Steps to find factors of 268 in pair

Example: Find factors of 268 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 268 1 x 268 = 268
2 and 134 2 x 134 = 268
4 and 67 4 x 67 = 268

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 268. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 268 would be ( -1 , -268 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 268 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 67 , 134 , 268. So, factors of 268 in pair are (1,268), (2,134), (4,67).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 268 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 268.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 268 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, 4, 67, 134, 268 are exact divisors of 268.
  • Factors of 268 are 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268. Each factor divides 268 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268 are all less than or equal to 268.

Steps to find Factors of 268

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 268 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 134 (half of 268). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    268 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    268 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    268 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    268 ÷ 67 : Remainder = 0
    268 ÷ 134 : Remainder = 0
    268 ÷ 268 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 268 are 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, and 268
