Steps to find factors of 212 in pair

Example: Find factors of 212 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 212 1 x 212 = 212
2 and 106 2 x 106 = 212
4 and 53 4 x 53 = 212

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 212. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 212 would be ( -1 , -212 ) .

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 212 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 53 , 106 , 212. So, factors of 212 in pair are (1,212), (2,106), (4,53).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 212 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 212.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 212 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, 53, 106, 212 are exact divisors of 212.
  • Factors of 212 are 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212. Each factor divides 212 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212 are all less than or equal to 212.

Steps to find Factors of 212

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 212 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 106 (half of 212). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    212 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    212 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    212 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    212 ÷ 53 : Remainder = 0
    212 ÷ 106 : Remainder = 0
    212 ÷ 212 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 212 are 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, and 212
