Steps to find factors of 64 in pair

Example: Find factors of 64 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 64 1 x 64 = 64
2 and 32 2 x 32 = 64
4 and 16 4 x 16 = 64
8 and 8 8 x 8 = 64

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 64. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 64 would be ( -1 , -64 ) .

What does factor pairs of a number mean?

Factor pairs are those factors in pair that can give original number when multiplied. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 64 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64. So, factors of 64 in pair are (1,64), (2,32), (4,16), (8,8).

How can we define factors?

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

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 64 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 64.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 64 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, 8, 16, 32, 64 are exact divisors of 64.
  • Factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. Each factor divides 64 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 are all less than or equal to 64.

Steps to find Factors of 64

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 64 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 32 (half of 64). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    64 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    64 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    64 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    64 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    64 ÷ 16 : Remainder = 0
    64 ÷ 32 : Remainder = 0
    64 ÷ 64 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64
