Steps to find factors of 34 in pair

Example: Find factors of 34 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 34 1 x 34 = 34
2 and 17 2 x 17 = 34

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 34. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 34 would be ( -1 , -34 ) .

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 34 are 1 , 2 , 17 , 34. So, factors of 34 in pair are (1,34), (2,17).

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. 34 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, 17, 34 are exact divisors of 34.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 34.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 34 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 34

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 34 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 17 (half of 34). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    34 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    34 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    34 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    34 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, and 34
