Steps to find factors of 441 in pair

Example: Find factors of 441 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 441 1 x 441 = 441
3 and 147 3 x 147 = 441
7 and 63 7 x 63 = 441
9 and 49 9 x 49 = 441
21 and 21 21 x 21 = 441

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 441. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 441 would be ( -1 , -441 ) .

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 441 are 1 , 3 , 7 , 9 , 21 , 49 , 63 , 147 , 441. So, factors of 441 in pair are (1,441), (3,147), (7,63), (9,49), (21,21).

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

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 49, 63, 147, 441 are exact divisors of 441.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 441 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 441.

Steps to find Factors of 441

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 441 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 220 (half of 441). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    441 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 21 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 49 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 63 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 147 : Remainder = 0
    441 ÷ 441 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 441 are 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 49, 63, 147, and 441
