How to Find the Factors of 145

For finding factors of 145, 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 145.

 

Let us find the pairs which, on multiplication, yields 145.

 


1×145=145


5×29=145

Factors of 145 by multiplication method
So, factors of 145 are: 1,5,29, and 145.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors using Division Method

The division method finds the factors that evenly divides the given number 145. In this process, we have to divide 145 by all possible natural numbers less than 145 and check.


1,5,29, and 145 are the only factors that the number 145 has. So to verify the factors of 145 using the division method, we just need to divide 145 by each factor.


145/1 =145


145/5=29


145/29=5


145/145=1

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization is the easiest process to find prime factors. It decomposes 145 into a product of its prime integers.

 

  • Prime Factors of 145: 5,29.

 

  • Prime Factorization of 145: 5×29
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor tree

The number 145 is written on top and two branches are extended.


Fill in those branches with a factor pair of the number above, i.e., 145.


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


The first two branches of the factor tree of 145 are 5 and 29.

Factor Pairs


Positive pair factors:   (1,145), (5,29)


Negative pair factors:  (-1,-145), (-5,-29).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 145

Solving problems based on factors can, sometimes, lead to misconceptions among children. Let us check what the common errors are and how to avoid them.
 

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Factors might be larger than the given number.
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

 Factors can never be larger than the given number, but multiples can be. You need to understand the concept that factors are integers which divide a given number perfectly, and multiples are the products we get when the original number is multiplied with different numbers.

Problem 3

The area of a rectangle is 145 square units. If the length is 29 units, then what is the measure of its width?

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

Area of rectangle: 145 sq units


Factors of 145: 1,5,29,145


We know that the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and breadth.


Given, length= 29 units


There exists a factor pair of 145, which is (5,29). Hence, width is 5 units. Let’s check it through the formula for area.


So, length×width = area


⇒ 29 × width = 145


⇒ width = 145/29 = 5


Answer: 5 units
 

Explanation

Used the concept of factor pairs for 145 and rechecked using the formula for finding area of a rectangle.
