Factors of 2

Today we are going to find out the factors of 2 in just few steps.

              Step-1:


◆The numbers that can divide 2 without remainder are called 2's factors.


◆Rule-1: N's factor is the number that can divide N without remainder.


◆Notice that the factors of a number always includes 1 and itself.




             Step-2:

Notice that the factors of a number always includes 1 and itself.

So,the factors of 2 are 1, ............2.


●A simple way is to find what pairs of numbers multiply to get 2.



●2 = 1× 2



2 is divisible by 1 and 2 without any remainder.So,1 and 2 are the two factors of 2.


Proofs:


●2/1=2

●2/2=1



                Step-3:




So,the total number of positive factors of 2 (including 1 and itself) are 1 and 2.

            Step-4

●We have to keep in mind that the factors of an integer include both the positive and negative integers.


So, the factors of 2  include negative numbers or integers. Hence, all the positive factors of 2 can be easily converted to negative numbers .The negative factors of 2 are given below:

●-1 and -2

Look carefully:


(◆Negative times  Negative=Positive) 


●2=-1×-2



So,the total number of  negative factors of 2  are 

 -1 and -2.

●How many factors does the number 2 have?

Ans:The number 2 has 4 factors totally.The number 2 has 2 positive factors and 2 negative factors.

●1 and 2.

● -1 and -2.

◆Factor Pairs of 2 ||Factors of 2 in Pairs

• Here are the factor pairs of 2.

●A simple way is to find what pairs of numbers multiply to get 2.

●2=1×2


Look carefully:



●2=-1×-2


The integer 2 has 2 factor pairs.These are given below:

●1×2

and

●-1×-2
