Factors are the numbers that divide any given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing the items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 7225, how they are used in real life, and the tips to learn them quickly.

What are the Factors of 7225?

The numbers that divide 7225 evenly are known as factors of 7225.

A factor of 7225 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

The factors of 7225 are 1, 5, 25, 289, 1445, and 7225.

Negative factors of 7225: -1, -5, -25, -289, -1445, and -7225.

Prime factors of 7225: 5 and 17.

Prime factorization of 7225: 52 × 172.

The sum of factors of 7225: 1 + 5 + 25 + 289 + 1445 + 7225 = 8990

How to Find Factors of 7225?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

  • Finding factors using multiplication
     
  • Finding factors using division method
     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 7225. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 7225 is the multiplication method.

Step 1: Multiply 7225 by 1, 7225 × 1 = 7225.

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 7225 after multiplying:

5 × 1445 = 7225

25 × 289 = 7225

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 7225 are: (1, 7225), (5, 1445), (25, 289).

All these factor pairs result in 7225.

For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following the simple division method:

Step 1: Divide 7225 by 1, 7225 ÷ 1 = 7225.

Step 2: Continue dividing 7225 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

7225 ÷ 1 = 7225

7225 ÷ 5 = 1445

7225 ÷ 25 = 289

Therefore, the factors of 7225 are: 1, 5, 25, 289, 1445, 7225.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 7225 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

7225 ÷ 5 = 1445

1445 ÷ 5 = 289

289 ÷ 17 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

The prime factors of 7225 are 5 and 17.

The prime factorization of 7225 is: 52 × 172.

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:

Step 1: Firstly, 7225 is divided by 5 to get 1445.

Step 2: Now divide 1445 by 5 to get 289.

Step 3: Then divide 289 by 17 to get 17. Here, 17 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 7225 is: 52 × 172.

Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs.

Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

Positive factor pairs of 7225: (1, 7225), (5, 1445), (25, 289).

Negative factor pairs of 7225: (-1, -7225), (-5, -1445), (-25, -289).

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 7225

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 25 meters and a total area of 7225 square meters. Find the width.

Okay, lets begin

289 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula:

Area = length × width

7225 = 25 × width

To find the value of width, we need to shift 25 to the left side.

7225/25 = width

Width = 289.
