How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 444 in pair

Example: Find factors of 444 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 444 1 x 444 = 444
2 and 222 2 x 222 = 444
3 and 148 3 x 148 = 444
4 and 111 4 x 111 = 444
6 and 74 6 x 74 = 444
12 and 37 12 x 37 = 444

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 444. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 444 would be ( -1 , -444 ) .

What does factor pairs of a number mean?

Factor pairs are those factors in pair that can give original number when multiplied. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 444 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 12 , 37 , 74 , 111 , 148 , 222 , 444. So, factors of 444 in pair are (1,444), (2,222), (3,148), (4,111), (6,74), (12,37).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive of negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 444 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 444.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 444 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, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 444 are exact divisors of 444.
  • Factors of 444 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 444. Each factor divides 444 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 444 are all less than or equal to 444.

Steps to find Factors of 444

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 444 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 222 (half of 444). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    444 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 37 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 74 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 111 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 148 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 222 : Remainder = 0
    444 ÷ 444 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 444 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, and 444
