Factor pairs reverse once you have gone through the number that is half the number it started with. For instance, 12 divided by to is 6, so once you reach 6 in you factor pairs, the numbers will reverse. With an odd number such as 7, the center point would be 3 and 4. Even though these numbers aren't like 12, where it is 6 and 6, this is 7 divided by 2 without decimals, instead a lower half and upper half. At that point, the factor pairs reverse.
