Steps to find factors of 304 in pair

Example: Find factors of 304 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 304 1 x 304 = 304
2 and 152 2 x 152 = 304
4 and 76 4 x 76 = 304
8 and 38 8 x 38 = 304
16 and 19 16 x 19 = 304

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 304. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 304 would be ( -1 , -304 ) .

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 304 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 19 , 38 , 76 , 152 , 304. So, factors of 304 in pair are (1,304), (2,152), (4,76), (8,38), (16,19).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 304 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 304.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 304 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, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304 are exact divisors of 304.
  • Factors of 304 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304. Each factor divides 304 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304 are all less than or equal to 304.

Steps to find Factors of 304

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 304 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 152 (half of 304). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    304 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 19 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 38 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 76 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 152 : Remainder = 0
    304 ÷ 304 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 304 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, and 304
