What are the factors of 875

Step 1. Looks like 875 is divisible by 25 or 5*5 (Think of quarters like $8.75): 875/(5*5)=35

Step 2. Take quotient of 35 and find its factors. Looks like again 5 comes into play: 35/5=7

Check 5*5*5*7=875...true statement

Step 3. ANSWER: Factors of 875 are 5, 5, 5, and 7

I hope the above steps were helpful.
