775 and Level 2

• 775 is a composite number.
• Prime factorization: 775 = 5 x 5 x 31, which can be written 775 = (5^2) x 31
• The exponents in the prime factorization are 2 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 x 2  = 6. Therefore 775 has exactly 6 factors.
• Factors of 775: 1, 5, 25, 31, 155, 775
• Factor pairs: 775 = 1 x 775, 5 x 155, or 25 x 31
• Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √775 = (√25)(√31) = 5√31 ≈ 27.83882181.
