How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 6561 in pair

Example: Find factors of 6561 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 6561 1 x 6561 = 6561
3 and 2187 3 x 2187 = 6561
9 and 729 9 x 729 = 6561
27 and 243 27 x 243 = 6561
81 and 81 81 x 81 = 6561

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 6561. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 6561 would be ( -1 , -6561 ) .

Introduction to factor pairs

Factor pair in mathematics is defined as all factors of a given number which when written in pair and multiplied gives the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 6561 are 1 , 3 , 9 , 27 , 81 , 243 , 729 , 2187 , 6561. So, factors of 6561 in pair are (1,6561), (3,2187), (9,729), (27,243), (81,81).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics a factor is a number which divides into another without leaving any remainder. Or we can say, any two numbers that multiply to give a product are both factors of that product. It can be both positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, 6561 are exact divisors of 6561.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 6561 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 6561.

Steps to find Factors of 6561

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 6561 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 3280 (half of 6561). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    6561 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 27 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 81 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 243 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 729 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 2187 : Remainder = 0
    6561 ÷ 6561 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 6561 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, and 6561
