Question

5. What is product of 150 and the largest whole number?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the pair factors of 150, multiply the two numbers in a pair to get the original number as 150, such numbers are as follows:

If 1 × 150 = 150, then (1, 150) is a pair factor of 150.

Similarly,

2 × 75 = 150, (2, 75) is a pair factor of 150

3 × 50 = 150, (3, 50) is a pair factor of 150

5 × 30 = 150, (5, 30) is a pair factor of 150

6 × 25 = 150, (6, 25) is a pair factor of 150

10 × 15 = 150, (10, 15) is a pair factor of 150

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 150 are (1, 150), (2, 75), (3, 50), (5, 30), (6, 25), and (10, 15).

To find the negative pair factors of 150, then proceed with the following steps

If -1 × -150 = 150, then (-1, -150) is a pair factor of 150.

Similarly,

-2 × -75 = 150, (-2, -75) is a pair factor of 150

-3 × -50 = 150, (-3, -50) is a pair factor of 150

-5 × -30 = 150, (-5, -30) is a pair factor of 150

-6 × -25 = 150, (-6, -25) is a pair factor of 150

-10 × -15 = 150, (-10, -15) is a pair factor of 150

Therefore, the negative factor pairs of 150 are (-1, -150), (-2, -75), (-3, -50), (-5, -30), (-6, -25), and (-10, -15).
