The factor pairs of 9055 are (9055, 1) (1811, 5) Neither of them add up to -10
You can't have the sum of one thing. Factors multiply to get a product. 7 x 9 = 63. If you add those two numbers, you will get a sum. 7 + 9 = 16
if you have 54 and you do not understand what the word factor pair means , well the word factor pair is when you try to find something that will multiply to that number for example yo have 30the factor pair would be 1x30, 2x15, 3x10, and 5x4 all of these numbers add up to 30
The two numbers that add to give you 18 and multiply to give you 40 are 10 and 8. This is because 10 + 8 = 18 and 10 x 8 = 80. However, if the question is referring to two numbers that add to 18 and multiply to 40, the correct pair would be 5 and 8, as 5 + 8 = 13 and 5 x 8 = 40.
One place where this is used is to simplify fractions: you need to find the greatest common factor, then divide top and bottom by this greatest common factor.Also, in factoring expressions - you can take out the greatest common factor. For example (using "^" for power): 5x^2 + 10x has the greatest common factor 5x; so this can be taken out as a common factor, resulting in 5x(x + 2).
