∙ 2013-03-25 01:36:51The 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.
Factors are single numbers. Factor pairs are listed in pairs.
If you mean factor pairs then I know: Factor pairs and factors are both same things and for example this is a factor pair: 4x5, 6x5, 7x5. Factors or factor pairs is an equation that equals to a total: for example: factors of 20: 5x4, 4x5. BONUS: If one number has 2 or more factor pairs then that is a composite. If a number only has below and 2 that is a prime number.
rectangles = factor pairs
As I understand it, the number of factor pairs is equal to the number of rectangles.
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.
A square number has an odd number of factors, but a number with an odd number of factor pairs is nothing special.
Factor pairs are just the factors of a number listed in a different way. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 The factor pairs of 20 are (20,1)(10,2)(5,4)

The factor pairs of 21 are:1, 213, 7Therefore, the number 21 has two pairs of positive integer factors.
60 has 6 factor pairs.
Factors can be listed as factor pairs. With square numbers, one of those pairs will be the same number twice. When written as a list, only one of them will be used, leaving an odd number of factors.
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
1 and 13. It is a prime number, so those are its only factor.
For every factor of a number, there is another factor that results when you divide the first factor into the number. Factors can be listed in pairs. Since 9 x 4 = 36, (9,4) is a factor pair of 36.
