Example: Find factors of 1296 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1296 1 x 1296 = 1296
2 and 648 2 x 648 = 1296
3 and 432 3 x 432 = 1296
4 and 324 4 x 324 = 1296

27 and 48 27 x 48 = 1296
36 and 36 36 x 36 = 1296

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 1296. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1296 would be ( -1 , -1296 ) .

Introduction to factor pairs

Factor pair in mathematics is defined as all factors of a given number which when written in pair and multiplied gives the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 1296 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 16 , 18 , 24 , 27 , 36 , 48 , 54 , 72 , 81 , 108 , 144 , 162 , 216 , 324 , 432 , 648 , 1296. So, factors of 1296 in pair are (1,1296), (2,648), (3,432), (4,324), (6,216), (8,162), (9,144), (12,108), (16,81), (18,72), (24,54), (27,48), (36,36).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 1296 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1296.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 1296 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, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 81, 108, 144, 162, 216, 324, 432, 648, 1296 are exact divisors of 1296.
  • Factors of 1296 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 81, 108, 144, 162, 216, 324, 432, 648, 1296. Each factor divides 1296 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 81, 108, 144, 162, 216, 324, 432, 648, 1296 are all less than or equal to 1296.

Steps to find Factors of 1296

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 1296 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 648 (half of 1296). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    1296 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 18 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 24 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 27 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 36 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 48 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 54 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 72 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 81 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 108 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 144 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 162 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 216 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 324 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 432 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 648 : Remainder = 0
    1296 ÷ 1296 : Remainder = 0
