Steps to find factors of 524 in pair

Example: Find factors of 524 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 524 1 x 524 = 524
2 and 262 2 x 262 = 524
4 and 131 4 x 131 = 524

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 524. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 524 would be ( -1 , -524 ) .

What does factor pairs of a number mean?

Factor pairs are those factors in pair that can give original number when multiplied. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 524 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 131 , 262 , 524. So, factors of 524 in pair are (1,524), (2,262), (4,131).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive of negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 524 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 524.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 524 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, 131, 262, 524 are exact divisors of 524.
  • Factors of 524 are 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524. Each factor divides 524 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524 are all less than or equal to 524.

Steps to find Factors of 524

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 524 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 262 (half of 524). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    524 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    524 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    524 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    524 ÷ 131 : Remainder = 0
    524 ÷ 262 : Remainder = 0
    524 ÷ 524 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 524 are 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, and 524
