Steps to find factors of 23 in pair

Example: Find factors of 23 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 23 1 x 23 = 23

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 23. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 23 would be ( -1 , -23 ) , .

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 23 are 1 , 23. So, factors of 23 in pair are (1,23).

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 23 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, 23 are exact divisors of 23.
  • Factors of 23 are 1, 23. Each factor divides 23 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 23

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 23 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 11 (half of 23). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    23 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    23 ÷ 23 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 23 are 1 and 23

Frequently Asked Questions
