Prime Factorization of 54
The factors of the number 54 are the numbers, positive or negative when two different numbers are multiplied together. Let’s consider an example for better understanding.
The factor pairs of the number 11 can be written as (1, 11) and (-1, -11). When you multiply this pair of the negative numbers, it would give you the same result as you multiply the positive numbers. Hence, you can consider both the positive as well as the negative factors of the number 11.
The factor pairs of the number 54 are whole numbers which can either be positive or negative. However, these factors cannot be a decimal number or an integer. For finding the different factors of a number, you can use the prime factorization method.
