What are the Factors of 250?
Factors of 250 are all the numbers which on multiplying give the value 250. 250 is an even composite number.
250 is a multiple of 2, 5 and 10. Thus 2, 5, 10 are the factors of 250. Let's find which all numbers multiply together to form 250.
How to Calculate the Factors of 250?
The factors of 250 are integers that divide 250 without any remainder.
- Let's learn how to calculate factors of 250
- Let's begin dividing 250 with the natural numbers, starting with 1.
- 250 ÷ 1 = 250, Remainder = 0
- 250 ÷ 2 = 125, Remainder = 0
- 250 ÷ 5 = 50, Remainder = 0
- 250 ÷ 10 = 25, Remainder = 0
- All the divisors and the quotients thus obtained on division form the factors of 250. They are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125 and 250.

Factors of 250 by Prime Factorization
Prime factorization means to express a composite number as the product of its prime factors.
- To get the prime factorization of 250, we divide it by its smallest prime factor which is 2
250 ÷ 2 = 125 - Now divide 125 by its smallest prime factor.
125 ÷ 5 = 25 - This process goes on till we get the quotient as 1.
25 ÷ 5 = 5 and 5 ÷ 5 = 1 - The prime factorization of 245 is shown below in 2 ways:
We stop the factor tree as we cannot branch further because 2 and 5 are the prime numbers. Therefore, the prime factorization of 250 is 2 x 5 x 5 x 5.
These 4 prime factors can be multiplied in pairs in all the possible ways to get the factors of 250.
Factors of 250 in Pairs
Now that we are familiar with the factors of 250, let's write factors of 250 in pairs.
The factor-pairs of 250 are (1, 250), (2, 125), (5, 50), (25, 10).
It is possible to have negative pair factors as well because the product of two negative numbers also gives a positive number.
So, we can have negative factor-pairs of 250 as (-1,-250), (-2,-125), (-5,-50), (-25, -10)
Important Notes
- 250 is an even composite number.
- The only prime factors of 250 are 2 and 5
