A composite number is a number that has at least 3 factors. (It can be evenly divided by at least 3 number.) 25 has 3 factors: 1, 5, and 25.
1 has the least factors.
Square numbers have odd amounts of factors because the square root is listed as a single factor, not a pair of factors. For example, the factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25.
A composite number is a number that is not a prime number, ie it has more than two distinct factors. The factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25 - three distinct factors.
1, 5, 25 are the only factors of 25. So, there are 3 factors of 25. Note: We only care about POSITIVE INTEGERS.
1, 5 and 25.
Square numbers have an odd number of factors. Other numbers have an even number of factors. The squares between 12 and 40 include 16, 25, and 36. If the number has only three factors, it must be the square of a prime number, since two of the factors will be 1 and itself, so if there is only one more factor, this third number cannot have factors itself. This means the number must be 25, whose factors are 1, 5, and 25. Response: 24 has (at least) three factors - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 .
A prime number has no factors other than 1 and itself. 25 is a composite number because its factors are 1, 5, and 25.
25
If a number can be divided with small numbers or numbers equal to it than those numbers are known as factors, for example we have number "25" the the factors of this number would be 1,3,5 and 25 because 25 can be divided with all of the above mentioned numbers. Hence every number [rather than 1] has at least two factors. the first factor is the "1" and the secondly all the numbers are the factor of their self.
Actually, 25 is NOT a proper factor of 25. Factors are numbers that, when multiplied with another factor, result in the number, like 25. Proper factors are just like regular factors EXCEPT they do not include the actual number. The proper factors of 25 are 1 and 5.
