Factors of 90 in pair are (1, 90) , (2, 45) , (3, 30) , (5, 18) , (6, 15) and (9, 10)

How to find factors of a number in pair

Steps to find factors of 90 in pair

Example: Find factors of 90 in pair

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 90 1 x 90 = 90
2 and 45 2 x 45 = 90
3 and 30 3 x 30 = 90
5 and 18 5 x 18 = 90
6 and 15 6 x 15 = 90
9 and 10 9 x 10 = 90

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 90. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 90 would be ( -1 , -90 ) .

Definition of factor pairs?

In mathematics, factor pair are often given as pair of numbers which when multiplied together give the original number. Every natural number is a product of atleast one factor pair. Eg- Factors of 90 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 10 , 15 , 18 , 30 , 45 , 90. So, factors of 90 in pair are (1,90), (2,45), (3,30), (5,18), (6,15), (9,10).

What are factors?

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

Properties of Factors

  • Each number is a factor of itself. Eg. 90 is a factor of itself.
  • 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, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 are exact divisors of 90.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 90.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 90 x 0 = 0.

Steps to find Factors of 90

  • Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 90 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 45 (half of 90). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
    90 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 2 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 3 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 5 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 6 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 9 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 10 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 15 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 18 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 30 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 45 : Remainder = 0
    90 ÷ 90 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 90 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, and 90
