How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 140 in pair

Example: Find factors of 140 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 140 1 x 140 = 140
2 and 70 2 x 70 = 140
4 and 35 4 x 35 = 140
5 and 28 5 x 28 = 140
7 and 20 7 x 20 = 140
10 and 14 10 x 14 = 140

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 140. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 140 would be ( -1 , -140 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 140 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 10 , 14 , 20 , 28 , 35 , 70 , 140. So, factors of 140 in pair are (1,140), (2,70), (4,35), (5,28), (7,20), (10,14).

What are factors?

In mathematics, a factor is that number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving a remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 140 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 140.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 140 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, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140 are exact divisors of 140.
  • Factors of 140 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140. Each factor divides 140 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140 are all less than or equal to 140.

Steps to find Factors of 140

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 140 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 70 (half of 140). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    140 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 14 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 20 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 28 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 70 : Remainder = 0
    140 ÷ 140 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 140 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, and 140
