Steps to find factors of 1688 in pair

Example: Find factors of 1688 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1688 1 x 1688 = 1688
2 and 844 2 x 844 = 1688
4 and 422 4 x 422 = 1688
8 and 211 8 x 211 = 1688

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 1688. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1688 would be ( -1 , -1688 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 1688 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 211 , 422 , 844 , 1688. So, factors of 1688 in pair are (1,1688), (2,844), (4,422), (8,211).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 1688 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1688.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 1688 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, 8, 211, 422, 844, 1688 are exact divisors of 1688.
  • Factors of 1688 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 211, 422, 844, 1688. Each factor divides 1688 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 211, 422, 844, 1688 are all less than or equal to 1688.

Steps to find Factors of 1688

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 1688 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 844 (half of 1688). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    1688 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 211 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 422 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 844 : Remainder = 0
    1688 ÷ 1688 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 1688 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 211, 422, 844, and 1688
