Understanding Factors and Factor Pairs

This video tutorial explains the concept of factors and factor pairs, using the numbers 6 and 16 as examples. It demonstrates how to find factor pairs by multiplying numbers and visualizing them through area models. The tutorial also provides a step-by-step method to identify all factor pairs of a given number, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

What are factors of a number?

• Numbers that can be divided by a given number

• Numbers that add up to a given number

• Numbers that are greater than a given number

• Numbers that can be multiplied together to get a given number

Which of the following is a factor pair of 6?

• 1 and 5

• 2 and 4

• 2 and 3

• 3 and 4

How can factor pairs be visualized using area?

• By forming rectangles

• By creating triangles

• By drawing circles

• By sketching lines

What is the area of a rectangle with dimensions 2 units by 3 units?

• 6 square units

• 5 square units

• 9 square units

• 8 square units

What is the first step in finding factor pairs of a number like 16?

• Begin with the number 1

• Start with the number 2

• Start with the number 3

• Begin with the number 4

Which of the following is a factor pair of 16?

• 3 and 5

• 7 and 8

• 4 and 4

• 5 and 6

Why is 3 not a factor of 16?

• 3 times 6 is 18 and 3 times 7 is 21

• 3 times 4 is 12 and 3 times 5 is 15

• 3 times 2 is 6 and 3 times 3 is 9

• 3 times 5 is 15 and 3 times 6 is 18

What is the significance of reaching halfway when finding factor pairs?

• It suggests you need to double-check

• It indicates you missed some pairs

• It means you need to start over

• It means you have found all factor pairs

Which of the following is NOT a factor pair of 16?

• 1 and 16

• 2 and 8

• 3 and 6

• 4 and 4

What is the final factor pair of 16 mentioned in the video?

• 4 and 4

• 5 and 5

• 2 and 7

• 1 and 15
