Steps to find factors of 9 in pair

Example: Find factors of 9 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 9 1 x 9 = 9
3 and 3 3 x 3 = 9

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 9. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 9 would be ( -1 , -9 ) .

What does factor pairs of a number mean?

Factor pairs are those factors in pair that can give original number when multiplied. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 9 are 1 , 3 , 9. So, factors of 9 in pair are (1,9), (3,3).

How can we define factors?

In mathematics, a factor is a number which divides into another number exactly, without leaving any remainder. A factor of a number can be positive of negative.

Properties of Factors

  • Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number, example 1, 3, 9 are exact divisors of 9.
  • Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, namely the number itself and 1.
  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 9 is a factor of itself.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 9.

Steps to find Factors of 9

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 9 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 4 (half of 9). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    9 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    9 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    9 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9
