How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 612 in pair

Example: Find factors of 612 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 612 1 x 612 = 612
2 and 306 2 x 306 = 612
3 and 204 3 x 204 = 612
4 and 153 4 x 153 = 612
6 and 102 6 x 102 = 612
9 and 68 9 x 68 = 612
12 and 51 12 x 51 = 612
17 and 36 17 x 36 = 612
18 and 34 18 x 34 = 612

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 612. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 612 would be ( -1 , -612 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 612 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 17 , 18 , 34 , 36 , 51 , 68 , 102 , 153 , 204 , 306 , 612. So, factors of 612 in pair are (1,612), (2,306), (3,204), (4,153), (6,102), (9,68), (12,51), (17,36), (18,34).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 612 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 612.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 612 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, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612 are exact divisors of 612.
  • Factors of 612 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612. Each factor divides 612 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612 are all less than or equal to 612.

Steps to find Factors of 612

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 612 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 306 (half of 612). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    612 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 12 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 17 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 18 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 34 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 36 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 51 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 68 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 102 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 153 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 204 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 306 : Remainder = 0
    612 ÷ 612 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 612 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, and 612
