How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 522 in pair

Example: Find factors of 522 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 522 1 x 522 = 522
2 and 261 2 x 261 = 522
3 and 174 3 x 174 = 522
6 and 87 6 x 87 = 522
9 and 58 9 x 58 = 522
18 and 29 18 x 29 = 522

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 522. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 522 would be ( -1 , -522 ) .

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 522 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 9 , 18 , 29 , 58 , 87 , 174 , 261 , 522. So, factors of 522 in pair are (1,522), (2,261), (3,174), (6,87), (9,58), (18,29).

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. 522 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, 3, 6, 9, 18, 29, 58, 87, 174, 261, 522 are exact divisors of 522.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 522.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 522 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 522

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 522 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 261 (half of 522). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    522 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 18 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 29 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 58 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 87 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 174 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 261 : Remainder = 0
    522 ÷ 522 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 522 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 29, 58, 87, 174, 261, and 522
