What are the Factors of 45?

Factors of 45 are those numbers that can divide 45 perfectly. The factors of 45 are:


1,3,5,9,15, and 45.


Negative factors of 45: -1, -3, -5, -9, -15, -45


Prime factors of 45: 3,5


Prime factorization of 45: 5×32


The sum of factors of 45: 1+3+5+9+15+45 = 78

How to Find the Factors of 45

For finding factors of 45, we will be learning these below-mentioned methods

:

  • Multiplication Method

 

  • Division Method

 

  • Prime Factor and Prime Factorization

 

  • Factor Tree
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors using Multiplication Methods

This particular method often finds the pair of factors which, on multiplication together, produces 45. Let us find the pairs which, on multiplication, yields 45.


1×45=45


3×15=45


5×9=45

Factors of 45 by multiplication method
From this, we conclude that, factors of 45 are: 1,3,5,9,15, and 45.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors using Division Method

The division method finds the numbers that evenly divides the given number 45. To find the factors of 45, we have to divide 45 by all possible natural numbers less than 45 and check.


1,3,5,9,15,45 are the only factors that the number 45 has. So to verify the factors of 45 using the division method, we just need to divide 45 by each factor.


45/1 =45


45/3 =15


45/5=9


45/9=5


45/15=3


45/45=1

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 45 into a product of its prime integers.


Prime Factors of 45: 3,5.


Prime Factorization of : 5×3×3 = 5×32
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor tree

The number 45 is written on top and two branches are extended.


Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 45.


Continue this process until each branch ends with a prime factor (number).


The first two branches of the factor tree of 45 are 3 and 15, then proceeding to 15, we get 3 and 5. So, now the factor tree for 45 is achieved.

Factor Pairs:


Positive pair factors:   (1,45), (3,15), and (5,9)


Negative pair factors: (-1,-45), (-3,-15), and (-5,-9).
