Steps to find factors of 1521 in pair

Example: Find factors of 1521 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1521 1 x 1521 = 1521
3 and 507 3 x 507 = 1521
9 and 169 9 x 169 = 1521
13 and 117 13 x 117 = 1521
39 and 39 39 x 39 = 1521

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 1521. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1521 would be ( -1 , -1521 ) .

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 1521 are 1 , 3 , 9 , 13 , 39 , 117 , 169 , 507 , 1521. So, factors of 1521 in pair are (1,1521), (3,507), (9,169), (13,117), (39,39).

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

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117, 169, 507, 1521 are exact divisors of 1521.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 1521 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1521.

Steps to find Factors of 1521

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 1521 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 760 (half of 1521). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    1521 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 39 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 117 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 169 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 507 : Remainder = 0
    1521 ÷ 1521 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 1521 are 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117, 169, 507, and 1521
