1. Steps to find factors of 605 using Division Method

Example: Find factors of 605

  • Divide 605 by 1: 605 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 605 by 5: 605 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 605 by 11: 605 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 605 by 55: 605 ÷ 55 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 605 by 121: 605 ÷ 121 : Remainder = 0
  • Divide 605 by 605: 605 ÷ 605 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 605 are 1, 5, 11, 55, 121, and 605

2. Steps to find factors of 605 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 605 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 605 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 605, which is 5. Divide 605 by 5 to obtain the quotient (121).
    605 ÷ 5 = 121
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (121).
    121 ÷ 11 = 11
    11 ÷ 11 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 605 is, 605 = 5 x 11 x 11.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 605 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 605 is, 605 = 5 x 11 x 11.

3. Find factors of 605 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 605 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 605 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 605 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 605 1 x 605 = 605
5 and 121 5 x 121 = 605
11 and 55 11 x 55 = 605

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 605. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 605 would be ( -1 , -605 ) , ( -5 , -121 ) and ( -11 , -55 ) .

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, 11, 55, 121, 605 are exact divisors of 605.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 605 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 605.
