Factors of 950:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 950, we found that 950 has factors 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475 and 950. Hence, we must say that 950 is a composite number.
- Thus, 950 is the composite umber.
- If we multiply 950 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 950 which are 950, 1900 and so on.
About the number 950:
- 950 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475 and 950 and hence it is the composite number.
- 950 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 950 by 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475 and 950 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475 and 950 are the factors of 950.
Note:
- 950 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 950: 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475 and 950
- Prime factors of 950: 2, 5, 19
Conclusion:
- 950 is the composite number which has factors1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475 and 950
- And hence, 950 is not the prime number.
