Steps to find factors of 170 in pair

Example: Find factors of 170 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 170 1 x 170 = 170
2 and 85 2 x 85 = 170
5 and 34 5 x 34 = 170
10 and 17 10 x 17 = 170

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 170. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 170 would be ( -1 , -170 ) .

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 170 are 1 , 2 , 5 , 10 , 17 , 34 , 85 , 170. So, factors of 170 in pair are (1,170), (2,85), (5,34), (10,17).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 170 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, 5, 10, 17, 34, 85, 170 are exact divisors of 170.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 170.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 170 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 170

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 170 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 85 (half of 170). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    170 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 85 : Remainder = 0
    170 ÷ 170 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 170 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 85, and 170
