Hence, Factors of 172 are 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, and 172
A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime factorization of a number means breaking down of the number into the form of products of its prime factors.
There are two different methods that can be used for the prime factorization.
To find the primefactors of 172 using the division method, follow these steps:
So, the prime factorization of 172 is, 172 = 2 x 2 x 43.
We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 172 as shown below:
So, the prime factorization of 172 is, 172 = 2 x 2 x 43.
Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 172 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 172 as the result.
The following table represents the calculation of factors of 172 in pairs:
| Factor Pair | Pair Factorization |
|---|---|
| 1 and 172 | 1 x 172 = 172 |
| 2 and 86 | 2 x 86 = 172 |
| 4 and 43 | 4 x 43 = 172 |
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 172. They are called negative pair factors.
Hence, the negative pairs of 172 would be ( -1 , -172 ) , ( -2 , -86 ) and ( -4 , -43 ) .
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.
