Pairs?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In math, a factor pair is defined as a set of two factors, which, when multiplied together, give a particular product. In other words, it is a set of two numbers we multiply to get a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For instance, in the multiplication statement, 6 \u00d7 7 = 42, 6 and 7 is one of the factor pair that gives us the product 42.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In other words, 42 is the product of 6 and 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A number can have multiple factor pairs. We can write the factor pair as (<em>a<\/em>, <em>b<\/em>) where <em>a<\/em> and <em>b<\/em> are the factors of the number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: For the number 24;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"591\"

class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can write 24 as the product of 1 \u00d7 24; 2 \u00d7 12 ; 3 \u00d7 8; 4 \u00d7 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the factor pairs of 24 are (1, 24); (2, 12); (3, 8) and (4, 6).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Negative Factor Pairs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can also find negative factor pairs of a number since the product of two negative integers is always positive.&nbsp;For example, the negative factor pairs of 24 are (-1, -24); (-2, -12); (-3, -8) and (-4, -6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\"

class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-factor-pairs-of-integers\">Factor Pairs of Integers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">An integer is a whole number(not in fractional form) that can be positive, negative or 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: -3, -10, 0, 18 etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Positive Integers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Factor pairs of positive integers are the pairs of integers whose product will be the integer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: Factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can write 12 = 1 \u00d7 12; 2 \u00d7 6; 3 \u00d7 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the factor of 12 in pairs = (1, 12); (2, 6); (3, 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Negative Integers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Negative numbers are the numbers that lie on the left side of 0. For example: -2, -10, -150.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">When we talk about the factor pairs of such numbers, we need to see the sign of the number. Since, the negative numbers have minus(-) sign in front of them, so one factor in the factor pair will be a negative number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: Find the factor pairs of -24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Factors of -24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, and -24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can write -24 = 1 \u00d7 -24, 2 \u00d7 -12, 3 \u00d7 -8, 4 \u00d7 -6, 6 \u00d7 -4, 8 \u00d7 -3, 12 \u00d7 -2, and 24 \u00d7 -1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The factor pairs of -24 are (1, -24); (2, -12); (3, -8); (4, -6); (6, -4); (8, -3); (12, -2); (24, -1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Prime Numbers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Prime Number is a number that has only two factors, 1 and the number itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Any prime number will have only a single factor pair since there are only two factors. For Example: For the prime number 13: 13 \u00d7 1 = 13, therefore it has only one factor pair. In this case the factor pair will be (1, 13) only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-factor-pairs-of-fractions\">Factor Pairs of Fractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Fractions are the numbers that can be represented in the form of $\\frac{p}{q}$ where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. For example: $\\frac{3}{5}$, $\\frac{11}{15}$ etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Finding the factors of the fractions is the same as finding the factors of a whole number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: In the fraction $\\frac{3}{5}$, factors of 3 are 1, 3 and factors of 5 are 1, 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the factors of $\\frac{3}{5}$ are 1, 3,$ \\frac{1}{5}$, $\\frac{3}{5}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the factor pairs of $\\frac{3}{5}$ are (1, $\\frac{3}{5})$; (3, $\\frac{1}{5}$).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-factor-pairs-of-decimal-number\">Factor Pairs of Decimal Number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A decimal number is a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point. For example: 1.2, 3.456, 5.28 etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: For the decimal 1.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Factors of 1.2 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 1.2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The factor pairs of 1.2 are (1, 1.2); (2, 0.6); (3, 0.4); (4, 0.3); (6, 0.2); (12, 0.1).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-factor-pairs-of-algebraic-expressions\">Factor Pairs of Algebraic Expressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">An algebraic expression is an expression that is made up of variables and constants along with the algebraic operations like addition, subtraction etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The factors of an algebraic expression can be formed by either splitting the middle term or finding the HCF.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example 1: For the expression 2 <em>x<\/em> + 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">2 <em>x<\/em> + 6 = 2 (<em>x<\/em> + 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Factors of 2 <em>x<\/em> + 6 are 1, 2, (<em>x<\/em> + 3), (2 <em>x<\/em> + 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the factor pairs of 2 <em>x<\/em> + 6 are (1, (2 <em>x<\/em> + 6)) and (2, (<em>x<\/em> + 3)).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example 2: For the expression $x^ 2$ &#8211; x-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$x^2$ &#8211; x &#8211; 2 = $x^2$ &#8211; 2 x + x &#8211; 2 = x (x &#8211; 2) + 1(x &#8211; 2) = (x + 1) (x &#8211; 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Factors of $x^ 2$ &#8211; x &#8211; 2 are 1, (x + 1), (x &#8211; 2) and ($x^2$ &#8211; x &#8211; 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the factor pairs of $x^2$ &#8211; x &#8211; 2 are (1, ($x^2$ &#8211; x &#8211; 2)); ((x + 1),(x &#8211; 2)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In this article, we learnt about factor pairs.
