What can you multiply to get to 110?

Answer 1

For any number x, you can multiply any of it's factors by x/factor to get x. For 110, 11 is a factor, and 110/11 is 10. So 10 * 11 = 110. In the case of 110, all of the factors are as follows:

1, 2, 5, 22, 55, 110

There is a pattern here; the first and last numbers multiplied together will give you the value 110, and then the 2nd numbers from the front and back will multiply to get 110, and so on. This is true for all integers.

If you find the prime factorization of the number, you can determine all the possible combinations of multiplying numbers to get the original number, that is to say, where you can multiply 3, 4 or more numbers together to get the original number.

For example, the prime factorization of 110 is as follows:

2, 5, 11. So you can see that 2*5*11=110 as well.
