Question

Name a pair of whole number factors whose product is 8

Answer 1

"Factors" just means numbers in the context of multiplication - so we just need to name a pair of numbers that, when multiplied, give 8.

Those would be: 1 and 8

2 and 4

so there are two solution to this question: 1 and 8, 2 and 4!

we can also include negative numbers:

-1 and -8
-2 and -4

because a multiplication of two negative numbers gives a positive result!
