Question

How many factor pairs does 24 have? explain ​

Answer 1

Answer:

4 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total number of factors of 24.

A factor is a positive whole number that can go into 24 without remainders.

The factors are:

1, goes in 24 times

2, goes in 12 times

3, goes in 8 times

4, goes in 6 times

There are also 6, 8, 12 and 24, but they are already found from the number of times the other numbers can go in.

The pairs are:

1 X 24

2 X 12

3 X 8

4 X 6

Therefore 24 has 4 factor pairs.

Answer 2

There are 4 pairs

The factor pairs of 24 are: 1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, and 4 x 6.

1 times 24 = 24
2 times 12 = 24 <— (12+12)
3 times 8 = 24 <—- (8+8+8)
4 times 6 = 24 <—- (6+6+6+6)
