Factors of 225 are the natural numbers, by which the original number is completely divisible.Thus, factors are also called the divisor of natural numbers, sometimes. If the multiplication of two natural numbers is equal to 225, they become the factors. 225 is a composite number. Also, 225 is divisible by 5 (by divisibility rules).
Since, 15 x 15 = 225 = 152
Therefore, another important property of 225 is it is a perfect square.
Let us find the factors of 225 along with pair factors and prime factors.
How to Find the Factors of 225?
To find the factors of 225, we need to check, by which numbers or integers, 225 is completely divisible. Since, we know, every number is divisible by itself and 1. Thus, the two factors are already determined. Now the rest of factors can be evaluated by the division method.
225 ÷ 1 = 225
225 ÷ 3 = 75
225 ÷ 5 = 45
225 ÷ 9 = 25
225 ÷ 15 = 15
225 ÷ 25 = 9
225 ÷ 45 = 5
225 ÷ 75 = 3
225 ÷ 225 = 1
Therefore, we can conclude that there are a total nine factors of 85, i.e., 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 45, 75 and 225.

Pair Factors of 225
When the product of two integers results in 225, then they become the pair factors. Hence,
- 1 × 225 = 225
- 3 × 75 = 225
- 5 × 45 = 225
- 9 × 25 = 225
- 15 × 15 = 225
Therefore, the pair factors of 225 are (1, 225), (3, 75), (5, 45), (9,25) and (15, 15).
We can consider to multiply two negative numbers to get the factors in pairs, such that;
- -1 × -225 = 225
- -3 × -75 = 225
- -5 × -45 = 225
- -9 × -25 = 225
- -15 × -15 = 225
Therefore, the negative pair factors are (-1, -225), (-3, -75), (-5, -45), (-9, -25) and (-15, -15).
Prime Factorisation of 225
Prime factorisation of 225 will produce the prime factors form of original number. Let us see, what are the prime factors of 225.
| Dividing 225 by smallest prime number | 225 ÷ 3 = 75 |
| Again dividing 75 by smallest prime number | 75 ÷ 3 = 25 |
| Dividing 25 by 5 | 25 ÷ 5 = 5 |
| Again, dividing 5 by 5 | 5 ÷ 5 = 1 |
Therefore, prime factors of 225 are 3 and 5.

Prime factorisation of 225 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 Exponential form = 32 x 52 |

Solved Examples
Q.1: There are 45 students in a classroom. Seema wants to distribute 225 chocolates on the occasion of her birthday to all the students. How can she divide and distribute the chocolates to each student?
Solution: Given,
Number of students = 45
Number of chocolates = 225
Number of chocolates each student should get = 225/45 = 5
Therefore, Seema has to give 5 chocolates to each student.
Q.2: What is the sum of all the factors of 225?
Solution: The factors of 225 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 45, 75, and 225.
Sum = 1+3+5+9+15+25+45+75+225 = 403
Therefore, the required sum is 403.
Q.3: What are the common factors of 255 and 225?
Solution: Let us list the factors of both the numbers 117 and 225.
225 → 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 45, 75, 225
255 → 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
Therefore, the common factors of 225 and 255 are 1, 3, 5 and 15.
Q.4: Find the GCF of 200 and 225.
Solution: The individual factors are:
200 → 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200
225 → 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 45, 75, 225
Therefore, the greatest common factor of 200 and 225 is:
GCF (200, 225) = 25
