Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 7225, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 7225 evenly are known as factors of 7225.
A factor of 7225 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 7225 are 1, 5, 25, 289, 1445, and 7225.
Negative factors of 7225: -1, -5, -25, -289, -1445, and -7225.
Prime factors of 7225: 5 and 17.
Prime factorization of 7225: 52 × 172.
The sum of factors of 7225: 1 + 5 + 25 + 289 + 1445 + 7225 = 8990
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 7225. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 7225 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 7225 by 1, 7225 × 1 = 7225.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 7225 after multiplying:
5 × 1445 = 7225
25 × 289 = 7225
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 7225 are: (1, 7225), (5, 1445), (25, 289).
All these factor pairs result in 7225.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the 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 7225 by 1, 7225 ÷ 1 = 7225.
Step 2: Continue dividing 7225 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
7225 ÷ 1 = 7225
7225 ÷ 5 = 1445
7225 ÷ 25 = 289
Therefore, the factors of 7225 are: 1, 5, 25, 289, 1445, 7225.
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 7225 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
7225 ÷ 5 = 1445
1445 ÷ 5 = 289
289 ÷ 17 = 17
17 ÷ 17 = 1
The prime factors of 7225 are 5 and 17.
The prime factorization of 7225 is: 52 × 172.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:
Step 1: Firstly, 7225 is divided by 5 to get 1445.
Step 2: Now divide 1445 by 5 to get 289.
Step 3: Then divide 289 by 17 to get 17. Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 7225 is: 52 × 172.
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 7225: (1, 7225), (5, 1445), (25, 289).
Negative factor pairs of 7225: (-1, -7225), (-5, -1445), (-25, -289).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 5 teachers and 7225 pens. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 1445 pens each.
To divide the pens equally, we need to divide the total pens with the number of teachers.
7225/5 = 1445
A rectangular garden has a length of 25 meters and a total area of 7225 square meters. Find the width.
289 meters.
To find the width of the garden, we use the formula:
Area = length × width
7225 = 25 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 25 to the left side.
7225/25 = width
Width = 289.
There are 289 students and 7225 notebooks. How many notebooks will each student receive?
Each student will receive 25 notebooks.
To find the notebooks each student receives, divide the total notebooks by the number of students.
7225/289 = 25
In a class, there are 25 groups, and 7225 chocolates. How many chocolates are there in each group?
There are 289 chocolates in each group.
Dividing the chocolates with the total groups, we will get the number of chocolates in each group.
7225/25 = 289
7225 books need to be arranged in 5 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 1445 books.
Divide total books with shelves.
7225/5 = 1445
