Finding Factor Pairs Using a T Chart

The video tutorial explains how to find all factor pairs of a number using a T-chart. It begins by defining factors and illustrating the concept with examples. The commutative property of multiplication is discussed, emphasizing that factors can be listed in any order. Common mistakes in listing factor pairs are highlighted, such as forgetting that a number is a factor of itself. The tutorial then demonstrates using a T-chart to systematically find factor pairs, using the number 12 as an example. The process involves listing factors in sequence and checking for completeness.

What is a factor in mathematical terms?

• A number that can be divided by another number without a remainder

• A number that is always greater than the product

• A number that cannot be divided by any other number

• A number that is always less than the product

Which property states that the order of multiplication does not affect the product?

• Identity Property

• Associative Property

• Distributive Property

• Commutative Property

What is a common mistake when listing factor pairs of a number?

• Including the number itself as a factor

• Listing only some of the factors

• Using a T-chart to find factors

• Listing factors in descending order

What is the first step in using a T-chart to find factor pairs?

• Start with the largest factor

• Begin with the number 1

• List all even numbers

• Start with the number itself

Which of the following is a factor pair of 12?

• 2 and 5

• 1 and 11

• 3 and 4

• 6 and 7
