Steps to find factors of 891 in pair

Example: Find factors of 891 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 891 1 x 891 = 891
3 and 297 3 x 297 = 891
9 and 99 9 x 99 = 891
11 and 81 11 x 81 = 891
27 and 33 27 x 33 = 891

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 891. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 891 would be ( -1 , -891 ) .

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 891 are 1 , 3 , 9 , 11 , 27 , 33 , 81 , 99 , 297 , 891. So, factors of 891 in pair are (1,891), (3,297), (9,99), (11,81), (27,33).

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

  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 891 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, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, 891 are exact divisors of 891.
  • Factors of 891 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, 891. Each factor divides 891 without leaving a remainder.

Steps to find Factors of 891

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 891 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 445 (half of 891). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    891 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 11 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 27 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 33 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 81 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 99 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 297 : Remainder = 0
    891 ÷ 891 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 891 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, and 891
