What Are the Factors of 105?
Factors of 105 are the numbers that divide 105 perfectly without leaving any remainder.
The factors of 105 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, and 105.
How to Calculate the Factors of 105?
To calculate the factors of 105, we can use the division method. Let's start with 1.
105 ÷ 1 leaves remainder 0.
Since 105 is not an even number, 2 does not divide 105 completely. Thus, it leaves a remainder.
105 ÷ 3 leaves remainder 0.
105 ÷ 5 leaves remainder 0.
105 ÷ 7 leaves remainder 0.
105 ÷ 15 leaves remainder 0.
105 ÷ 21 leaves remainder 0.
105÷ 35 leaves remainder 0.
105 ÷ 105 leaves remainder 0.
Thus, the factors of 105 that we have obtained are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, and 105.

Factors of 105 by Prime Factorization
Prime factorization means expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors.
Prime factorization of 105 = 3 × 5 × 7. We can determine the other composite factors of 105 from its prime factors. We can see that 35 is a factor of 105. Similarly, 15 and 21 are also factors of 105.
Factors of 105 in Pairs
The pair of numbers that give 105 on multiplication are the factors of 105 in pairs. Look at the rainbow below. We start from 1 and move forward by including the numbers that give us 105 as their product.
We get the following combinations: 1 × 105, 3 × 35, 5 × 21, and 7 × 15.
Tips and Tricks:
- All the numbers have at least two factors. 105 will have the first factor as 1 and the other factor is 105 itself.
- Factors of 105 are all the possible numbers 105 is divisible by. They may be prime numbers or composite numbers.
- Factors are always integers. They can never be fractions or decimals.
Factors of 105 Solved Examples
-
Example 1: 105 students are to be divided into groups such that there are an equal number of students in each group. In how many ways can they be grouped?
Solution:
We will use the concept of factor pairing to divide 105 students into groups.
We know that (35, 3), (5, 21), and (7, 15) are the factor pairs of 105.
Thus, the students can be grouped in three different ways.
-
Example 2: Emily has a chocolate box with 105 chocolates in it. She distributed the chocolates among her classmates. Can you find the total number of students if she gives 5 chocolate to each one of them?
Solution:
Given, total number of chocolates = 105
Chocolates given to each student = 5
Thus, the number of students in the class is = 105 ÷ 5 = 21 students.
Here we can see the numbers used, i.e. (5,21), is a pair factor of 105.
-
Example 3: Is there any chance that you can divide 105 geometry boxes equally among 50 kids?
Solution: Clearly, the answer is NO! Because 50 is not a factor of 105 and leaves a remainder, so we cannot distribute 105 geometry boxes to 50 kids equally.
FAQs on Factors of 105
What are the Factors of 105?
The factors of 105 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 105 and its negative factors are -1, -3, -5, -7, -15, -21, -35, -105.
