Factors of 154 in pair

Steps to find factors of 154 in pair

• Find all the numbers that would divide 154 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 77 (half of 154). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
• Pair the factors so that their product is 154, and read off the answer!

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 154. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 154 would be ( -1 , -154 ) .

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 154 are 1 , 2 , 7 , 11 , 14 , 22 , 77 , 154. So, factors of 154 in pair are (1,154), (2,77), (7,22), (11,14).

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. 154 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, 11, 14, 22, 77, 154 are exact divisors of 154.
• 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 154.
• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 154 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 154

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 154 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 77 (half of 154). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  154 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 14 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 77 : Remainder = 0

  154 ÷ 154 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 154 are 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, and 154
