Steps to find factors of 356 in pair

Example: Find factors of 356 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 356 1 x 356 = 356
2 and 178 2 x 178 = 356
4 and 89 4 x 89 = 356

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 356. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 356 would be ( -1 , -356 ) .

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 356 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 89 , 178 , 356. So, factors of 356 in pair are (1,356), (2,178), (4,89).

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. 356 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 356.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 356 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, 89, 178, 356 are exact divisors of 356.
  • Factors of 356 are 1, 2, 4, 89, 178, 356. Each factor divides 356 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 89, 178, 356 are all less than or equal to 356.

Steps to find Factors of 356

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 356 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 178 (half of 356). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    356 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    356 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    356 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    356 ÷ 89 : Remainder = 0
    356 ÷ 178 : Remainder = 0
    356 ÷ 356 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 356 are 1, 2, 4, 89, 178, and 356
