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 2880. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 2880 would be ( -1 , -2880 ) .

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 2880 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 15 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 24 , 30 , 32 , 36 , 40 , 45 , 48 , 60 , 64 , 72 , 80 , 90 , 96 , 120 , 144 , 160 , 180 , 192 , 240 , 288 , 320 , 360 , 480 , 576 , 720 , 960 , 1440 , 2880. So, factors of 2880 in pair are (1,2880), (2,1440), (3,960), (4,720), (5,576), (6,480), (8,360), (9,320), (10,288), (12,240), (15,192), (16,180), (18,160), (20,144), (24,120), (30,96), (32,90), (36,80), (40,72), (45,64), (48,60).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 2880 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 2880.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 2880 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, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 64, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 192, 240, 288, 320, 360, 480, 576, 720, 960, 1440, 2880 are exact divisors of 2880.
  • Factors of 2880 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 64, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 192, 240, 288, 320, 360, 480, 576, 720, 960, 1440, 2880. Each factor divides 2880 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 64, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 192, 240, 288, 320, 360, 480, 576, 720, 960, 1440, 2880 are all less than or equal to 2880.
