Steps to find factors of 87 in pair

Example: Find factors of 87 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 87 1 x 87 = 87
3 and 29 3 x 29 = 87

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 87. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 87 would be ( -1 , -87 ) .

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 87 are 1 , 3 , 29 , 87. So, factors of 87 in pair are (1,87), (3,29).

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 number is a factor of zero (0), since 87 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, 3, 29, 87 are exact divisors of 87.
  • Factors of 87 are 1, 3, 29, 87. Each factor divides 87 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 87

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 87 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 43 (half of 87). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    87 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    87 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    87 ÷ 29 : Remainder = 0
    87 ÷ 87 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 87 are 1, 3, 29, and 87
