1. Steps to find factors of 465 using Division Method

Example: Find factors of 465

  • Divide 465 by 1: 465 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 3: 465 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 5: 465 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 15: 465 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 31: 465 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 93: 465 ÷ 93 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 155: 465 ÷ 155 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 465 by 465: 465 ÷ 465 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 465 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 31, 93, 155, and 465

2. Steps to find factors of 465 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 465 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 465 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 465, which is 3. Divide 465 by 3 to obtain the quotient (155).
    465 ÷ 3 = 155
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (155).
    155 ÷ 5 = 31
    31 ÷ 31 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 465 is, 465 = 3 x 5 x 31.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 465 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 465 is, 465 = 3 x 5 x 31.

3. Find factors of 465 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 465 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 465 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 465 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 465 1 x 465 = 465
3 and 155 3 x 155 = 465
5 and 93 5 x 93 = 465
15 and 31 15 x 31 = 465

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 465. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 465 would be ( -1 , -465 ) , ( -3 , -155 ) , ( -5 , -93 ) and ( -15 , -31 ) .

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, 3, 5, 15, 31, 93, 155, 465 are exact divisors of 465.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 465 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 465.
