How are the dimensions of the rectangles for a given number of square tiles related to factor pairs of the number?
The number of square tiles is always equal to factor pairs. As an example, imagine a rectangle that contains 8 squares - 2 rows of 4. 2 X 4 = 8. In other words, the dimensions of the rectangles are ALWAYS equal to a factor pair of the number of squares in the rectangle. A rectangle containing 24 squares could be made as 24x1, 12x2, 8x3, or 6x4.

What is a rectangular number sequence?
A rectangular number sequence is the sequence of numbers of counters needed to construct a sequence of rectangles, where the dimensions of the sides of the rectangles are whole numbers and change in a regular way. The individual sequences representing the sides are usually arithmetic progressions, but could in principle be given by difference equations, geometric progressions, or functions of the dimensions of the sides of previous rectangles in the sequence.
How many rectangles are in a rectangle?
There are an infinite number of rectangles for any given area, while there is only one square for any given area. The number of integer-value rectangles depends on the area and the number of integer factors of a whole-number area. Example: a rectangular area of 6 square inches could be enclosed by rectangles that were 1x6, 2x3, 3x2, and 6x1. Non-integer dimensions would include 1.5x4 and 1.2x5 inches.
What number of tiles can form exactly five different rectangles if the number is between 50 and 100 and has only one prime factor?
80
How do you find the length and width of a rectangle if you only have the area?
You can't. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. Even if you know the area,there are an infinite number of different rectangles, all with different dimensions,that all have the same area.Here are dimensions of a few rectangles that all have area of 60:1 x 601.5 x 402 x 302.5 x 243 x 204 x 154.8 x 12.55 x 126 x 107.5 x 8
How are odd and even products related to their factors?
2 cannot be a factor of an odd number, 2 must be a factor of an even number.
