Steps to find factors of 676 in pair

Example: Find factors of 676 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 676 1 x 676 = 676
2 and 338 2 x 338 = 676
4 and 169 4 x 169 = 676
13 and 52 13 x 52 = 676
26 and 26 26 x 26 = 676

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 676. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 676 would be ( -1 , -676 ) .

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 676 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 13 , 26 , 52 , 169 , 338 , 676. So, factors of 676 in pair are (1,676), (2,338), (4,169), (13,52), (26,26).

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

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 676 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 676.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 676 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, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676 are exact divisors of 676.
  • Factors of 676 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676. Each factor divides 676 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676 are all less than or equal to 676.

Steps to find Factors of 676

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 676 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 338 (half of 676). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    676 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 13 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 26 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 52 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 169 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 338 : Remainder = 0
    676 ÷ 676 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 676 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, and 676
