Steps to find factors of 290 in pair

Example: Find factors of 290 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 290 1 x 290 = 290
2 and 145 2 x 145 = 290
5 and 58 5 x 58 = 290
10 and 29 10 x 29 = 290

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 290. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 290 would be ( -1 , -290 ) .

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 290 are 1 , 2 , 5 , 10 , 29 , 58 , 145 , 290. So, factors of 290 in pair are (1,290), (2,145), (5,58), (10,29).

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. 290 is a factor of itself.
  • 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, 5, 10, 29, 58, 145, 290 are exact divisors of 290.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 290.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 290 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 290

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 290 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 145 (half of 290). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    290 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 29 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 58 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 145 : Remainder = 0
    290 ÷ 290 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 290 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 29, 58, 145, and 290
