Steps to find factors of 176 in pair

Example: Find factors of 176 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 176 1 x 176 = 176
2 and 88 2 x 88 = 176
4 and 44 4 x 44 = 176
8 and 22 8 x 22 = 176
11 and 16 11 x 16 = 176

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 176. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 176 would be ( -1 , -176 ) .

Introduction to factor pairs

Factor pair in mathematics is defined as all factors of a given number which when written in pair and multiplied gives the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 176 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 11 , 16 , 22 , 44 , 88 , 176. So, factors of 176 in pair are (1,176), (2,88), (4,44), (8,22), (11,16).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 176 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 176.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 176 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, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176 are exact divisors of 176.
  • Factors of 176 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176. Each factor divides 176 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176 are all less than or equal to 176.

Steps to find Factors of 176

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 176 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 88 (half of 176). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    176 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 44 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 88 : Remainder = 0
    176 ÷ 176 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 176 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88, and 176
