How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 372 in pair

Example: Find factors of 372 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 372 1 x 372 = 372
2 and 186 2 x 186 = 372
3 and 124 3 x 124 = 372
4 and 93 4 x 93 = 372
6 and 62 6 x 62 = 372
12 and 31 12 x 31 = 372

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 372. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 372 would be ( -1 , -372 ) .

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 372 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 12 , 31 , 62 , 93 , 124 , 186 , 372. So, factors of 372 in pair are (1,372), (2,186), (3,124), (4,93), (6,62), (12,31).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 372 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 372.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 372 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, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372 are exact divisors of 372.
  • Factors of 372 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372. Each factor divides 372 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372 are all less than or equal to 372.

Steps to find Factors of 372

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 372 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 186 (half of 372). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    372 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 31 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 62 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 93 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 124 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 186 : Remainder = 0
    372 ÷ 372 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 372 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, and 372
