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 3456. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 3456 would be ( -1 , -3456 ) .

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 3456 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 16 , 18 , 24 , 27 , 32 , 36 , 48 , 54 , 64 , 72 , 96 , 108 , 128 , 144 , 192 , 216 , 288 , 384 , 432 , 576 , 864 , 1152 , 1728 , 3456. So, factors of 3456 in pair are (1,3456), (2,1728), (3,1152), (4,864), (6,576), (8,432), (9,384), (12,288), (16,216), (18,192), (24,144), (27,128), (32,108), (36,96), (48,72), (54,64).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 3456 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 3456.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 3456 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, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 64, 72, 96, 108, 128, 144, 192, 216, 288, 384, 432, 576, 864, 1152, 1728, 3456 are exact divisors of 3456.
  • Factors of 3456 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 64, 72, 96, 108, 128, 144, 192, 216, 288, 384, 432, 576, 864, 1152, 1728, 3456. Each factor divides 3456 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 64, 72, 96, 108, 128, 144, 192, 216, 288, 384, 432, 576, 864, 1152, 1728, 3456 are all less than or equal to 3456.
