Steps to find factors of 169 in pair

Example: Find factors of 169 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 169 1 x 169 = 169
13 and 13 13 x 13 = 169

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 169. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 169 would be ( -1 , -169 ) .

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 169 are 1 , 13 , 169. So, factors of 169 in pair are (1,169), (13,13).

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

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

Steps to find Factors of 169

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 169 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 84 (half of 169). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    169 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    169 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    169 ÷ 169 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 169 are 1, 13, and 169
