What are the Factors of 385?

The numbers that divide 385 evenly are known as factors of 385. A factor of 385 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 385 are 1, 5, 7, 11, 35, 55, 77, and 385.

 

Negative factors of 385: -1, -5, -7, -11, -35, -55, -77, and -385.

 

Prime factors of 385: 5, 7, and 11.

 

Prime factorization of 385: 5 × 7 × 11.

 

The sum of factors of 385: 1 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 35 + 55 + 77 + 385 = 576factors of 385

How to Find Factors of 385?

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, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 385. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 385 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 385 by 1, 385 × 1 = 385.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 385 after multiplying

 

5 × 77 = 385

7 × 55 = 385

11 × 35 = 385

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 385 are: (1, 385), (5, 77), (7, 55), and (11, 35). All these factor pairs result in 385. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers that result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method 

 

Step 1: Divide 385 by 1, 385 ÷ 1 = 385.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 385 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

385 ÷ 1 = 385

385 ÷ 5 = 77

385 ÷ 7 = 55

385 ÷ 11 = 35

 

Therefore, the factors of 385 are: 1, 5, 7, 11, 35, 55, 77, 385.

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

 

385 ÷ 5 = 77

77 ÷ 7 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

 

The prime factors of 385 are 5, 7, and 11.

 

The prime factorization of 385 is: 5 × 7 × 11.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows 

 

Step 1: Firstly, 385 is divided by 5 to get 77.

 

Step 2: Now divide 77 by 7 to get 11.

 

Step 3: Here, 11 is a prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 385 is: 5 × 7 × 11.

 

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 385: (1, 385), (5, 77), (7, 55), and (11, 35).

 

Negative factor pairs of 385: (-1, -385), (-5, -77), (-7, -55), and (-11, -35).

Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.

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

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

 

For example, in factors of 385, 1 and 385 are also factors.

Factors of 385 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

There are 11 groups and 385 students. How will they divide equally?

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

They will have 35 students in each group.

Explanation

To divide the students equally, we need to divide the total students with the number of groups.

385/11 = 35

Max from BrightChamps Praising Clear Math Explanations

Problem 2

A field is rectangular, the width of the field is 7 meters, and the total area is 385 square meters. Find the length?

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

55 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the field, we use the formula, Area = length × width

385 = length × 7

To find the value of length, we need to divide 385 by 7.

385/7 = length

Length = 55.

Problem 3

There are 5 tables and 385 chairs. How many chairs will be at each table?

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

Each table will have 77 chairs.

Explanation

To find the chairs at each table, divide the total chairs by the number of tables.

385/5 = 77
