Steps to find factors of 77 in pair

Example: Find factors of 77 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 77 1 x 77 = 77
7 and 11 7 x 11 = 77

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 77. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 77 would be ( -1 , -77 ) .

How do you define factor pairs of a number?

A factor pair of a number can be defined as the combination of two factors in such a way that when multiplied together produce the number itself. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 77 are 1 , 7 , 11 , 77. So, factors of 77 in pair are (1,77), (7,11).

How do you explain factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number or also it can be an algebraic expression that divides another number or any expression completely and that too without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 7, 11, 77 are exact divisors of 77.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 77 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 77.

Steps to find Factors of 77

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 77 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 38 (half of 77). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    77 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    77 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0
    77 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    77 ÷ 77 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 77 are 1, 7, 11, and 77
