Steps to find factors of 117 in pair

Example: Find factors of 117 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 117 1 x 117 = 117
3 and 39 3 x 39 = 117
9 and 13 9 x 13 = 117

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 117. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 117 would be ( -1 , -117 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 117 are 1 , 3 , 9 , 13 , 39 , 117. So, factors of 117 in pair are (1,117), (3,39), (9,13).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any 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, 9, 13, 39, 117 are exact divisors of 117.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 117 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 117.

Steps to find Factors of 117

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 117 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 58 (half of 117). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    117 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    117 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    117 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    117 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    117 ÷ 39 : Remainder = 0
    117 ÷ 117 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 117 are 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, and 117
