What are the Factors of 255?

The following are the different types of factors of 255:

• Factors of 255: 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255

• Negative Factors of 255: -1, -3, -5, -15, -17, -51, -85, -255

• Prime Factors of 255: 3, 5, 17

• Prime Factorization of 255: $3^1\times5^1\times17^1$

Factors by Division Method

To calculate the factors of 255, start by dividing the numbers by the smallest prime number, which is 2. If the number is not divisible by 2, proceed to the next prime number, such as 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and continue this process until you reach 1.

Step 1: 255 ÷ 3 = 85
Step 2: 85 ÷ 5 = 17
Step 3: 17 ÷ 17 = 1

In step 3, we have reached to 1, and so, the process is stopped.

• Prime Factors of 255: $3\times5\times17$

• Prime Factorization of 255: $3^1\times5^1\times17^1$

The factors will be all the multiples of 1, 3, 5, 17, 85, 255

Calculating all the factors:
3 = 1 x 3
5 = 1 x 5
15 = 1 x 3 x 5
17 = 1 x 17
51 = 3 x 17
85 = 1 x 85
255 = 1 x 255

Finally Factors of 255 = 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
