Factors of 525 that add upto 20

Steps to find factors of 525 that add upto 20

• Find all factors.
• Then we find the sum of combinations of factors.
• Note down the combination of factors with sum as 20, and read off the answer!

Steps to find Factors of 525

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 525 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 262 (half of 525). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  525 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 21 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 25 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 75 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 105 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 175 : Remainder = 0

  525 ÷ 525 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 525 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 25, 35, 75, 105, 175, and 525

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is that number which divides into another completely, i.e. leaving 0 as a remainder. Or we can say, any numbers when multiplied together to give a product are termed as the factors of that obtained product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 25, 35, 75, 105, 175, 525 are exact divisors of 525.
• Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
• Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 525 is a factor of itself.
• 1 is the common and smallest natural factor every number can have.
• Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 25, 35, 75, 105, 175, 525 are all less than or equal to 525.
