Steps to find factors of 357 in pair

Example: Find factors of 357 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 357 1 x 357 = 357
3 and 119 3 x 119 = 357
7 and 51 7 x 51 = 357
17 and 21 17 x 21 = 357

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 357. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 357 would be ( -1 , -357 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 357 are 1 , 3 , 7 , 17 , 21 , 51 , 119 , 357. So, factors of 357 in pair are (1,357), (3,119), (7,51), (17,21).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, 357 are exact divisors of 357.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 357 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 357.

Steps to find Factors of 357

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 357 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 178 (half of 357). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    357 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 21 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 51 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 119 : Remainder = 0
    357 ÷ 357 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 357 are 1, 3, 7, 17, 21, 51, 119, and 357
