One to one. Each factor pair represents a rectangle.
You can't have three factors in a pair.
Write the composite number you want to factor on a piece of paper. Write one of its factor pairs underneath it. If possible, keep breaking each factor down until all the factors are prime. All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this. Example: 210 210 Divide by two. 105,2 Divide by three. 35,3,2 Divide by five. 7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.
78. Each number is a factor of itself.
These are the factor pairs of 1218: 1218,1 609,2 406,3 203,6 174,7 87,14 58,21 42,29
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.
Find the factor pairs of each number. The greatest factor in common is the GCF. A hint, the definition of a prime number is a number with only two factors: 1 and itself.
To find factor pairs of a number, you divide that number by each integer in turn. If the number divides evenly, you take that divisor, and its answer, as a factor pair. 36 can divide by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36. Thus the factor pairs are 1 and 36, 2 and 18, 3 and 12, 4 and 9, and 6 and 6.

Step 1 : Prime Factorise each number and write in index notation. Step 2 : Multiply the lowest power of each common factor of the given numbers
Prime factor each number and choose the common factors to multiply.85=5x17155=5x315 is the greatest common factor.
The factor pairs of 286 are (143,2)(26,11)(22,13) Only one number in each pair is prime.
