Factor Pairs Definition

Introduction to factor pairs definition:

Factorization is a method of splitting up a given numbers into prime or complex numbers. In this factor pair is a pair of numbers when multiply the factors it will give a original number. For example the factor pairs of 20 are 1 * 20 = 20, 2 * 10 = 20, 4 * 5 = 20. The pairs are (1, 20), (2, 10) and (4, 5).

Steps to Find the Factor Pairs:

Step 1: Write down the given number.

Step 2: Split up the given number into complex or prime numbers up to maximum level.

Step 3: Write down the factors in the form of ordered pair. Those ordered pairs are factor pairs.

Example Problems – Factor Pairs Definition:

Example 1 – Factor pairs definition:

Figure out the factor pairs for the number 40.

Solution:

The given number is 40

40 can be rewritten as

1 `*` 40 = 40

2 `*` 20 = 40

4 `*` 10 = 40

5 `*` 8  =  40

These are the factors for the given numbers. To write it in factor pairs the factors should write in the form of ordered pair.

The factor pairs are (1, 40), (2, 20), ( 4, 10) and (5, 8).

Example 2 – Factor pairs definition:

Figure out the factor pairs for the number 55.

Solution:

The given number is 55

55 can be rewritten as

1 `*` 55 = 55

5 `*` 11  =  55

These are the factors for the given numbers. To write it in factor pairs the factors should write in the form of ordered pair.

The factor pairs are (1, 55) and (5, 11).

Example 3 – Factor pairs definition:

Figure out the factor pairs for the number 60.

Solution:

The given number is 60

60 can be rewritten as

1 `*` 60 = 60

2 `*` 30 = 60

3 `*` 20 = 60

4 `*` 15 = 60

5 `*` 12 = 60

These are the factors for the given numbers. To write it in factor pairs the factors should write in the form of ordered pair.

Understanding how to do standard deviation is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

The factor pairs are (1, 60), (2, 30), (3, 20), (4, 15) and (5, 12).

Example 4 – Factor pairs definition:

Figure out the factor pairs for the number 24.

Solution:

The given number is 24

40 can be rewritten as

1 `*` 24 = 24

2 `*` 12 = 24

3 `*` 8 =   24

4 `*` 6  =  24

These are the factors for the given numbers. To write it in factor pairs the factors should write in the form of ordered pair.

The factor pairs are (1, 24), (2, 12), (3, 8) and (4, 6).
