What are the whole numbers that are factors of 950?

Answer 1

950 can be factored into primes as 2*5*5*19. Any combination of these factors, when multiplied together, will be a factor of 950. The possible combinations are:

2*5 = 10

2*5*5 = 50

5*5 = 25

2*5*19 = 190

5*5*19 = 475

2*19 = 38

5*19 = 95

2*5*5*19 = 950 (yep, every number is a factor of itself!)

Lets not forget the prime factors themselves, alone: 2, 5, 19

And, of course, no numbers multiplied together is just 1 which is also a factor of 950.

This same technique can be used to find all the factors of any number.
