What are Factors of 315?
Factors of 315 are pairs of those numbers whose products result in 315. These factors are either prime numbers or composite numbers.
How to Find the Factors of 315?
To find the factors of 315, we will have to find the list of numbers that would divide 315 without leaving any remainder.
- 315/7 = 45; therefore, 7 is a factor of 315 and 45 is also a factor of 315.
- 315/21 = 15; therefore, 21 is a factor of 315 and 15 is also a factor of 315.

Factors of 315 by Prime Factorization
- 315 ÷ 3 = 105
- 105 ÷ 3 = 35
Further dividing 35 by 3 gives a non-zero remainder. So we stop the process and continue dividing the number 35 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 315 can be written as 32 × 51 × 71 where 3, 5, 7 are prime.
Factors of 315 in Pairs
Pair factors of 315 are the pairs of numbers that when multiplied give the product 315. The factors of 315 in pairs are:
- 1 × 315 = (1, 315)
- 3 × 105 = (3, 105)
- 5 × 63 = (5, 63)
- 7 × 45 = (7, 45)
- 9 × 35 = (9, 35)
- 15 × 21 = (15, 21)
Negative pair factors of 315 are:
- -1 × -315 = (-1, -315)
- -3 × -105 = (-3, -105)
- -5 × -63 = (-5, -63)
- -7 × -45 = (-7, -45)
- -9 × -35 = (-9, -35)
- -15 × -21 = (-15, -21)
NOTE: If (a, b) is a pair factor of a number then (b, a) is also a pair factor of that number.
Factors of 315 Solved Examples

Example 1: How many factors are there for 315?
Solution:
The factors of 315 are too many, therefore if we can find the prime factorization of 315, then the total number of factors can be calculated using the formula shown below.
If the prime factorization of the number is ax × by × cz 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 315 = 32 × 51 × 71
Therefore, the total number of factors are (2 + 1) × (1 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12 -
Example 2: Find the Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 315 and 106.
Solution:
