2. Steps to find factors of 2058 using Prime Factorization

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.

Method 1: Division Method

To find the primefactors of 2058 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 2058 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
  • Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 2058, which is 2. Divide 2058 by 2 to obtain the quotient (1029).
    2058 ÷ 2 = 1029
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1029).
    1029 ÷ 3 = 343
    343 ÷ 7 = 49
    49 ÷ 7 = 7
    7 ÷ 7 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 2058 is, 2058 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7.

Method 2: Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 2058 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 2058 is, 2058 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7.

3. Find factors of 2058 in Pairs

Pair factors of a number are any two numbers which, which on multiplying together, give that number as a result. The pair factors of 2058 would be the two numbers which, when multiplied, give 2058 as the result.

The following table represents the calculation of factors of 2058 in pairs:

Factor Pair Pair Factorization
1 and 2058 1 x 2058 = 2058
2 and 1029 2 x 1029 = 2058
3 and 686 3 x 686 = 2058
6 and 343 6 x 343 = 2058
7 and 294 7 x 294 = 2058
14 and 147 14 x 147 = 2058
21 and 98 21 x 98 = 2058
42 and 49 42 x 49 = 2058

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 2058. They are called negative pair factors.

Hence, the negative pairs of 2058 would be ( -1 , -2058 ) , ( -2 , -1029 ) , ( -3 , -686 ) , ( -6 , -343 ) , ( -7 , -294 ) , ( -14 , -147 ) , ( -21 , -98 ) and ( -42 , -49 ) .

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. 2058 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, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294, 343, 686, 1029, 2058 are exact divisors of 2058.
  • 1 is a factor of every number. Eg. 1 is a factor of 2058.
  • Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 2058 x 0 = 0.
