Steps to find factors of 1960 in pair

Example: Find factors of 1960 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 1960 1 x 1960 = 1960
2 and 980 2 x 980 = 1960
4 and 490 4 x 490 = 1960
5 and 392 5 x 392 = 1960
7 and 280 7 x 280 = 1960
8 and 245 8 x 245 = 1960
10 and 196 10 x 196 = 1960
14 and 140 14 x 140 = 1960
20 and 98 20 x 98 = 1960
28 and 70 28 x 70 = 1960
35 and 56 35 x 56 = 1960
40 and 49 40 x 49 = 1960

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 1960. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 1960 would be ( -1 , -1960 ) .

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 1960 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 10 , 14 , 20 , 28 , 35 , 40 , 49 , 56 , 70 , 98 , 140 , 196 , 245 , 280 , 392 , 490 , 980 , 1960. So, factors of 1960 in pair are (1,1960), (2,980), (4,490), (5,392), (7,280), (8,245), (10,196), (14,140), (20,98), (28,70), (35,56), (40,49).

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. 1960 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 1960.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 1960 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, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 49, 56, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 280, 392, 490, 980, 1960 are exact divisors of 1960.
  • Factors of 1960 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 49, 56, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 280, 392, 490, 980, 1960. Each factor divides 1960 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 49, 56, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 280, 392, 490, 980, 1960 are all less than or equal to 1960.

Steps to find Factors of 1960

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 1960 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 980 (half of 1960). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    1960 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 14 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 20 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 28 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 40 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 56 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 70 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 98 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 140 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 196 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 245 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 280 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 392 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 490 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 980 : Remainder = 0
    1960 ÷ 1960 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 1960 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 49, 56, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 280, 392, 490, 980, and 1960
