Finding Factors Using Multiplication Method

The multiplication method involves finding pairs of numbers that give 49 as their product.
 

A step-by-step process:

Step 1: Find the possible numbers whose product will give 49.
Step 2: The numbers found should have 49 as the product. These numbers are its factors.
Step 3: Rewrite the particular numbers and pair them.

List of numbers whose product is 49:

1 × 49 = 49
7 × 7 = 49

So the pair of numbers whose product is 49 are (1,49) and (7,7).

Finding Factors Using Division Method

The division method helps to find the dividend and quotient as the factors of 49

 

Step-by-step process:

Step 1: Always start the division with the number 1. Since every number is divisible by 1, the number 1 will always be a factor. Example: 49÷1 = 49    

Step 2: Move to the next integer and see if the number gets divided completely. Both divisor and quotient are the factors.

Picture showing the division process:

Here, 1 and 7 are the divisors and 49 is the dividend. 7 and 49 are the quotients. The remainder is zero.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. Prime factorization is the process of breaking down the number into its prime factors.


Prime Factors of 49

Number 49 has only 7 as its prime factor.

To find the prime factor of 49:

Divide 49 with the prime number 7

49÷7 = 7
7÷7 = 1

 

Prime Factorization of 49

Prime Factorization helps to express the prime factors in their exponential form. Prime Factorization breaks down the prime factors of 49. Prime Factorization of 49 is expressed as 72

Factor Tree

The prime factorization is visually represented using the factor tree. It helps to understand the process easily. In this factor tree, each branch splits into prime factors.

Factor Pairs

Factors of 49 can be written in both positive pairs and negative pairs. The factor pairs are a set of two factors. Their product will be equal to the number given.

  • Positive factor pairs: (1,49), (7,7)
  • Negative factor pairs: (-1,-49), (-7,-7)
