How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 234 in pair

Example: Find factors of 234 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 234 1 x 234 = 234
2 and 117 2 x 117 = 234
3 and 78 3 x 78 = 234
6 and 39 6 x 39 = 234
9 and 26 9 x 26 = 234
13 and 18 13 x 18 = 234

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 234. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 234 would be ( -1 , -234 ) .

What does factor pairs of a number mean?

Factor pairs are those factors in pair that can give original number when multiplied. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 234 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 9 , 13 , 18 , 26 , 39 , 78 , 117 , 234. So, factors of 234 in pair are (1,234), (2,117), (3,78), (6,39), (9,26), (13,18).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive of negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 234 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, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234 are exact divisors of 234.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 234.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 234 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 234

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 234 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 117 (half of 234). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    234 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 18 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 26 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 39 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 78 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 117 : Remainder = 0
    234 ÷ 234 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 234 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, and 234
