Factors of 42 in pair are (1, 42) , (2, 21) , (3, 14) and (6, 7)
| Factor Pair | Pair Factorization |
|---|---|
| 1 and 42 | 1 x 42 = 42 |
| 2 and 21 | 2 x 21 = 42 |
| 3 and 14 | 3 x 14 = 42 |
| 6 and 7 | 6 x 7 = 42 |
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 42. They are called negative pair factors.
Hence, the negative pairs of 42 would be ( -1 , -42 ) .
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 42 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 21 , 42. So, factors of 42 in pair are (1,42), (2,21), (3,14), (6,7).
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.
Hence, Factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42
Yes 42 is a composite number.
No 42 is not a prime number.
Factors of 42 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 21 , 42. therefore mean of factors of 42 is (1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 14 + 21 + 42) / 8 = 12.00.
A number x is said to be the proper divisor of y if it divides y completely, given that x is smaller than y.
An improper divisor of a number is the number itself apart from this any divisor of a given number is a proper divisor.
Factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42. So, factors of 42 in pair are (1,42), (2,21), (3,14), (6,7).
Negative factors of 42 are -1, -2, -3, -6, -7, -14, -21, -42. Hence, factors of 42 in pair are (-1,-42), (-2,-21), (-3,-14), (-6,-7).
Factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42. Positive factors of 42 in pair are (1,42), (2,21), (3,14), (6,7). Negative factors of 42 in pair are (-1,-42), (-2,-21), (-3,-14), (-6,-7).
Factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42. Prime factors are 2, 3, 7. So, the product of all prime factors of 42 would be 2 x 3 x 7 = 42.
Factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42.Factors of 42 in pair are (1,42), (2,21), (3,14), (6,7).
Prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7. Factors of 42 in pair can be written as (1,42), (2,21), (3,14), (6,7).
Smallest prime factor of 42 is 2.
Largest prime factor of 42 is 7.
