A factor pair is two numbers. A factor pair is the set of two factors that when multiplied together result in the number of which they are factors.
For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The factor pairs are 1 x 12, 2 x 6, and 3 x 4.

Factor pairs are two numbers multiplied together to get one number. Examples: One factor pair of 24 is 4, 6. One factor pair of 70 is 5, 14. One factor pair of 144 is 12, 12.
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.
An infinite number of number pairs have a greatest common factor of 850. One example is 1700 and 2550.
The factor pairs of 29 are 1 and 29. 29 is prime so it has only one factor pair.
Oh, absolutely! Just like when we add a touch of titanium white to brighten up a painting, numbers can have many factor pairs beyond just four. Some numbers, like 12, can have even more factor pairs, creating a beautiful mathematical landscape full of possibilities. Just remember, every number is unique and special in its own way.
