What are the Factors of 50000?

The numbers that divide 50000 evenly are known as factors of 50000.

 

A factor of 50000 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 50000 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, 1000, 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000, 25000, and 50000.

 

Negative factors of 50000: -1, -2, -4, -5, -8, -10, -20, -25, -40, -50, -100, -125, -200, -250, -500, -1000, -1250, -2500, -5000, -10000, -25000, and -50000.

 

Prime factors of 50000: 2 and 5.

 

Prime factorization of 50000: 24 × 55.

 

The sum of factors of 50000: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 20 + 25 + 40 + 50 + 100 + 125 + 200 + 250 + 500 + 1000 + 1250 + 2500 + 5000 + 10000 + 25000 + 50000 = 124031

How to Find Factors of 50000?

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 50000. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 50000 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 50000 by 1, 50000 × 1 = 50000.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 50000 after multiplying

(2 × 25000 = 50000)

(4 × 12500 = 50000)

(5 × 10000 = 50000)

(10 × 5000 = 50000)

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 50000 include: (1, 50000), (2, 25000), (4, 12500), (5, 10000), (10, 5000), etc. All these factor pairs result in 50000. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

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 50000 by 1, 50000 ÷ 1 = 50000.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 50000 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

50000 ÷ 1 = 50000

50000 ÷ 2 = 25000

50000 ÷ 4 = 12500

50000 ÷ 5 = 10000

50000 ÷ 8 = 6250

 

Therefore, the factors of 50000 include: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, etc.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

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 50000 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

50000 ÷ 2 = 25000

25000 ÷ 2 = 12500

12500 ÷ 2 = 6250

6250 ÷ 2 = 3125

3125 ÷ 5 = 625

625 ÷ 5 = 125

125 ÷ 5 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

 

The prime factors of 50000 are 2 and 5.

 

The prime factorization of 50000 is: 24 × 55.

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, 50000 is divided by 2 to get 25000.

 

Step 2: Now divide 25000 by 2 to get 12500.

 

Step 3: Then divide 12500 by 2 to get 6250.

 

Step 4: Divide 6250 by 2 to get 3125.

 

Step 5: Divide 3125 by 5 to get 625.

 

Step 6: Divide 625 by 5 to get 125.

 

Step 7: Divide 125 by 5 to get 25.

 

Step 8: Divide 25 by 5 to get 5. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 50000 is: 24 × 55.

 

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 50000: (1, 50000), (2, 25000), (4, 12500), (5, 10000), (10, 5000), etc.

 

Negative factor pairs of 50000: (-1, -50000), (-2, -25000), (-4, -12500), (-5, -10000), (-10, -5000), etc.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 50000

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 number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 50000, 1 and 50000 are also factors.

Factors of 50000 Examples

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

Problem 1

There are 10 friends and 50000 candies. How will they divide it equally?

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

They will get 5000 candies each.

Explanation

To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies with the number of friends.

50000/10 = 5000

Problem 2

A rectangular playground has a length of 250 meters and a total area of 50000 square meters. Find the width.

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

200 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the playground, we use the formula,

Area = length × width

50000 = 250 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 250 to the left side.

50000/250 = width

Width = 200.

Problem 3

There are 20 boxes and 50000 marbles. How many marbles will be in each box?

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

Each box will have 2500 marbles.

Explanation

To find the marbles in each box, divide the total marbles with the boxes.

50000/20 = 2500

In a company, there are 50000 employees, and 125 teams. How many employees are there in each team?

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

There are 400 employees in each team.

Explanation

Dividing the employees with the total teams, we will get the number of employees in each team.

50000/125 = 400
