: 3 × 5 × 103.

The sum of factors of 1545: 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 + 103 + 309 + 515 + 1545 = 2496

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

1. Finding factors using multiplication
2. Finding factors using division method
3. Prime factors and Prime factorization

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 1545. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 1545 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 1545 by 1, 1545 × 1 = 1545.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 1545 after multiplying     

3 × 515 = 1545     

5 × 309 = 1545     

15 × 103 = 1545

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 1545 are: (1, 1545), (3, 515), (5, 309), and (15, 103). All these factor pairs result in 1545. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

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 1545 by 1, 1545 ÷ 1 = 1545.

Step 2: Continue dividing 1545 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

1545 ÷ 1 = 1545

1545 ÷ 3 = 515

1545 ÷ 5 = 309

1545 ÷ 15 = 103

Therefore, the factors of 1545 are: 1, 3, 5, 15, 103, 309, 515, 1545.

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. 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 1545 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

1545 ÷ 3 = 515

515 ÷ 5 = 103

103 ÷ 103 = 1

The prime factors of 1545 are 3, 5, and 103. The prime factorization of 1545 is: 3 × 5 × 103.

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

Step 1: Firstly, 1545 is divided by 3 to get 515.

Step 2: Now divide 515 by 5 to get 103.

Step 3: Here, 103 is a prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 1545 is: 3 × 5 × 103.

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 1545: (1, 1545), (3, 515), (5, 309), and (15, 103).

• Negative factor pairs of 1545: (-1, -1545), (-3, -515), (-5, -309), and (-15, -103).

• Factors: The numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder are called factors. For example, the factors of 1545 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 103, 309, 515, and 1545.

• Prime factors: The factors which are prime numbers. For example, 3, 5, and 103 are prime factors of 1545.

• Factor pairs: Two numbers in a pair that are multiplied to give the original number are called factor pairs. For example, the factor pairs of 1545 are (1, 1545), (3, 515), etc.

• Prime factorization: Breaking down a number into the product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 1545 is 3 × 5 × 103.

• Multiple: A number that can be divided by another number without a remainder. For example, 1545 is a multiple of 3.
