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.

What are factor pairs?
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.
What are the factor pairs of NEGATIVE numbers?
So, when two negative numbers multiply, their product is a positive number (Remember the rule: minus x minus = plus). So, both the numbers in the factor pair should be either negative or positive to give a positive number as a product. For example: (-3 and -6) and (-2 and -9) form factor pairs for 18.
What two numbers have a greatest common factor as 850?
An infinite number of number pairs have a greatest common factor of 850. One example is 1700 and 2550.
What are the factor pairs of 29?
The factor pairs of 29 are 1 and 29. 29 is prime so it has only one factor pair.
What number has 5 factor pairs?
36, for one.
What do they mean if they say name 2 different factors pairs for each number?
Prime numbers have one factor pair. Composite numbers have two or more pairs. (6,8) and (4,12) are two different factor pairs for 48.
What numbers have the least amount of factor pairs?
Prime numbers have one factor pair.
What are factor pairs?
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.
What are pairs of numbers whose greatest common factor is the same as one of the numbers?
In that case, one of the numbers is a multiple of the other.
What are two pairs of numbers with one as their greatest common factor?
They are called relative prime numbers.
What is the difference between factor pairs and distinct factor pairs?
The difference is between factor pairs and distinct factors. With square numbers, one of the factor pairs will be the same number twice. When listing the distinct factors, that number is only listed once.
Why do the factor pairs 2 and 16 and 16 and 2 count as one of the pairs?
Because a pair of numbers is a pair of numbers.
How many pairs of composite numbers are in 36?
Only two: (4, 9) and (6, 6). In all other factor pairs, one of the numbers is not composite.
What are two pairs of numbers with one of the numbers in thepair as their greastest common factor?
3 and 6 4 and 8
What are the factor pairs of NEGATIVE numbers?
So, when two negative numbers multiply, their product is a positive number (Remember the rule: minus x minus = plus). So, both the numbers in the factor pair should be either negative or positive to give a positive number as a product. For example: (-3 and -6) and (-2 and -9) form factor pairs for 18.
How many pairs of factors are in 17 the numbers?
17 has one factor pair, 1 and 17.
Why are composite numbers called composite numbers?
To distinguish them from prime numbers. Composite means "made up of various parts or elements." Prime numbers have one and only one factor pair. Composite numbers have a various number of factor pairs, but always more than one.
