Factors Of 175

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

In mathematics, there are lots of numbers that when divided by other numbers leave no remainder, these numbers are called factors. We use it in our vehicles mileage and money handling. Now, we’ll learn what factors are and factors of 175 let us now see.

Factors Of 175

We can tell if a number has more than 2 factors just by seeing if a number is a prime number or not. As none of the even numbers except 2 are prime numbers, we can tell that 175 has more than 2 factors. Let us find what the factors are.


Negative factors of 175:  -1, -5, -7, -25, -35 and -175.


Prime factors of 175: The prime factors of 175 are 5 and 7.


Prime factorization of 175: 5×5×7


The sum of factors of 175: 1+5+7+25+35+175= 248.

How to find the factors of 175

Children use multiple ways to find factors of a number. Let us look at some ways we can use to find the factors of 175.

 

  • Multiplication Method

 

  • Division Method

 

  • Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

Finding The Factors Of 175 Using Multiplication

In the multiplication method, we find pairs of numbers where the product will be 169. In this process, possible steps will be - 


Step 1: Find all those numbers whose product will be 175.


Step 2: These numbers will be called the factors of 175.


Step 3: Students have to write these pairs of numbers for this method.


List of numbers whose product is 175


175×1= 175


35×5= 175


25×7= 175

Factors of 175 by multiplication method
So the pair of numbers whose product is 175 are (1,175), (5,35)  and (25,7).

Finding Factors Using Division Method

For the division method, the process of division will go on until the remainder becomes zero.



Step 1: For the division method, always try the smallest number to start with. It is advisable to start dividing the number by 1, then both the number and 1 will be its factors. Example: 175÷1 = 175.


Step 2: Then check with the next number to see whether the number is divided completely without any remainder. Both divisor and quotient are the factors. Example: 175÷5= 35 and so on.

Prime Factorization And Prime Factors

Prime factorization is the process where the number will be a product of prime factors or prime numbers.


Prime Factors Of 175:The prime factors of 175 are 5 and 7. We find the prime factors of 175 by two ways.


Prime Factorization: Prime Factorization: Here we will divide the numbers by the smallest prime number. Till we completely divide the given number. For 175, the steps are like this:


175/5= 35


35/5= 7


7/7= 1


As 7 is a prime number, it is only divisible by 7. Hence, The prime factorization of the number 175 is 5×5×7.

Factor Tree

This is a very easy method because in many ways it’s almost the same as a prime factorization. We will break down huge numbers in this case to get what we call a factor tree.


Step 1: 175 divided by 5 gives us the answer being 35.


Step 2: 35 divided by 5 gives us 7.


Step 4: This we can’t divide further.

Factor Pairs

There are positive and negative factor pairs for a given number. Let us look at these factor pairs.


Positive Factor Pairs: (1,175), (5,35)  and (25,7).


Negative Factor Pairs: (-1,-175), (-5,-35)  and (-25,-7).
