Steps to find factors of 245 in pair

Example: Find factors of 245 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 245 1 x 245 = 245
5 and 49 5 x 49 = 245
7 and 35 7 x 35 = 245

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 245. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 245 would be ( -1 , -245 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 245 are 1 , 5 , 7 , 35 , 49 , 245. So, factors of 245 in pair are (1,245), (5,49), (7,35).

What are factors?

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

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, 245 are exact divisors of 245.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 245 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 245.

Steps to find Factors of 245

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 245 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 122 (half of 245). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    245 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    245 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    245 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    245 ÷ 35 : Remainder = 0
    245 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0
    245 ÷ 245 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 245 are 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, and 245
