Steps to find factors of 506 in pair

Example: Find factors of 506 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 506 1 x 506 = 506
2 and 253 2 x 253 = 506
11 and 46 11 x 46 = 506
22 and 23 22 x 23 = 506

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 506. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 506 would be ( -1 , -506 ) .

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 506 are 1 , 2 , 11 , 22 , 23 , 46 , 253 , 506. So, factors of 506 in pair are (1,506), (2,253), (11,46), (22,23).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 506 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, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506 are exact divisors of 506.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 506.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 506 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 506

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 506 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 253 (half of 506). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    506 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 23 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 46 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 253 : Remainder = 0
    506 ÷ 506 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 506 are 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, and 506
