2. Steps to find factors of 1995 using Prime Factorization

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.

There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1995 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 1995 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
  • Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 1995, which is 3. Divide 1995 by 3 to obtain the quotient (665).
    1995 ÷ 3 = 665
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (665).
    665 ÷ 5 = 133
    133 ÷ 7 = 19
    19 ÷ 19 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1995 is, 1995 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 19.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1995 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1995 is, 1995 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 19.

3. Find factors of 1995 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 1995 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 1995 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 1995 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1995 1 x 1995 = 1995
3 and 665 3 x 665 = 1995
5 and 399 5 x 399 = 1995
7 and 285 7 x 285 = 1995
15 and 133 15 x 133 = 1995
19 and 105 19 x 105 = 1995
21 and 95 21 x 95 = 1995
35 and 57 35 x 57 = 1995

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 1995. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1995 would be ( -1 , -1995 ) , ( -3 , -665 ) , ( -5 , -399 ) , ( -7 , -285 ) , ( -15 , -133 ) , ( -19 , -105 ) , ( -21 , -95 ) and ( -35 , -57 ) .

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 number is a factor of zero (0), since 1995 x 0 = 0.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 19, 21, 35, 57, 95, 105, 133, 285, 399, 665, 1995 are exact divisors of 1995.
  • Factors of 1995 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 19, 21, 35, 57, 95, 105, 133, 285, 399, 665, 1995. Each factor divides 1995 without leaving a remainder.
