Steps to find factors of 346 in pair

Example: Find factors of 346 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 346 1 x 346 = 346
2 and 173 2 x 173 = 346

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 346. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 346 would be ( -1 , -346 ) .

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 346 are 1 , 2 , 173 , 346. So, factors of 346 in pair are (1,346), (2,173).

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. 346 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, 173, 346 are exact divisors of 346.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 346.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 346 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 346

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 346 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 173 (half of 346). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    346 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    346 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    346 ÷ 173 : Remainder = 0
    346 ÷ 346 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 346 are 1, 2, 173, and 346
