Steps to find factors of 124 in pair

Example: Find factors of 124 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 124 1 x 124 = 124
2 and 62 2 x 62 = 124
4 and 31 4 x 31 = 124

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 124. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 124 would be ( -1 , -124 ) .

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 124 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 31 , 62 , 124. So, factors of 124 in pair are (1,124), (2,62), (4,31).

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. 124 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 124.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 124 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, 31, 62, 124 are exact divisors of 124.
  • Factors of 124 are 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124. Each factor divides 124 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124 are all less than or equal to 124.

Steps to find Factors of 124

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 124 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 62 (half of 124). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    124 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    124 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    124 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    124 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0
    124 ÷ 62 : Remainder = 0
    124 ÷ 124 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 124 are 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, and 124
