Steps to find factors of 2006 in pair

Example: Find factors of 2006 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 2006 1 x 2006 = 2006
2 and 1003 2 x 1003 = 2006
17 and 118 17 x 118 = 2006
34 and 59 34 x 59 = 2006

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 2006. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 2006 would be ( -1 , -2006 ) .

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 2006 are 1 , 2 , 17 , 34 , 59 , 118 , 1003 , 2006. So, factors of 2006 in pair are (1,2006), (2,1003), (17,118), (34,59).

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. 2006 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, 17, 34, 59, 118, 1003, 2006 are exact divisors of 2006.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 2006.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 2006 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 2006

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 2006 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 1003 (half of 2006). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    2006 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 59 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 118 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 1003 : Remainder = 0
    2006 ÷ 2006 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 2006 are 1, 2, 17, 34, 59, 118, 1003, and 2006
