How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 150 in pair

Example: Find factors of 150 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 150 1 x 150 = 150
2 and 75 2 x 75 = 150
3 and 50 3 x 50 = 150
5 and 30 5 x 30 = 150
6 and 25 6 x 25 = 150
10 and 15 10 x 15 = 150

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 150. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 150 would be ( -1 , -150 ) .

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 150 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 10 , 15 , 25 , 30 , 50 , 75 , 150. So, factors of 150 in pair are (1,150), (2,75), (3,50), (5,30), (6,25), (10,15).

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. 150 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, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 150 are exact divisors of 150.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 150.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 150 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 150

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 150 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 75 (half of 150). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    150 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 25 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 30 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 50 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 75 : Remainder = 0
    150 ÷ 150 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 150 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, and 150
