The positive integer factors of 54 are:1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54The negative equivalents of these numbers are also factors of 54 - since a negative number multiplied by a negative number is equal to a positive, you can say, for example, -54 x -1 = 54. In which case, the negative factors of 54 are:-1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -18, -27, -54
The prime factors of 2 are: Well, 2 has no prime factors because 2 is a prime number The prime factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, & 6
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294 and their negative counterparts.
The prime factors of 42 are 2, 3 and 7.
1, -1, 3, -3, 9, -9
The factors of -18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 and their negative counterparts. The prime factors are 2 and 3.
1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 6, -6
1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 6, -6

Can't be done as -72 is negative, and there are no negative primes to get you there!
1, -1, 3, -3, 5, -5, 15, -15
The factors of -42 are : -1, 1, -2, 2, -3, 3, -6, 6, -7, 72 × -21 = -42 (two times negative twenty-one). -2 × 21 = -42 (negative two times twenty-one). There are many other numerals that can be used, simply have a negative somewhere in the equation.
Sure. Take any positive number and find its factors. Then, if you make an odd number of the factors negative, you then have a set of factors of the negative of the original composite number. That means that the factors of a negative number are not 'unique'. Take ' 6 ' for example. Its factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6. If you make the '1' or the '2' or the '3' or the '6' negative, then you have four factors of ' -6 '. Are there any other ways to make an odd number of them negative ? I see eight different ways to make an odd number of those four numbers negative. So ' -6 ' has eight different possible sets of factors. Is that weird or what !
-1, 1, 2, -2, 3,-3, 4, -4, 6, -6-12, 12

Factors are (3x + 2)(x + 2) so x is either -2/3 or -2 If term in x is negative then factors are (3x - 2)(x - 2) and solutions are 2/3 and 2.
The prime factors of 2 are: Well, 2 has no prime factors because 2 is a prime number The prime factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, & 6
