Steps to find factors of 2401 in pair

Example: Find factors of 2401 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 2401 1 x 2401 = 2401
7 and 343 7 x 343 = 2401
49 and 49 49 x 49 = 2401

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 2401. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 2401 would be ( -1 , -2401 ) .

Introduction to factor pairs

Factor pair in mathematics is defined as all factors of a given number which when written in pair and multiplied gives the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 2401 are 1 , 7 , 49 , 343 , 2401. So, factors of 2401 in pair are (1,2401), (7,343), (49,49).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 7, 49, 343, 2401 are exact divisors of 2401.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 2401 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 2401.

Steps to find Factors of 2401

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 2401 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 1200 (half of 2401). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    2401 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    2401 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    2401 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0
    2401 ÷ 343 : Remainder = 0
    2401 ÷ 2401 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 2401 are 1, 7, 49, 343, and 2401

  • What do you mean by proper divisors?

    A number x is said to be the proper divisor of y if it divides y completely, given that x is smaller than y.

  • What do you mean by improper divisors?

    An improper divisor of a number is the number itself apart from this any divisor of a given number is a proper divisor.
