- Prime factors and prime factorization
Finding Factors Using Multiplication
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 100000000. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 100000000 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 100000000 by 1, 100000000 × 1 = 100000000.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 100000000 after multiplying:
2 × 50000000 = 100000000
4 × 25000000 = 100000000
5 × 20000000 = 100000000
8 × 12500000 = 100000000
10 × 10000000 = 100000000 ...and so on until all factor pairs are found.
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 100000000 include: (1, 100000000), (2, 50000000), (4, 25000000), (5, 20000000), (8, 12500000), (10, 10000000), etc. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Finding Factors Using Division Method
Dividing the given numbers with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -
Step 1: Divide 100000000 by 1, 100000000 ÷ 1 = 100000000.
Step 2: Continue dividing 100000000 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
100000000 ÷ 1 = 100000000
100000000 ÷ 2 = 50000000
100000000 ÷ 4 = 25000000
100000000 ÷ 5 = 20000000
100000000 ÷ 8 = 12500000 ...and so on until all factors are listed.
Therefore, the factors of 100000000 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 64, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 625, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3125, 4000, 5000, 6250, 8000, 10000, 12500, 15625, 20000, 25000, 31250, 40000, 50000, 78125, 100000, 125000, 156250, 200000, 250000, 312500, 400000, 500000, 625000, 1000000, 1250000, 1562500, 2000000, 2500000, 3125000, 5000000, 6250000, 10000000, 12500000, 20000000, 25000000, 50000000, 100000000.
Prime Factors and Prime Factorization
The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
- Using prime factorization
- Using factor tree
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 100000000 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
100000000 ÷ 2 = 50000000
50000000 ÷ 2 = 25000000
25000000 ÷ 2 = 12500000
12500000 ÷ 2 = 6250000
6250000 ÷ 2 = 3125000
3125000 ÷ 2 = 1562500
1562500 ÷ 2 = 781250
781250 ÷ 2 = 390625
390625 ÷ 5 = 78125
78125 ÷ 5 = 15625
15625 ÷ 5 = 3125
3125 ÷ 5 = 625
625 ÷ 5 = 125
125 ÷ 5 = 25
25 ÷ 5 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
The prime factors of 100000000 are 2 and 5. The prime factorization of 100000000 is: 28 × 58.
Factor Tree
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show -
Step 1: Firstly, 100000000 is divided by 2 to get 50000000.
Step 2: Now divide 50000000 by 2 to get 25000000.
Step 3: Then divide 25000000 by 2 to get 12500000. ...continue this process until reaching the smallest prime numbers. So, the prime factorization of 100000000 is: 28 × 58.
Factor Pairs:Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Factors of 100000000
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor
People might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every number. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself. For example, in factors of 100000000, 1 and 100000000 are also factors.
Factors of 100000000 Examples
Problem 1
There are 10 million grains of rice and 100000000 students. How will they divide the grains equally?
They will get 0.1 grains each.
Explanation
To divide the grains equally, we need to divide the total grains by the number of students.
10000000/100000000 = 0.1
Problem 2
A large rectangular plot has a length of 1000 meters, and the total area is 100000000 square meters. Find the width.
100000 meters.
Explanation
To find the width of the plot, we use the formula:
Area = length × width
100000000 = 1000 × width
To find the value of width, we need to shift 1000 to the left side.
100000000/1000 = width
Width = 100000.
Problem 3
There are 50 large boxes and 100000000 grains of wheat. How many grains will be in each box?
Each box will have 2000000 grains.
Explanation
To find the grains in each box, divide the total grains by the number of boxes.
100000000/50 = 2000000
Problem 4
In a company, there are 100000000 units of product and 1000 warehouses. How many units are there in each warehouse?
There are 100000 units in each warehouse.
Explanation
Dividing the units by the total number of warehouses will give the number of units in each warehouse.
100000000/1000 = 100000
Problem 5
100000000 pages need to be printed and distributed in 250000 copies. How many pages will go in each copy?
Each copy will have 400 pages.
Explanation
Divide the total pages by the number of copies.
100000000/250000 = 400
