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:
The prime divisors of 100 are 2 and 5.
Sum, Product & Number of Divisors of 100
The prime factorization of 100 is given below.
100 = 22 × 52
(i) By the number of divisors formula, we have that the number of divisors of 100 is
=(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
=1009/2
=109
