Steps to find factors of 31 in pair

Example: Find factors of 31 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 31 1 x 31 = 31

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 31. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 31 would be ( -1 , -31 ) , .

Introduction to factor pairs

Factor pair in mathematics is defined as all factors of a given number which when written in pair and multiplied gives the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 31 are 1 , 31. So, factors of 31 in pair are (1,31).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

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

Steps to find Factors of 31

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 31 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 15 (half of 31). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    31 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    31 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 31 are 1 and 31

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there any even prime factor of 31?

    No there is no even prime factor, i.e. 2, of 31.

  • What is the mean of all prime factors of 31?

    Factors of 31 are 1 , 31. Prime factors of 31 are 31. Therefore mean of prime factors of 31 is (31) / 1 = 31.00.

  • What is the mean of factors of 31?

    Factors of 31 are 1 , 31. therefore mean of factors of 31 is (1 + 31) / 2 = 16.00.

  • What do you mean by proper divisors?

    A number x is said to be the proper divisor of y if it divides y completely, given that x is smaller than y.

  • What do you mean by improper divisors?

    An improper divisor of a number is the number itself apart from this any divisor of a given number is a proper divisor.
