Steps to find factors of 285 in pair

Example: Find factors of 285 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 285 1 x 285 = 285
3 and 95 3 x 95 = 285
5 and 57 5 x 57 = 285
15 and 19 15 x 19 = 285

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 285. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 285 would be ( -1 , -285 ) .

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 285 are 1 , 3 , 5 , 15 , 19 , 57 , 95 , 285. So, factors of 285 in pair are (1,285), (3,95), (5,57), (15,19).

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, 3, 5, 15, 19, 57, 95, 285 are exact divisors of 285.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 285 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 285.

Steps to find Factors of 285

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 285 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 142 (half of 285). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    285 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 19 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 57 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 95 : Remainder = 0
    285 ÷ 285 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 285 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 57, 95, and 285
