Question

Express 265 as the product of primes​

Answer 1

Here we have a collection of all the information you may need about the Prime Factors of 265. We will give you the definition of Prime Factors of 265, show you how to find the Prime Factors of 265 (Prime Factorization of 265) by creating a Prime Factor Tree of 265, tell you how many Prime Factors of 265 there are, and we will show you the Product of Prime Factors of 265.

Prime Factors of 265 definition

First note that prime numbers are all positive integers that can only be evenly divided by 1 and itself. Prime Factors of 265 are all the prime numbers that when multiplied together equal 265.

How to find the Prime Factors of 265

The process of finding the Prime Factors of 265 is called Prime Factorization of 265. To get the Prime Factors of 265, you divide 265 by the smallest prime number possible. Then you take the result from that and divide that by the smallest prime number. Repeat this process until you end up with 1.

This Prime Factorization process creates what we call the Prime Factor Tree of 265. All the prime numbers that are used to divide in the Prime Factor Tree are the Prime Factors of 265. Here is the math to illustrate:

265 ÷ 5 = 53

53 ÷ 53 = 1

Again, all the prime numbers you used to divide above are the Prime Factors of 265. Thus, the Prime Factors of 265 are:
