Best Answer

There are not always an even number of factor pairs of a number - for example, prime numbers have an even number of factors, because they are divisible by themselves and 1, but this is only one pair of factors. However, for any square number, (for example, 3 x 3 = 9, 4 x 4 = 16), at least one of these factor pairs will consist of the same number repeated twice.
