What are Divisors of 100

A number n is a divisor of 100 if $\dfrac{100}{n}$ is an integer. Note that if 100/n=m is an integer, then both m and n will be the divisors of 100.

To find the divisors of 100, we need to find the number n such that 100/n becomes an integer. We have:

100/1=100	1, 100 are divisors of 100.
100/2=50	2, 50 are divisors of 100
100/4=25	4, 25 are divisors of 100
100/5=20	5, 20 are divisors of 100
100/10=10	10 is a divisor of 100

No numbers other than 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100 can divide 100. So we conclude that

The divisors of 100 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100.

Thus, the total number of divisors of 100 is nine.

Negative Divisors of 100

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

As the divisors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100, we can say that:

The negative divisors of 100 are -1, -2, -4, -5, -10, -20, -25, -50, and -100.

Prime Divisors of 100

The divisors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100. Among these numbers, only 2 and 5 are prime numbers. So we obtain that:

=(2+1)(2+1)=3×3=9.

(ii) By the sum of divisors formula, we have that the sum of the divisors of 100 is

$=\dfrac{2^3-1}{2-1} \times \dfrac{5^3-1}{5-1}$

$=\dfrac{8-1}{1} \times \dfrac{125-1}{4}$

$=7 \times 31=217$

(iii) By the product of divisors formula, we have that the product of the divisors of 100 is

=100^{(Number of divisors of 100)/2}

=100^9/2

=10⁹
