Steps to find factors of 521 in pair

Example: Find factors of 521 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 521 1 x 521 = 521

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 521. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 521 would be ( -1 , -521 ) , .

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 521 are 1 , 521. So, factors of 521 in pair are (1,521).

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

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 521 are exact divisors of 521.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 521 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 521.

Steps to find Factors of 521

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 521 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 260 (half of 521). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    521 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    521 ÷ 521 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 521 are 1 and 521

Frequently Asked Questions
