Steps to find factors of 53 in pair

Example: Find factors of 53 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 53 1 x 53 = 53

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 53. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 53 would be ( -1 , -53 ) , .

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 53 are 1 , 53. So, factors of 53 in pair are (1,53).

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

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 53 are exact divisors of 53.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 53 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 53.

Steps to find Factors of 53

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 53 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 26 (half of 53). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    53 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    53 ÷ 53 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 53 are 1 and 53
