Steps to find factors of 50 in pair

Example: Find factors of 50 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 50 1 x 50 = 50
2 and 25 2 x 25 = 50
5 and 10 5 x 10 = 50

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 50. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 50 would be ( -1 , -50 ) .

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 50 are 1 , 2 , 5 , 10 , 25 , 50. So, factors of 50 in pair are (1,50), (2,25), (5,10).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 50 is a factor of itself.
  • 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, 5, 10, 25, 50 are exact divisors of 50.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 50.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 50 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 50

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 50 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 25 (half of 50). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    50 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    50 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    50 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    50 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    50 ÷ 25 : Remainder = 0
    50 ÷ 50 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50
