Steps to find factors of 187 in pair

Example: Find factors of 187 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 187 1 x 187 = 187
11 and 17 11 x 17 = 187

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 187. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 187 would be ( -1 , -187 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 187 are 1 , 11 , 17 , 187. So, factors of 187 in pair are (1,187), (11,17).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 187 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, 11, 17, 187 are exact divisors of 187.
  • Factors of 187 are 1, 11, 17, 187. Each factor divides 187 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 187

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 187 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 93 (half of 187). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    187 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    187 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    187 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    187 ÷ 187 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 187 are 1, 11, 17, and 187

  • What do you mean by proper divisors?

    A number x is said to be the proper divisor of y if it divides y completely, given that x is smaller than y.

  • What do you mean by improper divisors?

    An improper divisor of a number is the number itself apart from this any divisor of a given number is a proper divisor.
