Steps to find factors of 729 in pair

Example: Find factors of 729 in pair

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

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 729. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 729 would be ( -1 , -729 ) .

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 729 are 1 , 3 , 9 , 27 , 81 , 243 , 729. So, factors of 729 in pair are (1,729), (3,243), (9,81), (27,27).

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

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

Steps to find Factors of 729

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 729 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 364 (half of 729). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    729 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    729 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    729 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    729 ÷ 27 : Remainder = 0
    729 ÷ 81 : Remainder = 0
    729 ÷ 243 : Remainder = 0
    729 ÷ 729 : Remainder = 0

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