Steps to find factors of 104 in pair

Example: Find factors of 104 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 104 1 x 104 = 104
2 and 52 2 x 52 = 104
4 and 26 4 x 26 = 104
8 and 13 8 x 13 = 104

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 104. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 104 would be ( -1 , -104 ) .

What does factor pairs of a number mean?

Factor pairs are those factors in pair that can give original number when multiplied. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 104 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 13 , 26 , 52 , 104. So, factors of 104 in pair are (1,104), (2,52), (4,26), (8,13).

How can we define factors?

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

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 104 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 104.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 104 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, 8, 13, 26, 52, 104 are exact divisors of 104.
  • Factors of 104 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 104. Each factor divides 104 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 104 are all less than or equal to 104.

Steps to find Factors of 104

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 104 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 52 (half of 104). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    104 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 26 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 52 : Remainder = 0
    104 ÷ 104 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 104 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, and 104
