What are the Factors of 785?

The numbers that divide 785 evenly are known as factors of 785.

 

A factor of 785 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 785 are 1, 5, 157, and 785.

 

Negative factors of 785: -1, -5, -157, and -785.

 

Prime factors of 785: 5 and 157.

 

Prime factorization of 785: 5 × 157.

 

The sum of factors of 785: 1 + 5 + 157 + 785 = 948

How to Find Factors of 785?

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

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using division method
     
  • Prime factors and prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 785. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 785 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 785 by 1, 785 × 1 = 785.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 785 after multiplying 5 × 157 = 785

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 785 are: (1, 785) and (5, 157).

 

All these factor pairs result in 785. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given number 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 the simple division method:

 

Step 1: Divide 785 by 1, 785 ÷ 1 = 785.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 785 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

785 ÷ 1 = 785

785 ÷ 5 = 157

 

Therefore, the factors of 785 are: 1, 5, 157, 785.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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 785 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

785 ÷ 5 = 157

157 ÷ 157 = 1

 

The prime factors of 785 are 5 and 157.

 

The prime factorization of 785 is: 5 × 157.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show:

 

Step 1: Firstly, 785 is divided by 5 to get 157.

 

Step 2: 157 is a prime number and cannot be divided further. So, the prime factorization of 785 is: 5 × 157.

 

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 785: (1, 785) and (5, 157).

 

Negative factor pairs of 785: (-1, -785) and (-5, -157).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

People might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 785, 1 and 785 are also factors.

Problem 1

A bakery has 785 cupcakes. If they want to pack them into boxes of 5, how many boxes will they need?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

They will need 157 boxes.

Explanation

To find out how many boxes are needed, divide the total cupcakes by the number of cupcakes per box.

 

785/5 = 157

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 157 meters and an area of 785 square meters. Find the width.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

5 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

785 = 157 × width

 

To find the value of the width, divide 785 by 157.

 

785/157 = width

 

Width = 5.
