Steps to find factors of 101 in pair

Example: Find factors of 101 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 101 1 x 101 = 101

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 101. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 101 would be ( -1 , -101 ) , .

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 101 are 1 , 101. So, factors of 101 in pair are (1,101).

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, 101 are exact divisors of 101.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 101 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 101.

Steps to find Factors of 101

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 101 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 50 (half of 101). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    101 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    101 ÷ 101 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 101 are 1 and 101

Frequently Asked Questions
