What two numbers multiplied equal 1760?

Answer 1

Start by factoring the number into primes.

1760 is an even number, so it has at least a factor of 2:

1760 = 2*880

...880 is even, so another factor of 2:

1760 = 2*2*440

Continuing this way...

1760 = 2*2*2*2*2*55

55 is odd so it isn't a multiple of 2. 55 isn't a multiple of 3, either. But (ending in 5) it's clearly a multiple of 5:

55 = 5*11

11 is prime.

So 1760 = 2*2*2*2*2*5*11 = (2^5)*5*11

This is the number's prime factorization.

To answer the question, choose to group the prime factors any way you wish;

1760 = (2)*(2*2*2*2*5*11) = 2*880

1760 = (2*2)*(2*2*2*5*11) = 4*440

1760 = (2*5)(2*2*2*2*11) = 10*176

1760 = (2*2*2*5)*(2*2*11) = 40*44

1760 = (2*11)*(2*2*2*2*5) = 22*80

etc.

Many answers are possible.
