<PRE><B>Question 216684</B>
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.
