Steps to find factors of 1001 in pair

Example: Find factors of 1001 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1001 1 x 1001 = 1001
7 and 143 7 x 143 = 1001
11 and 91 11 x 91 = 1001
13 and 77 13 x 77 = 1001

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 1001. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1001 would be ( -1 , -1001 ) .

Introduction to factor pairs

Factor pair in mathematics is defined as all factors of a given number which when written in pair and multiplied gives the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 1001 are 1 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 77 , 91 , 143 , 1001. So, factors of 1001 in pair are (1,1001), (7,143), (11,91), (13,77).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 7, 11, 13, 77, 91, 143, 1001 are exact divisors of 1001.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 1001 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1001.

Steps to find Factors of 1001

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 1001 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 500 (half of 1001). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    1001 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 77 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 91 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 143 : Remainder = 0
    1001 ÷ 1001 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 1001 are 1, 7, 11, 13, 77, 91, 143, and 1001
