Factors of 203 in pair

Steps to find factors of 203 in pair

• Find all the numbers that would divide 203 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 101 (half of 203). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
• Pair the factors so that their product is 203, and read off the answer!

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 203. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 203 would be ( -1 , -203 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 203 are 1 , 7 , 29 , 203. So, factors of 203 in pair are (1,203), (7,29).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 203 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, 7, 29, 203 are exact divisors of 203.
• Factors of 203 are 1, 7, 29, 203. Each factor divides 203 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 203

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 203 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 101 (half of 203). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  203 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  203 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

  203 ÷ 29 : Remainder = 0

  203 ÷ 203 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 203 are 1, 7, 29, and 203
