What are Factors of 2560?

Factors of 2560 are pairs of those numbers whose products result in 2560. These factors are either prime numbers or composite numbers.

How to Find the Factors of 2560?

To find the factors of 2560, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 2560 without leaving any remainder.

2560/1 = 2560; therefore, 1 is a factor of 2560.
2560/1280 = 2; therefore, 1280 is a factor of 2560.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 2560 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160, 256, 320, 512, 640, 1280, 2560.

Factors of 2560 by Prime Factorization

The number 2560 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 2560. The first step is to divide the number 2560 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 2. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

2560 ÷ 2 = 1280
1280 ÷ 2 = 640
640 ÷ 2 = 320
320 ÷ 2 = 160
160 ÷ 2 = 80
80 ÷ 2 = 40
40 ÷ 2 = 20
20 ÷ 2 = 10
10 ÷ 2 = 5

Further dividing 5 by 2 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 5 by the next smallest prime factor. We stop ultimately if the next prime factor doesn't exist or when we can't divide any further.

So, the prime factorization of 2560 can be written as 2⁹ × 5¹ where 2, 5 are prime.

Factors of 2560 in Pairs

Pair factors of 2560 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 2560. The factors of 2560 in pairs are:

1 × 2560 = (1, 2560)
2 × 1280 = (2, 1280)
4 × 640 = (4, 640)
5 × 512 = (5, 512)
8 × 320 = (8, 320)
10 × 256 = (10, 256)
16 × 160 = (16, 160)
20 × 128 = (20, 128)
32 × 80 = (32, 80)
40 × 64 = (40, 64)

Negative pair factors of 2560 are:

-1 × -2560 = (-1, -2560)
-2 × -1280 = (-2, -1280)
-4 × -640 = (-4, -640)
-5 × -512 = (-5, -512)
-8 × -320 = (-8, -320)
-10 × -256 = (-10, -256)
-16 × -160 = (-16, -160)
-20 × -128 = (-20, -128)
-32 × -80 = (-32, -80)
-40 × -64 = (-40, -64)

NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.

Factors of 2560 Solved Examples

Example 1: How many factors are there for 2560?

Solution:

The factors of 2560 are too many, therefore if we can find the prime factorization of 2560, then the total number of factors can be calculated using the formula shown below.
If the prime factorization of the number is a^x × b^y × c^z where a, b, c are prime, then the total number of factors can be given by (x + 1)(y + 1)(z + 1).

Prime Factorization of 2560 = 2⁹ × 5¹
Therefore, the total number of factors are (9 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 10 × 2 = 20
Example 2: Find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2560 and 1788.

Solution:

The factors of 2560 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160, 256, 320, 512, 640, 1280, 2560 and factors of 1788 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 149, 298, 447, 596, 894, 1788.

Therefore, the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of 2560 and 1788 is 1144320 and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2560 and 1788 is 4.
Example 3: Find if 8, 40, 64, 80, 320, 512, 1280 and 1709 are factors of 2560.

Solution:

When we divide 2560 by 1709 it leaves a remainder. Therefore, the number 1709 is not a factor of 2560. All numbers except 1709 are factors of 2560.
Example 4: Find the product of all the prime factors of 2560.

Solution:

Since, the prime factors of 2560 are 2, 5. Therefore, the product of prime factors = 2 × 5 = 10.
