Steps to find factors of 14 in pair

Example: Find factors of 14 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 14 1 x 14 = 14
2 and 7 2 x 7 = 14

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 14. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 14 would be ( -1 , -14 ) .

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 14 are 1 , 2 , 7 , 14. So, factors of 14 in pair are (1,14), (2,7).

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. 14 is a factor of itself.
  • 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, 7, 14 are exact divisors of 14.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 14.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 14 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 14

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 14 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 7 (half of 14). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    14 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    14 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    14 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    14 ÷ 14 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14
