Steps to find factors of 100 in pair

Example: Find factors of 100 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 100 1 x 100 = 100
2 and 50 2 x 50 = 100
4 and 25 4 x 25 = 100
5 and 20 5 x 20 = 100
10 and 10 10 x 10 = 100

Since the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number, the product of the negative values of both the numbers in a pair factor will also give 100. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 100 would be ( -1 , -100 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 100 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 10 , 20 , 25 , 50 , 100. So, factors of 100 in pair are (1,100), (2,50), (4,25), (5,20), (10,10).

What are factors?

In mathematics, a factor is that number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 100 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 100.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 100 x 0 = 0.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 are exact divisors of 100.
  • Factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100. Each factor divides 100 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 are all less than or equal to 100.

Steps to find Factors of 100

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 100 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 50 (half of 100). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    100 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 20 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 25 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 50 : Remainder = 0
    100 ÷ 100 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100
