Steps to find factors of 32 in pair

Example: Find factors of 32 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 32 1 x 32 = 32
2 and 16 2 x 16 = 32
4 and 8 4 x 8 = 32

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 32. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 32 would be ( -1 , -32 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 32 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32. So, factors of 32 in pair are (1,32), (2,16), (4,8).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 32 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 32.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 32 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, 32 are exact divisors of 32.
  • Factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. Each factor divides 32 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 are all less than or equal to 32.

Steps to find Factors of 32

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 32 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 16 (half of 32). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    32 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    32 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    32 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    32 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    32 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0
    32 ÷ 32 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32
