Steps to find factors of 136 in pair

Example: Find factors of 136 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 136 1 x 136 = 136
2 and 68 2 x 68 = 136
4 and 34 4 x 34 = 136
8 and 17 8 x 17 = 136

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 136. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 136 would be ( -1 , -136 ) .

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 136 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 17 , 34 , 68 , 136. So, factors of 136 in pair are (1,136), (2,68), (4,34), (8,17).

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. 136 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 136.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 136 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, 17, 34, 68, 136 are exact divisors of 136.
  • Factors of 136 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136. Each factor divides 136 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136 are all less than or equal to 136.

Steps to find Factors of 136

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 136 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 68 (half of 136). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    136 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 68 : Remainder = 0
    136 ÷ 136 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 136 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, and 136
