Question

consider the number 100. find the following .
1 sum of factors- _________
2 number of factors-_________
3 product of first five factors

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 217

2. 9

3. 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor : 1,2,4,5,10, 20,25,50,100

Answer 2

Given : The main number is 100

To find :

1. Sum of factors of the main number.
2. Number of factors of the main number.
3. Product of first five factors of the main number.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

To solve this mathematical problem, we have to know more about the factors of a number.

What is a factor of a number?

• "Factors of a number can be defined as the numbers which are able to evenly (or, exactly) divide the main number."
• Example : 1,2,4,8 are factors of 8

Similarly,

The factors of 100 are = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100

1. Sum of the factors = (1+2+4+5+10+20+25+50+100) = 217
2. Number of factors = 9 (obtained by counting the previously mentioned factors of 100)
3. Product of first five factors = (1×2×4×5×10) = 400

Hence, the sum of the factors is 217 , number of factors is 9 , product of first five factors is 400
