Steps to find factors of 548 in pair

Example: Find factors of 548 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 548 1 x 548 = 548
2 and 274 2 x 274 = 548
4 and 137 4 x 137 = 548

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 548. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 548 would be ( -1 , -548 ) .

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 548 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 137 , 274 , 548. So, factors of 548 in pair are (1,548), (2,274), (4,137).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 548 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 548.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 548 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, 137, 274, 548 are exact divisors of 548.
  • Factors of 548 are 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548. Each factor divides 548 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548 are all less than or equal to 548.

Steps to find Factors of 548

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 548 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 274 (half of 548). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    548 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    548 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    548 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    548 ÷ 137 : Remainder = 0
    548 ÷ 274 : Remainder = 0
    548 ÷ 548 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 548 are 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, and 548
