Here’s more about the number 1395:
- 1395 is a composite number.
- Prime factorization: 1395 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 31, which can be written 1395 = 3² × 5 × 31
- 1395 has at least one exponent greater than 1 in its prime factorization so √1395 can be simplified. Taking the factor pair from the factor pair table below with the largest square number factor, we get √1395 = (√9)(√155) = 3√155
- The exponents in the prime factorization are 2, 1, and 1. Adding one to each exponent and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12. Therefore 1395 has exactly 12 factors.
- The factors of 1395 are outlined with their factor pair partners in the graphic below.
You can see the reasons 1395 is the 22nd Friedman numbers in these factor pairs:
15 × 93 = 1395
45 × 31 = 5×9×31 = 1395, that one uses the digits in reverse order!
1395 is also the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
837-1116-1395 which is (3-4-5) times 279
