Factors of 625

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

In this topic, let's learn about factors. It is scarce to find numbers that will divide a given number up to the smallest unit without remainder. These numbers are known as the factors, and learning about factors happens when a student comes across a number or number pair in the real world.

What are the factors of 625?

With the help of the long division method, we can find out that 625 can be easily divided by 1, 5, 25, 125, and 625. It is also worth remembering that numbers, having only 2 factors, are called prime numbers.

How to find the factors of 625

There are many methods which the students can use to find out the factors of a number. Some of the most used methods are given below.

 

  • Multiplication method

 

  • Division method

 

  • Prime factors and prime factorization

 

  • Factor tree

Finding factors using multiplication method

Multiplication method is quite an easy method where we find the pair of numbers which when multiplied with each other give the desired number. For 625 the pairs are.


1×625=625


5×125=625


25×25=625


Hence, we can conclude that the factors of 625 are 1, 5, 25, 125

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding factors by division method

In the division method, you need to divide the given number 625 by every number starting from 1. If any number is able to divide it without leaving any reminder, then that number is considered as one of its factors.


625÷1=625 (no remainder)


625÷5=125 (no remainder)


625÷25=25 (no remainder)

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime factors and prime factorization

Prime factorization is done by dividing the number by prime numbers to see which prime number is able to divide it, and if it does, then that number is considered as a prime number.


625÷5=125 (5 is a prime factor).


5 is a prime.


Therefore, prime factors of 625 is 5

Factor tree

A factor tree is a form of number tree, which is a diagram which represents simple division, where the number at the top is divided until it reaches a prime number or cannot be further divided.

 


Max Pointing Out Common Math Mistakes

Common mistakes and how to avoid them in factors of 625.

It is quite normal for students to commit a few mistakes while trying to find out the factors of a number. Below are a few such mistakes and how to avoid them

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

 Ignoring 1 and the number itself as factors.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

1 and the number itself are always considered as factors since they can divide the number, leaving no reminder. Hence, students should not exclude them while listing a number of factors.
