Steps to find factors of 174 in pair

Example: Find factors of 174 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 174 1 x 174 = 174
2 and 87 2 x 87 = 174
3 and 58 3 x 58 = 174
6 and 29 6 x 29 = 174

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 174. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 174 would be ( -1 , -174 ) .

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 174 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 29 , 58 , 87 , 174. So, factors of 174 in pair are (1,174), (2,87), (3,58), (6,29).

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. 174 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, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174 are exact divisors of 174.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 174.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 174 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 174

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 174 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 87 (half of 174). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    174 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 29 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 58 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 87 : Remainder = 0
    174 ÷ 174 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 174 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, and 174
