Steps to find factors of 55 in pair

Example: Find factors of 55 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 55 1 x 55 = 55
5 and 11 5 x 11 = 55

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 55. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 55 would be ( -1 , -55 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 55 are 1 , 5 , 11 , 55. So, factors of 55 in pair are (1,55), (5,11).

What are factors?

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

Properties of Factors

  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 55 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, 5, 11, 55 are exact divisors of 55.
  • Factors of 55 are 1, 5, 11, 55. Each factor divides 55 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 55

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 55 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 27 (half of 55). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    55 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    55 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    55 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    55 ÷ 55 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 55 are 1, 5, 11, and 55

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there any even prime factor of 55?

    No there is no even prime factor, i.e. 2, of 55.

  • What is the mean of all prime factors of 55?

    Factors of 55 are 1 , 5 , 11 , 55. Prime factors of 55 are 5 , 11. Therefore mean of prime factors of 55 is (5 + 11) / 2 = 8.00.

  • What is the mean of factors of 55?

    Factors of 55 are 1 , 5 , 11 , 55. therefore mean of factors of 55 is (1 + 5 + 11 + 55) / 4 = 18.00.

  • What do you mean by proper divisors?

    A number x is said to be the proper divisor of y if it divides y completely, given that x is smaller than y.

  • What do you mean by improper divisors?

    An improper divisor of a number is the number itself apart from this any divisor of a given number is a proper divisor.
