Steps to find factors of 265 in pair

Example: Find factors of 265 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 265 1 x 265 = 265
5 and 53 5 x 53 = 265

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 265. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 265 would be ( -1 , -265 ) .

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 265 are 1 , 5 , 53 , 265. So, factors of 265 in pair are (1,265), (5,53).

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, 53, 265 are exact divisors of 265.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 265 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 265.

Steps to find Factors of 265

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 265 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 132 (half of 265). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    265 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    265 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    265 ÷ 53 : Remainder = 0
    265 ÷ 265 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 265 are 1, 5, 53, and 265

  • 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.
