Steps to find factors of 232 in pair

Example: Find factors of 232 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 232 1 x 232 = 232
2 and 116 2 x 116 = 232
4 and 58 4 x 58 = 232
8 and 29 8 x 29 = 232

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 232. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 232 would be ( -1 , -232 ) .

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 232 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 29 , 58 , 116 , 232. So, factors of 232 in pair are (1,232), (2,116), (4,58), (8,29).

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. 232 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 232.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 232 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, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232 are exact divisors of 232.
  • Factors of 232 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232. Each factor divides 232 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232 are all less than or equal to 232.

Steps to find Factors of 232

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 232 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 116 (half of 232). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    232 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 29 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 58 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 116 : Remainder = 0
    232 ÷ 232 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 232 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, and 232
