<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 2.5. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 2.5 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 2.5 by 1, 2.5 × 1 = 2.5. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 2.5 after multiplying 0.5 × 5 = 2.5 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 2.5 are: (1, 2.5) and (0.5, 5).</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 a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 2.5 by 1, 2.5 ÷ 1 = 2.5. Step 2: Continue dividing 2.5 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 2.5 ÷ 1 = 2.5 2.5 ÷ 0.5 = 5 2.5 ÷ 2.5 = 1 Therefore, the factors of 2.5 are: 1, 2.5, 0.5, and 5.</p>
