Steps to find factors of 58 in pair

Example: Find factors of 58 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 58 1 x 58 = 58
2 and 29 2 x 29 = 58

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 58. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 58 would be ( -1 , -58 ) .

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 58 are 1 , 2 , 29 , 58. So, factors of 58 in pair are (1,58), (2,29).

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. 58 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, 29, 58 are exact divisors of 58.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 58.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 58 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 58

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

Hence, Factors of 58 are 1, 2, 29, and 58
