How many positive factors does 125 have?

To find the number of positive factors of 125, we start with its prime factorization: (125 = 5^3). To determine the number of positive factors, we take the exponent of each prime factor, add 1, and then multiply the results. Thus, the number of positive factors is (3 + 1 = 4). Therefore, 125 has 4 positive factors: 1, 5, 25, and 125.
