How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 264 in pair

Example: Find factors of 264 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 264 1 x 264 = 264
2 and 132 2 x 132 = 264
3 and 88 3 x 88 = 264
4 and 66 4 x 66 = 264
6 and 44 6 x 44 = 264
8 and 33 8 x 33 = 264
11 and 24 11 x 24 = 264
12 and 22 12 x 22 = 264

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 264. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 264 would be ( -1 , -264 ) .

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 264 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 11 , 12 , 22 , 24 , 33 , 44 , 66 , 88 , 132 , 264. So, factors of 264 in pair are (1,264), (2,132), (3,88), (4,66), (6,44), (8,33), (11,24), (12,22).

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. 264 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 264.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 264 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, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264 are exact divisors of 264.
  • Factors of 264 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264. Each factor divides 264 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264 are all less than or equal to 264.

Steps to find Factors of 264

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 264 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 132 (half of 264). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    264 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 24 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 33 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 44 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 66 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 88 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 132 : Remainder = 0
    264 ÷ 264 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 264 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, and 264
