Steps to find factors of 45 in pair

Example: Find factors of 45 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 45 1 x 45 = 45
3 and 15 3 x 15 = 45
5 and 9 5 x 9 = 45

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 45. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 45 would be ( -1 , -45 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 45 are 1 , 3 , 5 , 9 , 15 , 45. So, factors of 45 in pair are (1,45), (3,15), (5,9).

What are factors?

In mathematics, a factor is that number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving a 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, 5, 9, 15, 45 are exact divisors of 45.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 45 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 45.

Steps to find Factors of 45

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 45 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 22 (half of 45). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    45 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    45 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    45 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    45 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    45 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
    45 ÷ 45 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45
