Question

List factor pairs of 56

Answer 1

Factor pairs are pairs of numbers that, when multiplied together, equal the original number. Prime numbers only have the factors 1 and the number itself.
I start by prime factoring the number, then combining our primes to make the factor pairs:
56 = 8 x 7
56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7

For 56, we have:
1 and 56
2 and 28  (2, then combine 2 x 2 x 7)
4 and 14   (2 x 2 = 4 , then combine 2 x 7=14)
7 and 8     (2 x 2 x 2=8, then 7)
