Is negative 9 a factor of 9?
Yes, technically, since -9 x -1 = 9 In general, we don't list negative factors of positive numbers. We do list negative factors of negative numbers.
What are the factor pairs of NEGATIVE numbers?
The numbers are the same as positive numbers, just the signs change. Write out the factor pairs as if the number were positive, but make one of the numbers positive and one negative. Now write the same pairs over again and reverse the signs. Negative numbers have twice as many factor pairs as positive numbers do.
What factor do all negative numbers have in common?
One and negative one.
How do you factor negative numbers?
The same as with positive numbers. The factors of negative numbers have the same absolute value. One set positive, one set negative. Example: -12 1,2,3,4,6,12,-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-12
Can you get a greatest common factor for negative numbers?
Sure. But since negative numbers have positive factors and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers, the answer will be the same regardless of the sign. The GCF of 4 and 9, -4 and 9, 4 and -9 and -4 and -9 is 1.
Why can't you factor negative radical numbers?
You cannot factor negative radical numbers because the square of a number must always be positive. A negative number multiplied by a negative number produces a positive number. So, it is impossible to have a negative radical.
What are 2 negative factors of 96 such that 1 factor is 4 less than the other?
These numbers are -12 and -8.
What is the lowest common factor of 14 and 26?
The lowest common factor is always 1 ( or -1 if you allow negative numbers)-- not very interesting- the usual question is, "What is the highest common factor? " (2 in this case) or "What is the lowest common multiple?" (14 * 13 in this case)
Can negative numbers have prime factorizations?
No. Any factor string of a negative number would have to include at least one negative number and there aren't any negative prime numbers.
Which are the prime numbers with 1 as the common factor?
All prime numbers have a common factor of 1.
When is 1 the greatest common factor of 2 numbers?
1 is a factor of every whole number, and the gcf of two numbers can be 1 if there is no larger factor common to both numbers.
What are negative numbers?
Negative numbers are numbers that go below.say you have 3 and take away 4 that would take you to negative 1 .
