Steps to find factors of 508 in pair

Example: Find factors of 508 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 508 1 x 508 = 508
2 and 254 2 x 254 = 508
4 and 127 4 x 127 = 508

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 508. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 508 would be ( -1 , -508 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 508 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 127 , 254 , 508. So, factors of 508 in pair are (1,508), (2,254), (4,127).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 508 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 508.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 508 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, 4, 127, 254, 508 are exact divisors of 508.
  • Factors of 508 are 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508. Each factor divides 508 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508 are all less than or equal to 508.

Steps to find Factors of 508

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 508 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 254 (half of 508). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    508 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    508 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    508 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    508 ÷ 127 : Remainder = 0
    508 ÷ 254 : Remainder = 0
    508 ÷ 508 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 508 are 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, and 508
