Steps to find factors of 3125 in pair

Example: Find factors of 3125 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 3125 1 x 3125 = 3125
5 and 625 5 x 625 = 3125
25 and 125 25 x 125 = 3125

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 3125. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 3125 would be ( -1 , -3125 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 3125 are 1 , 5 , 25 , 125 , 625 , 3125. So, factors of 3125 in pair are (1,3125), (5,625), (25,125).

What are factors?

In mathematics, a factor is that number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, 3125 are exact divisors of 3125.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 3125 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 3125.

Steps to find Factors of 3125

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 3125 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 1562 (half of 3125). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    3125 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    3125 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    3125 ÷ 25 : Remainder = 0
    3125 ÷ 125 : Remainder = 0
    3125 ÷ 625 : Remainder = 0
    3125 ÷ 3125 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 3125 are 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, and 3125
