Steps to find factors of 155 in pair

Example: Find factors of 155 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 155 1 x 155 = 155
5 and 31 5 x 31 = 155

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 155. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 155 would be ( -1 , -155 ) .

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 155 are 1 , 5 , 31 , 155. So, factors of 155 in pair are (1,155), (5,31).

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

  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 155 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, 5, 31, 155 are exact divisors of 155.
  • Factors of 155 are 1, 5, 31, 155. Each factor divides 155 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 155

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 155 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 77 (half of 155). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    155 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    155 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    155 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0
    155 ÷ 155 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 155 are 1, 5, 31, and 155
