<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 5. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 5 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 5 by 1, 5 × 1 = 5. Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 5 are: (1, 5). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<p>Dividing the given numbers with the<a>whole numbers</a>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 5 by 1, 5 ÷ 1 = 5. Step 2: Continue dividing 5 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 5 ÷ 1 = 5 5 ÷ 5 = 1 Therefore, the factors of 5 are: 1 and 5.</p>

<h2>Factor Tree</h2>
17
<p>The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. Since 5 is a prime number, it cannot be broken down further. So, the prime factorization of 5 is: 5. 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 5: (1, 5). Negative factor pairs of 5: (-1, -5).</p>
