Steps to find factors of 128 in pair

Example: Find factors of 128 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 128 1 x 128 = 128
2 and 64 2 x 64 = 128
4 and 32 4 x 32 = 128
8 and 16 8 x 16 = 128

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 128. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 128 would be ( -1 , -128 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 128 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 128. So, factors of 128 in pair are (1,128), (2,64), (4,32), (8,16).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 128 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 128.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 128 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, 16, 32, 64, 128 are exact divisors of 128.
  • Factors of 128 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. Each factor divides 128 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 are all less than or equal to 128.

Steps to find Factors of 128

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 128 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 64 (half of 128). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    128 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 32 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 64 : Remainder = 0
    128 ÷ 128 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 128 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128
