How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 340 in pair

Example: Find factors of 340 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 340 1 x 340 = 340
2 and 170 2 x 170 = 340
4 and 85 4 x 85 = 340
5 and 68 5 x 68 = 340
10 and 34 10 x 34 = 340
17 and 20 17 x 20 = 340

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 340. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 340 would be ( -1 , -340 ) .

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 340 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 10 , 17 , 20 , 34 , 68 , 85 , 170 , 340. So, factors of 340 in pair are (1,340), (2,170), (4,85), (5,68), (10,34), (17,20).

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. 340 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 340.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 340 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, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340 are exact divisors of 340.
  • Factors of 340 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340. Each factor divides 340 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340 are all less than or equal to 340.

Steps to find Factors of 340

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 340 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 170 (half of 340). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    340 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 20 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 68 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 85 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 170 : Remainder = 0
    340 ÷ 340 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 340 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, and 340
