Factor Pairs up to 100
Part A: Find all factor pairs of 36. Fill in the factor pairs in order from smallest to largest first factor.
Part B: How many total unique factors does 36 have? Incorrect (0 / 1 pt) factors. (Pass 1: 5 • Retake: 3)
Part C: Find all factor pairs of 48 in order from smallest first factor.
Total unique factors of 48: Incorrect (0 / 1 pt) factors. (Pass 1: 5 • Retake: 3)
Factor pairs of 36: 1 × 36, 2 × 18, 3 × 12, 4 × 9, 6 × 6.
Unique factors of 36 (9 total): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 (6 is listed only once because 6 × 6 = 36).
Factor pairs of 48: 1 × 48, 2 × 24, 3 × 16, 4 × 12, 6 × 8.
Unique factors of 48 (10 total): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.
1. Systematic Testing vs. Commutative Duplicates: When finding factor pairs, test integers in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... Reversing a pair you already wrote (such as 9 × 4 when you already have 4 × 9, or 8 × 6 when you already have 6 × 8) is the exact same pair due to the commutative property. Missing pairs were 2 × 18 and 3 × 12 for 36, and 3 × 16 and 4 × 12 for 48.
2. Unique Factors Count: To count unique factors, list out all distinct numbers that divide the target with no remainder. For 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 (9 unique factors). For 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 (10 unique factors).
