No, you should continue checking for factor pairs even if you find a pair that repeats. A repeating pair indicates that the number is not a prime number, but there may be other factor pairs that have not been identified yet. It is important to exhaust all possible factor pairs to ensure that all factors of the number are identified accurately.
12 has three factor pairs, six if you count their negative counterparts.
Divide by 5. (65,1)(13,5)
15 and 30 have a GCF of 15. There are other such pairs.
30 has four factor pairs:30,115,210,36,5
You find a factor pair take the number that you want to find the factor pair of and divide it by a number. If the answer come out evenly then that's your factor pair EX. Factor pairs of 150 1 and 150 2 and 75 3 and 50 5 and 30 6 and 25 10 and 15
30,115,210,36,5
Divide by two and three until you get to five. (30,1)(15,2)(10,3)(6,5)
