Steps to find factors of 76 in pair

Example: Find factors of 76 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 76 1 x 76 = 76
2 and 38 2 x 38 = 76
4 and 19 4 x 19 = 76

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 76. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 76 would be ( -1 , -76 ) .

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 76 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 19 , 38 , 76. So, factors of 76 in pair are (1,76), (2,38), (4,19).

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. 76 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 76.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 76 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, 19, 38, 76 are exact divisors of 76.
  • Factors of 76 are 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76. Each factor divides 76 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76 are all less than or equal to 76.

Steps to find Factors of 76

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 76 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 38 (half of 76). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    76 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    76 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    76 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    76 ÷ 19 : Remainder = 0
    76 ÷ 38 : Remainder = 0
    76 ÷ 76 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 76 are 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, and 76
