Steps to find factors of 279 in pair

Example: Find factors of 279 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 279 1 x 279 = 279
3 and 93 3 x 93 = 279
9 and 31 9 x 31 = 279

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 279. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 279 would be ( -1 , -279 ) .

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 279 are 1 , 3 , 9 , 31 , 93 , 279. So, factors of 279 in pair are (1,279), (3,93), (9,31).

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

  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 279 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, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279 are exact divisors of 279.
  • Factors of 279 are 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279. Each factor divides 279 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 279

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 279 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 139 (half of 279). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    279 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    279 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    279 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    279 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0
    279 ÷ 93 : Remainder = 0
    279 ÷ 279 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 279 are 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, and 279
