Factors of 7 that add upto 8

Steps to find factors of 7 that add upto 8

• Find all factors.
• Then we find the sum of combinations of factors.
• Note down the combination of factors with sum as 8, and read off the answer!

Steps to find Factors of 7

• Step 1. Find all the numbers that would divide 7 without leaving any remainder. Starting with the number 1 upto 3 (half of 7). The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of the given number.
  7 ÷ 1 : Remainder = 0

  7 ÷ 7 : Remainder = 0

Hence, Factors of 7 are 1 and 7

What is the definition of factors?

When certain numbers are multiplied together they produce a product, in that case the numbers used are defined as the factors of the product obtained. A factor of a number can be positive or negative.

Properties of Factors

• Every number is a factor of zero (0), since 7 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, 7 are exact divisors of 7.
• Factors of 7 are 1, 7. Each factor divides 7 without leaving a remainder.
• Every number consists of one common and smallest factor and that is number 1.
