Finding Factor Pairs
Grade 4 · Math · Factors and Multiples · New Jersey, USA
Lesson Summary
A factor pair is two numbers that multiply together to make a given number. Listing factor pairs helps you find all the factors.
Explanation
A factor pair of 24 is two numbers whose product is 24, like 3 and 8 because 3 × 8 = 24. To find all factor pairs, start with 1 × 24, then try 2 × 12, 3 × 8, and 4 × 6. Once you reach a pair where the numbers repeat or cross over, you have found them all. Listing factor pairs is a neat, organized way to make sure you do not miss any factors.
