Factors of 3468 in pair

Steps to find factors of 3468 in pair

• Find all the numbers that would divide 3468 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 1734 (half of 3468). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
• Pair the factors so that their product is 3468, and read off the answer!

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 3468. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 3468 would be ( -1 , -3468 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 3468 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 12 , 17 , 34 , 51 , 68 , 102 , 204 , 289 , 578 , 867 , 1156 , 1734 , 3468. So, factors of 3468 in pair are (1,3468), (2,1734), (3,1156), (4,867), (6,578), (12,289), (17,204), (34,102), (51,68).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 3468 is a factor of itself.
• 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 3468.
• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 3468 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, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204, 289, 578, 867, 1156, 1734, 3468 are exact divisors of 3468.
• Factors of 3468 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204, 289, 578, 867, 1156, 1734, 3468. Each factor divides 3468 without leaving a remainder.
• Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204, 289, 578, 867, 1156, 1734, 3468 are all less than or equal to 3468.

Steps to find Factors of 3468

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 3468 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 1734 (half of 3468). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  3468 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 51 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 68 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 102 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 204 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 289 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 578 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 867 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 1156 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 1734 : Remainder = 0

  3468 ÷ 3468 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 3468 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204, 289, 578, 867, 1156, 1734, and 3468
