Steps to find factors of 105 in pair

Example: Find factors of 105 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 105 1 x 105 = 105
3 and 35 3 x 35 = 105
5 and 21 5 x 21 = 105
7 and 15 7 x 15 = 105

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 105. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 105 would be ( -1 , -105 ) .

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 105 are 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 15 , 21 , 35 , 105. So, factors of 105 in pair are (1,105), (3,35), (5,21), (7,15).

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

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 105 are exact divisors of 105.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 105 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 105.

Steps to find Factors of 105

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 105 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 52 (half of 105). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    105 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 21 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0
    105 ÷ 105 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 105 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, and 105
