Question

The sum of all the possible factors of 500 (including 1 and 500 itself ) equals ?

Answer 1

First we need to find the possible factors of 500.

In short we have to collect all positive integers which can divide 500 evenly.

List of divisrs are

{1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500}

Now we just need to add them

1+ 2+ 4+ 5+ 10+ 20+ 25+ 50+ 100+ 125+ 250+ 500

=1092

Hence final answer is 1092.
