How to Find the Factors of 265?

To find the factors of 265, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 265 without leaving any remainder.

• 265/53 = 5; therefore, 53 is a factor of 265 and 5 is also a factor of 265.
• 265/1 = 265; therefore, 1 is a factor of 265 and 265 is also a factor of 265.

Similarly we can find other factors. Hence, the factors of 265 are 1, 5, 53, 265.

• Factors of 99 - The factors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 99
• Factors of 81 - The factors of 81 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
• Factors of 34 - The factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, 34

The number 265 is composite and therefore it will have prime factors. Now let us learn how to calculate the prime factors of 265. The first step is to divide the number 265 with the smallest prime factor, here it is 5. We keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.

• 265 ÷ 5 = 53

Further dividing 53 by 5 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 53 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 265 can be written as 5¹ × 53¹ where 5, 53 are prime.

Pair factors of 265 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 265. The factors of 265 in pairs are:

• 1 × 265 = (1, 265)
• 5 × 53 = (5, 53)

Negative pair factors of 265 are:

• -1 × -265 = (-1, -265)
• -5 × -53 = (-5, -53)

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