Steps to find factors of 52 in pair

Example: Find factors of 52 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 52 1 x 52 = 52
2 and 26 2 x 26 = 52
4 and 13 4 x 13 = 52

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 52. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 52 would be ( -1 , -52 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 52 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 13 , 26 , 52. So, factors of 52 in pair are (1,52), (2,26), (4,13).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 52 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 52.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 52 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, 13, 26, 52 are exact divisors of 52.
  • Factors of 52 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52. Each factor divides 52 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52 are all less than or equal to 52.

Steps to find Factors of 52

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 52 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 26 (half of 52). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    52 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    52 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    52 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    52 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    52 ÷ 26 : Remainder = 0
    52 ÷ 52 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 52 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, and 52
