What are the Factors of 365?

The numbers that divide 365 evenly are known as factors of 365. A factor of 365 is a number that divides the number without remainder. The factors of 365 are 1, 5, 73, and 365. Negative factors of 365: -1, -5, -73, and -365. Prime factors of 365: 5 and 73. Prime factorization of 365: 5 × 73. The sum of factors of 365: 1 + 5 + 73 + 365 = 444

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 365. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 365 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 365 by 1, 365 × 1 = 365. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 365 after multiplying 5 × 73 = 365 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 365 are: (1, 365), (5, 73). All these factor pairs result in 365. 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 a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 365 by 1, 365 ÷ 1 = 365. Step 2: Continue dividing 365 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 365 ÷ 1 = 365 365 ÷ 5 = 73 365 ÷ 73 = 5 Therefore, the factors of 365 are: 1, 5, 73, 365.

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 365 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1. 365 ÷ 5 = 73 73 ÷ 73 = 1 The prime factors of 365 are 5 and 73. The prime factorization of 365 is: 5 × 73.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows - Step 1: Firstly, 365 is divided by 5 to get 73. Step 2: Now divide 73 by 73 to get 1. Here, 73 is a prime number, and cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 365 is: 5 × 73. 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 365: (1, 365), (5, 73). Negative factor pairs of 365: (-1, -365), (-5, -73).

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 365, 1 and 365 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 5 groups and 365 marbles. How will they divide them equally?

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

They will get 73 marbles each.

Explanation

To divide the marbles equally, we need to divide the total marbles with the number of groups. 365/5 = 73

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a width of 5 meters and a total area of 365 square meters. What is the length?

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

73 meters.

Explanation

To find the length of the garden, we use the formula, Area = length × width 365 = length × 5 To find the value of length, we need to shift 5 to the left side. 365/5 = length Length = 73.
