Steps to find factors of 88 in pair

Example: Find factors of 88 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 88 1 x 88 = 88
2 and 44 2 x 44 = 88
4 and 22 4 x 22 = 88
8 and 11 8 x 11 = 88

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 88. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 88 would be ( -1 , -88 ) .

What does factor pairs in mathematics mean?

In mathematics, factor pair of a number are all those possible combination which when multiplied together give the original number in return. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 88 are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 11 , 22 , 44 , 88. So, factors of 88 in pair are (1,88), (2,44), (4,22), (8,11).

What is the definition of factors?

In mathematics, factors are number, algebraic expressions which when multiplied together produce desired product. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 88 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 88.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 88 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, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88 are exact divisors of 88.
  • Factors of 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88. Each factor divides 88 without leaving a remainder.
  • Every factor of a number is less than or equal to the number, eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88 are all less than or equal to 88.

Steps to find Factors of 88

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 88 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 44 (half of 88). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    88 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 4 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 8 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 22 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 44 : Remainder = 0
    88 ÷ 88 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, and 88
