A factor of a number is any number that can divide it evenly (without any remainder).
For example, factors of 35 are the numbers that divide 35 completely without any remainder.
To find the factors of 35, we check which numbers can divide 35 evenly:
- 1 × 35 = 35
- 5 × 7 = 35
So, the factors of 35 are:
1, 5, 7, and 35
These are the only numbers that can divide 35 without leaving a remainder.

1. How to Find Factors of 35?
Factors are numbers that divide 35 evenly.
Steps:
1 × 35 = 35
5 × 7 = 35
So, the factors of 35 are: 1, 5, 7, and 35
2. What is the Prime Factor Tree Method of 35?
Prime Factor Tree of 35:
Start with 35 → Split into 5 and 7 (since 5 × 7 = 35).
Both 5 and 7 are prime.

3. How Do You Know That 35 is a Common Factor?
Check if 35 is a factor of both numbers.
Steps:
Example:
Factors of 70: 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70
Factors of 105: 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 105
Since 35 is in both lists, 35 is a common factor of 70 and 105.
