What are Divisors of 10

A number n is a divisor of 10 if $\dfrac{10}{n}$ is an integer. Note that if 10/n=m is an integer, then both m and n will be the divisors of 10.

We have:

10/1=10	1, 10 are divisors of 10.
10/2=5	2, 5 are divisors of 10

No numbers other than 1, 2, 5, and 10 can divide 10. So we conclude that

The divisors of 10 are: 1, 2, 5, and 10.

Thus, the total number of divisors of 10 is four.

Negative Divisors of 10

We know that if m is a divisor of a number, then -m is also a divisor of that number.

As the divisors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10, we can say that the negative divisors of 10 are -1, -2, -5, and –10.

Prime Divisors of 10

The divisors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10. Among these numbers, we see that 2 and 5 are prime numbers. So we obtain that:

The prime divisors of 10 are 2 and 5.

Sum, Product & Number of Divisors of 10

The prime factorization of 10 is given below.

10 = 2¹×5¹

(i) By the number of divisors formula, we have that the number of divisors of 10 is

=(1+1)(1+1)=2×2=4.

(ii) By the sum of divisors formula, we have that the sum of the divisors of 10 is

$=\dfrac{2^2-1}{2-1} \times \dfrac{5^2-1}{5-1}$

$=\dfrac{4-1}{1} \times \dfrac{25-1}{4}$

$=3 \times 6=18$

(iii) By the product of divisors formula, we have that the product of the divisors of 10 is

=10^{(Number of divisors of 10)/2}

=10^4/2

=10²
